The Joy Formidable
We've been talking about the Welsh band/London-based The Joy Formidable since 2008, and was thrilled about their EP A Balloon Called Moaning.

THE JOY FORMIDABLE
at First Avenue
Tuesday, 04/05/16, 7pm ($20)
first-avenue.com
We were pretty thrilled to get see
The Joy Formidable last year for $3 (as a promotional
gig for Red Bull’s Sound Select Series). Now that the new album
Hitch is out now, the Welsh trio will be headlining the much bigger venue First Avenue this Tuesday, April 5th.
We’re also pretty excited to see that Manchester’s
Everything Everything has been added to this US tour. We previously
mentioned them in 2013 and was blown away that they sold out their entire UK tour.
Everything Everything’s third album
Get To Heaven is out now on RCA Records.

The Contortionist
One of the opener, The Contortionist, is a band unlike many others. They are metal but they aren't metal. The type of metal these guys play is a kick to the face if you aren't ready for it. I was ready for it but my jaw still

By The Thousands
I saw my boys in By The Thousands play the First Avenue mainroom. This is the same venue I saw Social Distortion play. The same stage that I saw Sage Francis play on. And there were my boys.

THE CONTORTIONIST
with Monuments
at Cabooze
Tuesday, 04/05/16, 6pm ($15)
cabooze.com
Australian post-rock group
sleepmakeswaves will be making their first trek into the United States in support of their new album
Love of Cartography. This instrumental quartet is one of the most dynamic groups in the instrumental post-rock/prog scene right now and to have them come to the U.S. is a treat. They combine a little bit of everything. There's hints of beautiful piano arpeggios mixed with their signature screaming guitar lines.
The Contortionist and
Monuments are headlining this tour. For the Minnesota date, local favorites
By the Thousands and
Mithya will be opening the show. This is sure to be a night of all kinds of post-rock metal music from all over the world.
