WILD NOTHING
at Triple Rock Social Club

Wild Nothing (aka Jack Tatum) will be making a stop at the Triple Rock Social Club on Monday, May 2nd in support of his third album, Life of Pause. This album was recorded with Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver) and packs a punch.

Tatum previously played in Jack and the Whale and FACEPOINT but has found his success with Wild Nothing (est. 2009). It's easy to tell why Wild Nothing received "Best New Music" from Pitchfork back in 2012 and ended up on many year-end lists. Come see for yourself!

Newcomers Whitney (not to be confused with the late Whitney Houston) to open. Whitney is lead by drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich, previously from Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

RONIIA / CROSS RECORDS
at 7th Street Entry
Monday, 05/02/16, 7:30pm ($8/$10)
first-avenue.com

Cross Record is not a record label, but the stagename for Emily Cross. She has just released her sophomore album Wabi-Sabi (Ba Da Bing Records) and currently touring with her husband and bandmate, Dan Duszynski, in support of the record. Although I believe this is her show, she’s actually not listed as the headliner.

Closing out the event will be local Roniia (stylized as RONiiA). This is the group lead by Nona Marie Invie, who you may know was from the popular Dark Dark Dark group.

Guest Maggie Morrison will open the show.
