Nashville based acclaimed singer-songwriter Savannah Conley is currently on tour.

She recently released her single, “Always Gonna Happen” on Good Partners/Virgin Music.

Talking about the single, Conley said, “There was a moment when I realized that this is the first time in my life where things have actually happened to me. My co-writer and I looked at each other and talked about the sh** that has happened that we haven’t even talked about before. When you figure out the world isn’t what you thought it was, it makes you question a lot. “Always Gonna Happen” plays into that; it’s about trusting my instincts to get away from situations and people to move forward in life.”

Horsegirl

Chicago’s Horsegirl (Penelope Lowenstein, Nora Cheng, and Gigi Reece) recently announced their first-ever tour. The noise trio signed with Matador Records and sold out their Ballroom Dance Scene 7” debut. …

Catbath

Next up was Catbath, evolving to a four piece (Travis Franklin, Crystal Stockert, Kristin Kosieracki, and Matthew Grave) from their original duo-turned-trio. They’ve only recently added a second guitarist (“Gravey”) to their roster in 2016. …

Harlow

Horsegirl 7th St Entry with Catbath and Harlow Doors Open 7PM Show Starts 8PM Ages 18+ Advance $12 Day of Show $15 …

It’s our first live show since Wire at the Fine Line Music Cafe in March 2020… right before the pandemic shut down all live shows. So it’s been well over a year, and we were anxious and nervous to see Horsegirl at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last night.

Before you ask, masks were not required. We brought masks just in case, but looking around, no one (except for some First Avenue staffs) were wearing face coverings.

7th Street Entry now has a metal detector right at the door. This might be a permanent fixture… so going forward, it may take much longer to get inside the venue due to false positives or random issues.

The stage and room is exactly as we last saw it. If you’ve ever attended a show here, it’s one of the most intimate venue in town… and it’s a great place to see a band, big or small.

Starting off this Radio K sponsored show, was local band Harlow. The five-piece is really new, only releasing their single “Yesterday Is Gone” in July 2021… which the band happily played near the end of their set.

Other songs on their set included, “Too Many Sides (of the Same Coin)” and a song about something like “Rainbow Trout” (a “fake country song”).

Next up was Catbath. We’ve seen the Minneapolis group four times, including with The Coathangers in Sep 2015, and have described them as, “it’s like Kurt Cobain fronting X covering the B-52s.”

We also mentioned that they used to be a duo (Travis Franklin and Crystal Stockert), then trio (added Kristin Kosieracki), and eventually a quartet (added Matthew ‘Gravey’ Graves). Their latest evolution is that they’ve enlisted Danielle Cusack to replace Kristin. If you’re at all a fan of Bruised Violet or Tony Peachka, you know who Danielle is.

Since the pandemic hit, the band spent the year writing and ended up recording over 15 new songs at the end of 2020… so they were eager to show off the new songs, such as “Bork Bork”, in their set.

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.

Since the trio (Penelope Lowenstein, Nora Cheng, and Gigi Reece) is practically brand new, they basically played every songs they’ve ever recorded, including “Ballroom Dance Scene” and “Forecast”. Between each song, they would created these interlude jams/noise, as the stage lights turn blood red, probably inspired from being in a Sonic Youth cover band.

Some of the new songs heard was “Emma”… described as “a love song”. In a past interviews, they’ve mentioned they wouldn’t write about love or personal heartbreak, so it was a rare thing to see them write a love song.

It should be interesting to see where the band lands as the trio continues to grow and attend college later this year. We’re also curious to see a debut album with their recent signing with Matador Records.
