Cloud Cult
with David Huckfelt
at Palace Theatre

Minnesota’s own Cloud Cult will be doing a two-night residency at the Palace Theatre on September 27 and September 28. The band’s new album, Alchemy Creek, is out now.

Cloud Cult at First Avenue (28 April 2013)

We saw Cloud Cult in April 2013 and said, “From what I've experience, the songs sounded great live, particularly when you can hear the violin and cello's sweeping sound. The other songs seem like they were written for a large crowd, you know, designed for singalongs/shoutalongs fun times. Unlike most bands, Cloud Cult have two dedicated painters. You can watch their work progress as the show goes on. The two painters does occasionally do backup vocals or help out with drumming or tambourine, so they are as much a part of the show as any of the musicians on stage.”

The Decemberists
with Ratboys
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Portland’s beloved The Decemberists is returning with a new album As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again, available June 14th via YABB Records (Thirty Tigers). I’m assuming we can hear a preview of the upcoming album at the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on May 19th, 2024. The show is sold out.

Certainly we are going to hear their new single, “All I Want Is You”, a true love song, as singer Colin Meloy explains, “An unapologetic, wear-it-on-its-sleeve love song. I don’t write a ton of those, at least not in this vein. The song grew out of the finger picking pattern — “Don’t want pretty poses…” — and I just followed that lead. In the end, it just kind of wrote itself. It’s so bare bones, it lived for a long time in my songwriting notebook, kind of in hiding, before I got up the courage to put it out there. It shares a title and hook with many songs that have come before it, but I like to think I’m merely adding my own take to that tradition.”

Decemberists (24 Mar 2015)

We last saw the band in Mar 2015 and wrote, “The encore was first teased with the ready for springtime song, ‘June Hymn’, then was a direct hit to the gullet, with their other folky mega-epic, the bouncy ‘The Mariner’s Revenge Song’ which stretched some twenty minutes. People were prompted to scream at a certain part ¾ of the way into the song, and the reaction was not unwarranted as a large cut-out profile of a whale ambled on stage to slowly eat each of the band members in a row, to the crowd’s shrieking delight.”

Minnesota’s favorite Johnny Cash tribute band Church of Cash is playing a two-night show at the Le Musique Room in St. Michael, Minnesota, on May 19 (at 3pm) and May 20 (at 1pm).

We are actually very interested in checking out this venue, as it’s a converted cinema megaplex.

According to the venue’s website, “The St. Michael Cinema megaplex in St. Michael, Minnesota, has become the area's latest live music venue, thanks to some ingenious thinking on the part of the new owners. Le Musique Room at the St. Michael Cinema (French for The Music Room) -- was originally built as one of the 15 theaters inside the 96,000 sq. foot movie house that now features 13 state-of-the-art movie screens. The new showcase destination is built into theater 15 of the megaplex located at 4300 O'Day Avenue NE, St. Michael, Minnesota. Music fans can expect incredible sound, lighting and video accouterments in the 199-seat theater and concert space, complete with Parisian design elements that highlight the entire complex.

We last saw VF in Oct 2017 and wrote, “It basically boils down to the fact that fans probably haven’t seen VF for 16 years. That’s a long time, but, based on hearing almost every song sung back, word for word, these same fans clearly haven’t forgotten about the Violent Femmes.
