Make Them Suffer at Granada Theater (23 May 2024)

We saw Make Them Suffer in May 2024 and noted, “Something hardcore must be in the water from Australia, because next up was Perth metalcore band Make Them Suffer, formed back in 2008 and out in support of recent singles, “Ghost of Me” and “Epitaph”, ahead of an expected new album. It will be their first for SharpTone Records since signing with them last year, and a follow-up to 2020’s “How to Survive a Funeral” which was nominated for a down under Indie Music Award.”

English folk-punks Skinny Lister have just announced a number of U.S. festival, headline and support dates in the U.S. during March. Kicking off on March 11 in Austin, TX at the SXSW Music and Arts Festival… however before the festivals, they will be doing a side-gig at the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on February 20th, 2025.

Skinny Lister at VooDoo Lounge (10 Mar 2023)

We saw Skinny Lister in Mar 2023 and noted, “The three-act evening would kick off with a spirited, foot-stomping set from London folk punkers, Skinny Lister, in support of their latest album, 2021’s A Matter of Life & Love. Despite their bus breaking down the night before, the band was manic from the opening chords of 2016’s “Wanted” and kept their energy high throughout their short but impressionable set. Co-vocalists Dan Heptinstall and Lorna Thomas and stand-up bassist Scott Milsom kept constantly in motion, with Thomas even announcing she’d arm-wrestle anyone at the merch table as the band broke into the new “Arm Wrestling in Dresden”. From there, north to “Hamburg Drunk” (the band must really have fun in Germany), then back to their native London for 2014’s closing “Trouble on Oxford Street” and a rowdy fun set.”

David Shaw, the acclaimed singer-songwriter and frontman for The Revivalists will be headlining the Varsity Theater, in Minneapolis, on February 21, 2025.

The Revivalists at Starlight Theatre (30 June 2023)

We saw The Revivalists in June 2023 and wrote, “As can sometimes be the nature of co-headlining tours, the two bands had just met for the first time, at their pre-show dinner, but seemed already musically sympatico and prepared for the numerous cities that lie ahead. New Orleans favorites The Revivalists also had a seventy-five-minute set (plus additional encore time) to win over the crowd, in support of their latest album, Pour It Out Into the Night which was just released on June 2nd via Concord Records.”

Angel White to open.

Dragonette

I saw this trio Dragonette last year and was rather impressed with this Canadian female-fronted electro-pop band. It would seem that the Juno-award-winning band is co-headlining a tour .…

DRAGONETTE
at 7th Street Entry
Monday, 12/05/16, 7pm ($15)
first-avenue.com

We’ve seen the Canadian band Dragonette a couple of times and can tell you that they are a really fun dance electropop trio. At the height of their popularity when they released Bodyparts, they were performing on Good Morning America and collaborated with such acts like Kaskade, Galantis, Big Data, Martin Solveig, etc.

Now the trio is back with their fourth studio album Royal Blues.

New York’s Gibbz (aka Mike Gibney and was last seen in Minneapolis on February 2016) will open the show. He has an upcoming EP called Oh My God, due out on December 16th. This may be a great way of checking him out before he tackle his first headlining tour in 2017.

P.S., My favorite all-time Dragonette song is called ‘Hello’, which is actually a collaboration with French DJ Martin Solveig.

Tour dates:

12/2: Salt Lake City, UT @ Metro Bar ^
12/3: Denver, CO @ Bluebird Theater ^
12/5: Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry ^
