John Oates
at Dakota Jazz Club
dakotacooks.com

The legendary John Oates is making a stop by the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis this November 6th. Oates, the other half of Hall & Oates fame, will be playing an early and late show.

Oates co-wrote some of your favorite songs, including “Out of Touch”, “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)”, and “Maneater” (which surprisingly made an appearance in the recent Jennifer Lawrence film No Hard Feelings).

Although Oates is under no obligation to play those hits, I’m sure he’ll tell stories about how those songs came to be.

Those stories can also be read in Oates’ memoir Change of Seasons, which was published on March 28, 2017 by St. Martin’s Press.

As usual with these Dakota Jazz Club shows, show up early and grab some food before the event. The show will start on time, so don’t be late.

Tour dates:

Nov 4 Indianapolis, IN, US Tobias Theatre
Nov 6 Minneapolis, MN, US Dakota

It’s been 20 years since Ben Kweller’s cult-classic album, Sha Sha, took the indie world by storm. Well, Kweller is celebrating with a tour and a re-release of the album as a new anniversary edition entitled, Sha Sha Deluxe. The Sha Sha tour will stop by Minneapolis at the Fine Line on November 10th.

The Sha Sha Deluxe album has been remastered, with demos, B-sides, live recordings, and other rarities. Some of these tracks have never before released to the public. One of those unearthed rarities is “I Have the Power,” which is streaming now at all DSPs. The song was recorded by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Lemonheads) back in 2001 when Kweller was coming up in NYC with The Strokes and Moldy Peaches.

Sha Sha Deluxe is available on Triple-LP, Triple-CD, and USB Toothbrush. Yes, a red toothbrush USB stick.

Update: Backed by his band, including actor/musician Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and special guests, Kweller will be performing tunes from Sha Sha and the rest of his extensive catalog at the anniversary shows.

When Brooklyn-based dance rock band We Are Scientists are back on tour… in support of their new album Lobes.

“Finally — FINALLY — we get to tour the United States again,” exclaims guitarist/vocalist Keith Murray. “It’s been too long, and we’ve been aching for it.”

We Are Scientists (08 May 2019)

We saw the band in May 2019 and noted, “Next up was New York, by the way of Berkeley, We Are Scientists. The duo features Keith Murray on lead vocals and guitars and Chris Cain on bass and backing vocals, but for the live shows, they’ve added Keith Carne on drums. I’ve told this story before, but I first discovered the band in 2006, when the band had a massive breakthrough success with their debut With Love and Squalor. Just simply listening to the album for the first time, we were all singing along - that’s to show you how catchy their songs are.”

Update: Sean McVerry to open.

New York duo Phantogram (Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel) is back with their summer headlining tour. We’ve always liked these guys, and fairly excited about their new song “Mister Impossible”, which was a song that they’ve had an idea of it for a long time. After building their studio called Harmony West in Laurel Canyon, they put together the song in their own space. The song finalized last spring when they took it to Joshua Tree.

The annual Minnesota State Fair is back, this year running August 22 to Labor Day, September 2nd. I won’t be listing every bands set to attend, but the major ones. Please note in addition to the concert ticket, you’ll also need to spend an entry fee into the fair.

We don’t go every year, as it’s very expensive to attend. On top of the entry fee, the fried foods are marked up - so for a family of four, you’re looking to drop over $150 easily. Personally speaking, I rather take that money and go to smaller concerts or buy yourself some CDs or DVDs.

The last time we went was on Labor Day in Sep 2017, because we had the day off work.

In a night of duo duos, Hall & Oates gave us an Adult Education to their brand of rock and soul, while ‘80s pair Tears for Fears gave their own blend of musical Advice for the Young at Heart in a hit-filled evening that brought some 14,000 to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. 

The four-hour evening began with an unfortunately too short acoustic set from hippie-soul artist Allen Stone, in support of 2016’s Radius (ATO Records) and whose song ‘Perfect World’ was recently used to promote the new Dear White People series on Netflix.  Washington state native Stone got to know Daryl Hall when he appeared on the Live from Daryl’s House TV show and ended up on Hall’s tour of the same name a few years ago. 

His four-song set actually started ten minutes early, catching some early concert goers somewhat by surprise, Stone in patched jacket with flowers wrapped around his mic stands, singing his own ‘Upside’ as well as the Burt Bacharach/Hal David-penned classic, ‘I Say a Little Prayer’.  Serving as just a taste of his music, Stone is worth seeking out when he plays full sets at smaller clubs again. 

After a short break, lights dimmed as an introductory video montage hit the overhead screens, with Lorde’s goth-y, slowed version of ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ as its soundtrack.  This segued into Tears for Fears entering and playing the same song themselves, starting their seventy-minute set with perhaps their biggest hit. 

The Bath, UK natives, now both in their mid-fifties, returned to the area for the first time in over a decade, following the opening number with ‘Secret World’, a Beatles-esque gem (even working in a verse of McCartney’s ‘Let ‘Em In’) from their last studio release, 2004’s Everybody Loves a Happy Ending (New Door/Gut Records), with 1990’s ‘Sowing the Seeds of Love’ next and keeping the hits and momentum moving. 

Before ‘Change’, Curt Smith recalled being in an area coffee shop in the morning, encountering a barista who was beyond excited for the show that evening.  “They suck!” Smith cried out to her in jest, the shop worker not recognizing who he actually was. “We’ll attempt not to suck”, he promised the crowd, and apologizing to the unknown woman in the crowd. 

