Bass prodigy and burgeoning pop icon Blu DeTiger will kick off an extensive North American headline tour on November 3 at Royale in Boston. The tour will stop by the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis on November 9.

Last month, Capitol Records released “Crash Course,” Blu’s collaboration with Biig Piig. Consequence of Sound said, “The appropriately-named ‘Crash Course’ moves at an electrifyingly quick pace, complete with DeTiger’s usual funk bass and some delightful auxiliary percussion. It’s refreshing to hear both artists turn the tempo notch high while retaining their respectively cool styles, always effortless and wonderfully stylish.”

Tiffany Day to open.

Ty Segall is back… this time in a special intimate acoustic solo tour. Segall was in Minneapolis, playing the much bigger venue First Avenue, with his full band, Ty Segall & Freedom Band on July 2022.

Ty Segall (09 Mar 2016)

We saw Ty Segall & The Muggers in Mar 2016, and wrote, “The ever-prolific Ty Segall is back with his latest creation: Ty Segall & the Muggers. With his eighth studio Emotional Mugger, album via Drag City Records, we see Ty Segall at his most experimental and more focused on setting a certain style and theme with the new album.”

Segall’s new album Hello,Hi is out now.

Emmett Kelly proves that you can’t judge a book by its jangle-pop cover. Who knew that this skinny fellow with a mop-top haircut had chops that could put Yngwie Malmsteen to shame? Last night at the Turf Club, Kelly and his band The Cairo Gang played an hour of blissed-out songs before he jumped ship with drummer Marc Riordan and joined headliner Mikal Cronin’s band for a set that definitely thrilled and melted a few faces, too.

The Cairo Gang took to the stage single-file and instantly stirred the folk-rock kettle, highlighting tracks from the band’s newest album Goes Missing (Drag City). Kelly, equipped with a sweet Rickenbacker 360, was assisted by Riordan (who was probably the night’s VIP) bassist Ryan Weinstein, and new member, guitarist Jeff Harms. The band said little, but there was plenty of grinning going on. With all the warmth and color pumping out of that Rickenbacker you would really have to fight to keep a scowl on your face. Though the Cairo Gang’s catalogue reference a vintage 60s sound, there were plenty of tunes that had faster, punchier tempos and one that would have fit in on a Psychedelic Furs album (the song that Harms wrote). And maybe I’m crazy, but I swear they did a cover of the Descendants’ “She Don’t Care.” Did I hear that right? Did that actually happen?

Also I’d like to note that Kelly is wise to put a percussive giant like Riordan behind the kits. A lesser drummer would have gotten swallowed up by the kaleidoscopic melodies, but Riordan pounded through and anchored the songs with each powerful strike. He provided a solid structure for the guitars to play on.

Although Mikal Cronin has worked with the king of noisy psychedelia, Ty Segall, Cronin’s own solo output has been more of a teenage dream than teenage wasteland. Cronin’s songs are energetic and unabashedly jubilant; they sprout legs and jump around and cast quite a spell. From the moment the first song, “Turn Around,” the opening number from the recently dropped MCIII (Merge Records), came crashing out of the amps, fans were dancing all over the place and shouting their adoration. Cronin has an excellent live band (Casey Hanson on keyboards and Mike Anderson on bass) that was made even better with the addition of Riordan and Kelly, the latter really blowing my mind with a guitar prowess I can only describe as “wicked.” While Cronin wailed passionately into the mic and the band doled out exciting and dynamic surf-rock, Kelly slid and pounded his fingers along the guitar strings like he was in a speed metal band. Midway through one tune, Kelly dropped his guitar pick and in one fluid motion he fell to his knees, recovered the pick and was back to drilling out some insane solo.

Mikal Cronin is a must-see performer with serious talent and with the release of MCIII he’s being rightfully showered with accolades (you should go out the band’s May performance over at KEXP). But honestly, I walked away from the gig thinking I can’t wait to watch Emmett Kelly shred again!

Show up early to check out Rey Pila, in support for their sophomore album The Future Sugar (arriving September 25th on Cult Records). If the name 'Cult Records' sounds familiar, this is Juliana Casablancas (The Strokes) record label - and so it should be no surprise that he and Chris Coady (Beach House/Yeah Yeah Yeahs) produced the upcoming album.

At the heart of Chicago’s The Cairo Gang is singer/songwriter Emmett Kelly, a crafter of jangly, electric folk-rock reminiscent of the Byrds. Kelly is probably best known as a friend and collaborator of Will Oldham, playing guitar and singing on several Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy recordings (notably 2006’s The Letting Go and their joint effort 2010’s The Wonder Show of the World). He has also worked and toured with Joan of Arc, Beth Orton and Angel Olsen. After debuting with 2006’s The Cairo Gang and recording a handful of EPs and guest spots, Kelly released two very well-received full-length albums: Corner Man in 2012 and then Tiny Rebels in 2013, both on Empty Cellar records. The latter record was cut in a week in a flurry of hot inspiration and features gorgeous layered vocals and reverb-laden melodies.

The Cairo Gang will be supporting Mikal Cronin whose effervescent garage-rock has put him at the top of a lot of critics lists in the last few years. In May, Cronin released MCIII, his first for Merge Records.

Let’s enjoy the last few days of summer with a little fuzz guitar: The Cairo Gang and Mikal Cronin play at the Turf Club on September 10th.
