The Drums
with Cold Heart
at Varsity Theater
livenation.com

Indie band The Drums will be headlining the Varsity Theater this August 9th, in support of their new album Jonny (ANTI- Records).

The Drums (29 Sep 2014)

We saw The Drums in Sep 2014, and said, “Opening with “Bell Laboratories” from the new album before busting out some oldies, bleach-blonde frontman Pierce said little, but emoted lots. In front of a four piece group of players that included longtime guitarist and founding member Jacob Graham and a giant patch bay synthesizer, Pierce cooed and wailed in a voice as fluid as the movements of his swaying body. Fans writhed with joy and echoed the choruses of favorites like “Money” and “Book of Stories” and raised their hands in approval of new songs like “I Can’t Pretend” and “Magic Mountain” (which sounds much better live than it does on the recording).”

Cold Heart to open.

The National is on tour in support of their ninth studio album, First Two Pages of Frankenstein (4AD Records).

The National (14 Sep 2023)

We saw the band on their first appearance post-COVID, in Sept 2022, and wrote, “The National then took the stage for a nineteen song set from eight albums spanning over a twenty-year career. We Heart Music last saw them headlining the Rock the Garden festival at the Walker Art Center in June of 2019. “It’s good to see you,” said lead singer, Matt Berninger, to the crowd. “It’s been a while.””

New Zealand’s The Beths will open. The group has a strong Minneapolis fanbase, thanks to local radio station The Current and labeled “one of the greatest indie-rock bands of their time” by Rolling Stone.

The Beths (20 Mar 2023)

We saw the group in March 2023, a rescheduled tour date, and noted, “The Beths opened up their set with “Future Me Hates Me” and then a crowd favorite: “You Wouldn’t like Me.” The band from Auckland, New Zealand was nice enough to return to the Twin Cities after their show was originally cancelled on February 22nd due to you guessed it: a massive snow storm.”

Fresh off a tour with the legendary Neil Young, Los Angeles’ Chris Pierce will be headlining shows on his own.

Pierce’s album Let All Who Will will be coming out September 1, 2023… in the meantime, you can preview the single “Meet Me at the Bottom” on all the music platforms.

Here’s what Chris has to say about the single: “We all have different circumstances that lead to struggle in life. If we can lay our fear and divisiveness down, we may find a venerable place at the bottom to rise together. The bottom can be a place of common ground and respect that each other’s struggles, hopes, and frustrations are as valid as our own.”
