Trailblazing singer-songwriter and actress Betty Who is about to embark on her ‘Out Of The Darkness’ summer headline tour.

Who, talking to Variety, said, “I’m beyond excited to announce my 'Out of the Darkness' headline tour—and honestly, it feels SO good to be back on the road. This tour is all about unapologetic joy, real connections, and celebrating the highs after the lows. I’ve been working on new music and can’t wait to bring these new songs, alongside the go-to favorites, to life with you all.”

Betty Who at First Avenue (22 Mar 2023)

We’ve seen Who before in Mar 2023 and can tell you that her show is very entertaining: “As for pop star Betty Who… her set was really fun and colorful: Who in a red suit, with a dancer in yellow and a dancer in blue. These types of dance shows are really fun visually. Each song had well-choreographed dance routines, and every had smiles across their face… they were just having a good time. In the middle of the set, Who did an acoustic set with “Grown Ups Grow Apart” and “Wanna Be”, giving the two dancers a much-need break.”

Dean Wareham at Turf Club (19 Jun 2025) Read More Dean Wareham Having been following Dean Wareham's whereabouts for a while, the reunion last year wasn't at all a surprise to me. After all, we've seen hints of it when Sean Eden joined a Dean & Britta ...

Dean Wareham
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

Dean Wareham, the guy who is responsible for Luna, Galaxie 500, and Dean & Britta, has released a new solo album That’s The Price Of Loving Me (Carpark). The LP reunites Wareham with Kramer (Galaxie 500, Will Oldham, Low) as producer, marking their first collaboration in 34 years.

There’ll be a tour to support the new album, and it will stop by the Turf Club, in St Paul, on June 19, 2025.

Dean and Britta at First Ave (05 July 2013)

We are longtime fans and have seen Wareham in his various bands, like Luna in Nov 2017 and Dean & Britta in July 2013: “As for Dean & Britta, they were both in Luna, but for this tour, they are playing pre-Luna Dean Wareham's band Galaxie 500. With three albums (spanning between 1998-1990) to draw from, Dean & Britta had a lot of material to work with, including "Temperature's Rising", "When Will You Come Home", "Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste", "Fourth of July" (how fitting!), "Tugboat" and the encore "Ceremony". While the majority of their songs were sung by Wareham, there is one exception: Britta took over "Listen, The Snow Is Falling", which, apparently was originally written by Yoko Ono.”

Tour Dates:

June 2 – The Press Room -- Portsmouth, NH

June 3 – Space Ballroom -- Hamden, CT

June 4 – Bearsville Theater -- Woodstock, NY

June 5 – The Sinclair -- Cambridge, MA

Wavves is currently on tour for their forthcoming album You're Welcome. The record comes out tomorrow, May 19th.

We previously saw Wavves in 2013 and wrote, “After a brief intermission, fellow So Cal garage punk/pop cohorts Wavves blasted in with an equally relentless 52min set (no encore, apparently not ‘punk’ to do so). “Idiot” appropriately started their set, only to be hindered early on, by lack of a channel in singer Nathan Williams’ monitor speakers. "Bug," from 2011’s Life Sux EP followed by "Take on the World" next, before the band played its recent and maybe most accessible song to date, "Demon to Lean On”, from the new ‘Afraid of Heights’ which understandably got a noisy positive response, despite being so early into the set.”

Show up early to check out Kino Kimino (aka Kim Talon), from “the snowy wilds of Manitoba.” Kino Kimino’s debut record Bait Is For Sissies is out now.
