Swedish band First Aid Kit is ending their Palomino tour at the Palace Theatre in St Paul on July 23rd. The fifth studio album is out now on Columbia Records.

In speaking about Palomino, First Aid Kit says: “Here it is. Our fifth album Palomino. Straight from our hearts to yours. We are immensely proud of this record and we had such a joyous experience making it. To us, it symbolizes freedom and moving forward. Like the imagery of the Palomino riding off into the unknown, we hope these songs will give you inspiration and solace wherever they find you.”

Killer Mike is touring in support of his first solo album in 11 years. The album is simply titled Michael and comes out on Loma Vista Recordings / Concord Records.

Run the Jewels (23 Mar 2018)

We previously saw Killer Mike in his popular rap duo Run the Jewels in Mar 2018 and wrote, “The mood then completely turned harder and darker as hip-hop duo Run the Jewels took the stage for their forty-five minute set, beginning with the not-so-humble intro music of ‘We are the Champions’. “Shouts out to Kirby Puckett- we’re gonna burn this… place to the ground!” Killer Mike decreed, he and rapper/producer El-P stalked the stage as DJ Trackstar worked the ones and twos, beginning with their eponymously-named theme song.”

Trackstar the DJ to open.

Gogol Bordello
with Puzzled Panther

“Start wearing purple!”

If you’ve never seen Gogol Bordello live, do yourself a favor and see them. They are honestly, one of the best live acts we’ve ever seen.

Gogol Bordello (30 Oct 2017)

We caught them in Oct 2017 and wrote, “After 18 years as a touring band, it’s obvious that they’ve outgrown First Avenue’s mainroom, as every time they play at the venue, it sells out. If you really want to see the band, buy your ticket early, you’ll thank yourself later. The band is so great live, and, especially with the popular songs like ‘Start Wearing Purple’ and ‘Trans-Continental Hustle’, will have the audience often going crazy for songs (so watching the audience is also half the fun).”

Des Rocs
with Bastardane
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

NYC native Des Rocs is touring in support of his sophomore album Dream Machine, set for release on August 25 via Sumerian Records.

About Dream Machine, Rocco adds: “I grew up worshiping the enormous scale of rock n roll. I was obsessed with the awesome spectrum of people it could unite. Soon the guitar became my ultimate escape. When I played I could pour years of bottled-up feelings through my fingers and express myself in a way I never thought possible. I’d imagine myself on the stages of my heroes, and soon became singularly-focused on how I could one day stand on the shoulders of giants. I wanted to make an album that captured the same magic that changed my life. But it was important to push the genre. To filter larger-than-life emotions through the lens of my own experiences. Dream Machine is an album that embodies the dreams of that little kid standing in front of the TV watching Queen at Wembley. Dream Machine is a vessel.”

Update: Georgia's Bastardane to open.

CHASE ATLANTIC
at Fillmore
fillmoreminneapolis.com

Los Angeles-based, Australian-born trio Chase Atlantic is back on tour. The group recently reached out to Maggie Lindemann on TikTok, and they put together the new hit single “Ohmami”.

“Working with Maggie Lindemann was a pleasant surprise that transpired through social media; it was a new and exciting approach for us in terms of modern collaboration,” shares the band. “From the moment we started creating ‘OHMAMI’ we believed that a female vocal would complement the track significantly. Once we heard Maggie’s verse we were immediately taken back by her understanding of our sound and the way we create our music. To put it simply, Maggie completely understood the assignment. A+.”
