Foxing is touring in support of a new self-titled LP, due for September 13, via Grand Paradise label.

Foxing at Triple Rock (04 March 2016)

We’ve seen Foxing in March 2016, and said, “St Louis’ Foxing (singer Conor Murphy, bassist Josh Coll, guitarist Ricky Sampson, guitarist Eric Hudson, violinist Emma Tiemann, and drummer Jon Hellwig) took the stage at 7:30pm with their personal stage lighting from the ground floor. As you can see from their setlist, “Weave” was cross-off in favor of playing “Redwoods” live. The set is a pretty good mix of their two released albums The Albatross and Dealer.”

Downtempo electronic pioneers Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza and Eric Hilton) is returning to Minneapolis on September 26, 2024.

Thievery Corporation: Radio Retaliation

We are big fans of the band, reviewing their record Radio Retaliation, in Sep 2008, we said, “So, if you're not already a fan of Thievery Corporation, you will be shortly after checking out their style of music. They have a vast knowledge of all world music (Indian, French, Brazilian, etc), and they have good ears to pick out the best ones to sample and remix.”

93X’s much-anticipated “Family Reunion” makes its return to the Xcel Energy Center on September 26, 2024. The show will feature headliner Godsmack.

“We can't wait to get The Brotherhood and Sisterhood back together at Xcel Energy Center for the 93X Family Reunion,” adds Derek Madden, VP of Mainstream Rock Formats and 93X Program Director. “I'm really excited for this one. We've put together an outstanding lineup, with legacy acts who have rocked for decades, rising acts making their best music, and even a surprise guest to be announced later this summer. It's going to be an incredible night and we’re looking forward to getting together with thousands of our favorite listeners.”

Show up early to see Chevelle, Wage War, Nothing More and Sleep Theory.

Wage War at Amsterdam Bar (15 March 2016)

We previously saw Wage War in Mar 2016 and said, “The crowd was full of energy for majority of the night. I loved watching them while Wage War played. Wage War is a band that I saw back in December when they opened for Every Time I Die. They were amazing that night but, sadly, did not get the attention from the crowd that they deserved. I honestly don't know if majority of the crowd back in December even noticed there was a band on stage. It was great to see the crowd giving them all of the attention they deserved. Kids were singing along and moshing and dancing. It was wild to see how quickly Wage War had gained all of these followers and they are more than deserving of it. People think it's stupid that I will go see the same band a bunch of times but this is a perfect example as to why I do that. The amount of satisfaction I have in seeing such a deserving band finally make it "big" with my friends is one of the best feelings on the planet.”

Jonah Marais, formerly from Why Don’t We is headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on September 26, 2024.

Marais describes his first album:

Hey, I’m Jonah! Thank you for being here. This is my first music release and tour since being in my band Why Don’t We.

This music covers a massive transition in my life, and is my first independent release on my own label called Young & Optimistic. I got to work with friends, and really just tap into my creativity and make music that I’d wanna listen to, but I also really made this with you guys in mind. I’ve been through some of the hardest mental health seasons of my life in the last couple years, but knowing you guys are out there got me through. This is about all of us creating this next chapter together. Excited to perform this music live and see you on the road! ♥️

Chicago rock band Horsegirl recently released their debut album Versions of Modern Performance, available now on Matador Records.

The all-girls trio, featuring singer/guitarist Penelope Lowenstein, guitarist/singer Nora Cheng, and drummer Gigi Reece, is currently touring in support of the debut album.

We caught the band early in post-pandemic concerts on July 8, 2021, and wrote, “So, the funny thing is that this was an 18+ show, meaning that members of Chicago’s Horsegirl could not legally attend the show on their own. However, as performers, it’s perfectly fine. This was Horsegirl’s first tour, but you wouldn’t know, seeing as how seasoned they seem on stage. We’ve seen old, established bands screwing up and goofing around, so it was nice to see such a young band taking their shows seriously.”

The set is a pretty good mix of their two released albums The Albatross and Dealer.

Foxing’s first-ever headlining tour is starting off really well, judging by the terrific turnout for this very early (4:30pm) all-ages show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis. According to the bands on stage, this was their third night of the Foxing tour and they loved it so far. Perhaps it might be a different story at the end of the tour, but for now, everyone loved it.

The lineup is interesting: instrumental, post-modern rock, alt-rock, emo, etc... There’s a little something for everyone.

Adjy

The evening (well, more like late afternoon) started off with North Carolina’s Adjy. The band is centered around singer (and composer) Christoper Noyes, who sang songs from their forthcoming LP. You can currently check out a “Prelude” via his latest release Another Flammarion Woodcut (Broken Circle Records).

Tancred

According to Tancred (Jess Abbott), this was the first time she’s playing in a full band. She said that the last time she was in town (with Into It. Over It. in 2014) she played her songs by herself and it was awkward and uncomfortable.

The band actually started a little later than advertised, but given the fact that it took them about 20 minutes to get going (including a mini-soundcheck), it was still pretty impressive.

A little backstory on Jess Abbott, who mentioned on stage that she lived in Minneapolis for five years and does not miss the snow/cold (she currently resides in California). In fact, she’s downright disappointed that it was so cold (and snowing) on the night that she was back in town. Her connection to Minneapolis is that she is the guitarist for Now, Now (fka Now, Now Every Children). We’ve seen the band on and off from 2010 to 2013 and mentioned Jess almost every time!

Anyway, Tancred is Abbott’s solo project, and we liked what we heard live. She sounded a little like Veruca Salt and Paramore ... and it probably helped that her forthcoming Polyvinyl album Out of the Garden was produced by Steven McDonald (Redd Kross) and Anna Waronker (That Dog).

Since the record isn’t out yet, I had trouble figuring out the setlist, but, for sure, midway into her set she played the single “Bed Case” (from her white limited 7”).

Lymbyc Systym

Lymbyc Systym took absolutely no time in starting their set. After all, it’s just two brothers (Jared and Michael Bell) on drums and keys. The instrumental band was probably the most interesting choice on the bill. They sounded nothing like any of the other bands, and the audience wasn’t quite sure what to make of them... but pretty soon, would embrace the duo by shouting out “You guys rock!” and bopping their heads in approval.

The only song I could identify was the title track “Split Stones”, taken from their latest Split Stones.

Setlist

St Louis’ Foxing (singer Conor Murphy, bassist Josh Coll, guitarist Ricky Sampson, guitarist Eric Hudson, violinist Emma Tiemann, and drummer Jon Hellwig) took the stage at 7:30pm with their personal stage lighting from the ground floor.

As you can see from their setlist, “Weave” was cross-off in favor of playing “Redwoods” live. The set is a pretty good mix of their two released albums The Albatross and Dealer.

While some people described the band as emo, they also have their chamer/folksy-side to them, that is whenever touring member Emma Tiemann would play violin or when singer Conor Murphy would take out his trumpet.

Based on the strong local youth support for this band, we’re pretty sure that they’ll be doing more headlining shows... it’s simply incredible that this is the first tour that they are playing last.

The band is back in town, this time under the “Ones to Watch Tour” (Skype and Live Nation sponsored), with Milwaukee’s Vinyl Theatre, who we randomly caught in March 2015. This upcoming show should be a great show, especially if you’ve randomly seen both bands before.