After a third song from 1983’s The Hurting, Orzabal took the lead for a faithful cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, then going back to the first album again for ‘Pale Shelter’, with actual drumming subbing in for the recorded version’s drum machines. 

Perhaps because of the shortened set, ‘Head Over Heels’ was performed without the ‘Broken’ intro/outro (almost unforgivable) but the standing, cheering crowd didn’t seem to mind, the band then leaving the stage until being called back out for a single song encore of ‘Shout’.  With a promised new album due later in the year, we’ll hope to see the band again, with a longer set and more time to play.

2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Daryl Hall and John Oates next took to the stage, as St. Paul became Philadelphia for their headlining set, clocked just shy of two-hours.  Though the pair hasn’t released an album in more than a decade, they have been busy separately as well as touring together sporadically. 

John Oates has a successful solo career, having played the Dakota locally, and recently authored a memoir, Change of Seasons, released in March.  Daryl Hall has released a handful of solo albums as well, probably now best known for his Live from Daryl’s House program, airing since 2007. 

The Daryl’s House band, large and well-rehearsed from all the TV sessions, was the duo’s backing band also included longtime sax player Charles DeChant (in shimmering suit and long white hair) who often stole the show during his solos. The music all night leaned towards slightly looser improvisations of the classic songs, often with extended jams, perhaps partially the result of Hall and band playing on the show with so many diverse and different musicians.

1984’s Big Bam Boom was the album most featured, including on their opening ‘Adult Education’  and deep cut ‘Possession Obsession’, but most other musical eras were represented as well.  “It’s really good to see you…. our blood is up!” Hall remarked, mentioning they were only a couple dates into the tour. DeChant’s signature sax anchored ‘Maneater’ and the band even included their rock and soul version of a classic Righteous Brothers song.

After a crisp ‘She’s Gone’, even more soulful than when done in 1973, Hall took to his new grand piano for a handful of songs, starting with 1976’s ‘Sara Smile’.  1979’s ‘Wait for Me’ and 1974’s ‘Is It a Star’ (from the War Babies album, “a bit of a departure from many things… music mostly”, Hall joked), an Oates-led song, pleased especially the longtime fans. 

The signature bassline of ‘I Can’t Go for That’ got people on their feet, the song stretched out and expanded to add even more soul, and main set closer, ‘You Make My Dreams’ made a lot of people’s dreams come true, to see the song performed live.

The full band was properly introduced before the three-song encore- 1977’s ‘Rich Girl’ flowing smoothly into 1980’s ‘Kiss on My List’, then the band ending the evening with the Grammy-winning ‘Private Eyes’ from 1981 (no trench coats or magnifying glasses like in the video though) with the crowd clapping along on cue, at the chorus.

A seemingly very different pairing seemed to work well in the end as Hall and Oates and Tears for Fears (along with Allen Stone) provided an electric four hours of entertainment , a chance to re-visit the past, and a discovery that the music the duo duos first played some thirty-five+ years ago, still resonates with their many fans today.

News: Hall & Oates Announce Summer 2016 Tour

Read More Hall & Oates So, with the 22nd episode of Live from Daryl's House, Daryl Hall (you know of Hall & Oates) teams up with Smokey Robinson to play a nine-song set. Some of the song listed will be “Sara Smile,” … Sharon Jones Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings latest album is Give The People What They Want, so expect to hear a few numbers from that new album. … Trombone Shorty Mardi Gras will continue at the Minnesota Zoo later this week as Trombone Shorty comes to town for an undoubtedly spirited show. Releasing his Grammy-nominated debut album, Backatown…

You know we absolutely love Hall & Oates, so I was fooled into clicking a news link on Facebook about “Hall and Oates got into a bloody confrontation that ended with Hall getting bit in the face and Oates landing in jail, according to police.”

The story is actually quite old (2012), but according to ABC News, Roger Oates bit Scott Hall above the eye... and the ending joke was that he was truly a “ManEater”.

Thankfully, it has nothing to do with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Daryl Hall and John Oates, who recently just announced their summer amphitheater tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour featuring Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, will kick off on Friday, May 13.

We’re also big fans of Sharon Jones and Trombone Shorty, so this will make for an excellent billing... only if you live in Minneapolis, you may have to do a bit of driving to Chicago.

05/13/16 Dallas, TX Gexa Energy Pavilion

Due to last year's Alberta flooding, the Sled Island Music Festival was forced to cancel two of its four day programming. Instead of getting refunds, most pass holders opted to re-invest their ticket towards this year's festival. So, it's happening: this year festival will be taking place June 18-22.

Organizers have announced that the upcoming festival will feature guest curator, Kathleen Hanna! We love her, so it should be interesting to see who she invites.

It's still early days, so no official lineup has been announced. You can buy passes blind (and save money):

$179 Discovery Pass - access to all Sled Island events (250+ bands, art, film, comedy), subject to capacity.
$299 Discovery Plus Pass - all the benefits of the Discovery Pass as well as priority access to all Sled Island events (skip to the front of lines!), Artist Lounge privileges, a Sled Island delegate bag and more!

All-Ages Passes are also on sale for $50, granting you access to all-ages venues including Olympic Plaza, Tubby Dog and many more.

Single day tickets for presale is $84 a ticket, a three-day ticket is $150 and VIP is $475 (sold out).
