Boombox and Late Night Radio to open. 8pm, $20. …

Kansas funk duo The Floozies just headlined First Avenue’s mainroom in Minneapolis last night, September 30th, (or rather early AM in the morning of October).

Starting the party off to a good start was Colorado’s Late Night Radio (aka Alex Medellin). The DJ, in a Goonies T-Shirt, played tracks and live mixes via his laptop on stage. Like many DJs, setting up and leaving the stage was almost immediate.

Late Night Radio’s set was exactly an hour long, and kept the bodies still coming into the venue busy and dancing on the floor.

After a fifteen minute setup, BoomBox was on stage. This duo is producer/DJ Harry and guitarist/singer Zion Rock Godchaux. The band played a blend of 70s rock with funk and big beats. There’s also hints of backbeat and psychedelia guitars thrown into the mix. BoomBox is actually more of a rock band than the typical electronic dance music genre.

Unfortunately, First Avenue listed the wrong set time for The Floozies. They wrote the duo will be on stage at 11pm, but the truth is they weren’t on until 11:30pm.

The two brothers (producer/guitarist Matt Hill and drummer Mark Hill) were greeted by the fans as if they were gods on stage. And it’s appropriate that their new record is called Funk Jesus… which, of course, they did play the song early in their set.

Matt & Mark did it all, looping in mixes and producing music with live guitars and drums. With the help of the custom video screens and flowing lights, the brothers had the dancefloor constantly moving to the flow.

If you’re looking for a good time, The Floozies’ Funk Jesus tour is the perfect dance party you need to attend.

Minneapolis: September 28 to September 30, 2017

We're closing out September with these Minneapolis/St Paul shows.

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE
at Palace Theatre

One of the most important Canadian band Broken Social Scene is making their return to Minnesota at the Palace Theatre next Thursday. The all-star collective (they have officially 19 band members!) has produced notable stars such as Metric, Feist, Stars, Emily Haines, Amy Millan, Apostle of Hustle, etc. This is going to be a great, fun time.

We haven’t seen BSC since 2009 and 2008, so it’s a rare treat that they can all come together to tour.

Expect to see these guys rocking together on stage at the Palace show: Kevin Drew, John Crossingham, Brendan Canning, Sam Goldberg, Charles Spearin, Ariel Engle, Justin Peroff, Leslie Feist, Andrew Whiteman, Emily Haines, Evan Cranley, Amy Millan, Jimmy Shaw, Lisa Lobsinger, David French, Ohad Benchetrit, and Jason Collett.

BSC’s long-awaited fifth album Hug Of Thunder is out now.

Scotland’s Frightened Rabbit to open. The last time we saw the band at Festival Palomino 2016, we wrote, “The band undoubtedly gained new fans as a result of their early slot and songs like ‘Old Old Fashioned’ seemed tailor fit to this type of festival. ‘The Woodpile’ remains a sonic tour-de-force and the band closed with 2010’s somewhat somber, ‘The Loneliness and the Scream’.”

JUDAH & THE LION
at First Avenue
Friday 09/29/2017 (8pm/$22/Sold Out)

Judah & The Lion has sold out their appearance at First Avenue for September 29th. We’ve always known they were a special band, especially after seeing them for the first time in 2014 and wrote, “It's feel-good singalong folk rock, think Mumford & Sons, and you get the idea. Many of their songs got their most dedicated fans to help sing along, especially on "Back's Against the Wall", where Akers stopped a second to hear his fans finish the lyrics... with the biggest grin on his face.”

Judah & The Lion’s Going To Mars is out now.

Irish indie rockers The Academic will open the show. After this US tour, the Choice Music Prize nominee band will be returning to the UK to play some of their biggest headlining gigs this November.
