Cayucas: Sayulita
|
If you are going to be attending this
Echo & the Bunnymen show at the Fillmore, be sure to show up early to see Los Angeles duo
Cayucas (Zach and Ben Yudin).
We've been writing about the band since
2013 and saw the band in
July 2019: “Ben thanked the audience and knew the differences between St Paul and its rival, Minneapolis. The group also mentioned how much they enjoy St Paul, even though they confessed they played the 7th Street Entry (Minneapolis) a “bunch of times”.”
Cayucas's latest album
Blue Summer came out in 2020, but their newest single "Sayulita" came out last in August 2022.

Echo & the Bunnymen
My biggest complaint was the opening bicycling riding sequence which dropped the original "The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen, in favor of INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart" song.

at Fillmore

Liverpool’s
Echo & the Bunnymen will be sailing the “Seven Seas” in 2022.
I came late to the party for Echo & the Bunnymen, as I didn’t discover the band until singer
Ian McCulloch went solo in the late 80s (I still have his CDs). Of course, after hearing Echo & the Bunnymen’s single, “The Killing Moon”, you knew why the band was special.
Funny enough, years later, the cult film
Donnie Darko made me love the band again.
Update: Just announced
Cayucas to open.

French indie pop band
Phoenix will be headlining the Palace Theatre this Sep 6th. The band is best known for their hit singles, “If I Ever Feel Better” and “Lisztomania”, as well as “Too Young”.
Porches to open. We last saw Porches in
Feb 2018 and noted, “
It’s been two years since we’ve seen Porches (in September 2016 and April 2016), and I can tell you that the band has really tightened up their performance and stage presence... thanks to the fact that band leader Aaron Maine kept mostly the same live band, including Cameron Wisch, Seiya Jewell, Dan English, and Maya Laner. Maine played it cool, but you can tell that he was pretty happy about the sold out show. Minneapolis is still “the best”, even with the snow storm taking place outside.”

The Joy Formidable
with Tres Leches
at Turf Club

You all know our love for
The Joy Formidable since we wrote about them in
July 2008: “Here's a band that I see a lot of potential in, The Joy Formidable.”
We’ve since seen the band multiple times, the last being in
Nov 2018, where we noted, “After a two year-absent, the band returned to the Twin Cities, headlining and selling out the Turf Club in St Paul on Friday night. It was nice to see the band at a small “pub gig” again. Bassist Rhydian Dafydd and singer “Ritzy” seemed really loose and making faces as they launched into “This Ladder Is Ours”. Even the drummer would occasionally rise from his seat to whip the audience into a deserving frenzy. Seeing the band this animated vs their button-down-proper gig in 2016, was a much better experience.”
The band is currently on tour in support of their new album
Into the Blue.

The Afghan Whigs
Surely, you remember the high-drama swagger of the Afghan Whigs, the 90s rock act reuniting after eleven years, who invoked both hard rock and soul into their moody arrangements.…

The Afghan Whigs are on tour in support of their upcoming album
How Do You Burn? (set for release on September 9, 2022 via Royal Cream/BMG). The North American tour will start at the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Sept 9th, the day the record drops.
We last saw them in at First Avenue in
Sep 2017 and said, “No warnings were given as to the sheer volume level the band played at for their ninety-minute set, though most fans knew better and came prepared. An empty space was to singer Greg Dulli’s left, the one usually filled by guitarist Dave Rosser, who lost his cancer battle in June.”
