If you were curious about how a Berlin-based orchestra collective ..… Lady Midnight …we have to say the highlight of his set was bringing on Lady Midnight to help him sing “Music Man”. Lady Midnight would outro the song to Lauryn Hill’s “Doo-Wop (That Thing)”. Dem Atlas then declared Lady Midnight as “the best artist in the Twin Cities!” ..… Lookbook Finally, I saw Lookbook a few weeks ago, and instantly made Andrew jealous. While Lara tells me that they used to be called Digitata (quote: "I LOVED Digitata"). I did look around, and it looks like Digitata are still around the twin town, Maggie sings in both band. ..…

CORY BRANAN
+ Trapper Schoepp
Aster Cafe
Sat 11/23/2019 (9pm/$15)
astercafe.com

Cory Branan will be stopping by the Aster Café, in support of ADIOS. We last saw Branan in Oct 2016 and said, “Opening up the show was Mississippi-born Cory Branan. It was just Branan and his acoustic guitar as he sang song about America like ‘Nightmare in America’ and ‘Tall Green Grass’ played early in his set. A couple of cover songs, like Richard Thompson’s ‘Beeswing’ were played, but personally speaking, Branan’s original songs are just as good, if not better. Songs like ‘The Freefall’, ‘I Ain't Gonna Go Back’ and ‘The Prettiest Waitress in Memphis’ told great little stories and gave us a glimpse of American life.”

Special guest Trapper Schoepp will open. We last saw Trapper Schoepp in May 2017 and wrote, “As a former resident of Green Bay, I was charmed to learn that Trapper Schoepp’s newest EP was written all about the city’s Bay Beach, an east-side amusement park nestled on the bay that happens to be celebrating 125 years of existence this year. Schoepp treated the Turf crowd to a performance of Bay Beach Amusement Park in its entirety with help from Shades bandmates Justin Krol on drums, Quinn Scharber on guitar, brother Tanner on bass/vocals and a 3-piece horn section lovingly called “The Horns”.”

Tour dates: 6/11 Nashville, TN @ The Basement East 6/12 Atlanta, GA @ Center Stage 6/14 New York, NY @ Irving Plaza ..…

Celebrating pride month, German-born, Los Angeles-based pop singer Kim Petras headlined the sold-out Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Friday night, June 21st. As soon as the doors opened, a massive crowd of young fans staked out the coveted front of the stage. The fanbase of mostly LGBTQ wasn’t a surprise, as Petras found herself as a pioneer when she became one of the youngest people to undergo a gender transition at the age of 16. This was a huge deal, because, at the time, in Germany, you had to be at least 18 to undergo this process.

Matthew Mazur or better known by his DJ stagename Mazurbate opened the show. Traditional opening band requires 20-30 minutes to change and setup for the next band, but since it’s just a DJ setup, Mazurbate decided to start (and end) his set late (starting at nearly 9pm rather than the original 8:45 announced time). Like I said, it didn’t matter, because Mazurbate’s setup hardly required much to add and remove from the main stage… and he was able to vamoose with minutes to spare for Kim Petras’ team to take over.

With typical DJ shows, you’re not really watching the DJ, but rather dancing to the music. Mazurbate started his set with the Charli XCX’s “Boys” and kept the crowd moving throughout his nearly 50-min long set. He played it safe and stuck to mostly pop songs like Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been”, but the most surprising song on his mix was The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” (which had a massive reaction from the audience). I’ve heard that song covered by so many young musicians, and it’s always a favorite.

Kim Petras came on stage shortly after the countdown intro, with the same Beat/DJ that tour with her in October 2018. Unlike her opening slot, Petras, now as headliner, had a full hour plus set to pick her songs, theme, and full control.

All of her singles, that she previously released online (“I Don’t Want It at All”, “Heart to Break”, “Feeling of Falling”, “1,2,3 Dayz Up”, etc.) were all really well-known to her fans. Almost every song was greeted with the audience singing back to every word.

With help from Dr. Luke (who produced Petra’s latest project, Clarity) and Charli XCX (“Unlock It” features Kim Petras and Jay Park), you can tell that the future is really bright for Kim Petras. Looking at the entire sold-out North American tour, this Fine Line Music Café appearance may be the smallest venue that Petras will likely ever play.

Fri 06/21/2019 (7pm/$15/Sold Out)

It’s easy to see that the upcoming Kim Petras’ Fine Line Show has sold out. She’s got a ton of fans, thanks to her #1 Spotify Global Viral 50 “I Don't Want It At All” or her Top 40 radio hit “Heart to Break”. We last saw her with Troye Sivan Oct 2018 and wrote, “Petras played her debut hit single “I Don't Want It at All”, and based on the brother and sister and others, in front of my seat, she’s got quite a few fans. They were mimicking (in an awesome way) the way Petras does her “woot” after some songs.”

21-year-old Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and Yo-Yo enthusiast Faye Webster will be headlining the 7th Street Entry in support of her new album Atlanta Millionaires Club (Secretly Canadian).

You may recall that we saw her in March 2019 and mentioned, “She actually did a Father cover song, called “Cheap Thrills”, converting the rap/hip-hop song to something pleasant and muzak... although it did sound a bit weird when Webster sings “We’re nowhere near a lake, but I can still get you pretty wet.””

I’m also happy to see that Jenny O. will be opening. What a good pairing.

Ever wondered whatever happened to A.A. Bondy? We last saw him in person in Mar 2009… Well, according to the singer, “In 2012 I quit making music and joined an MDMA surf club in Los Angeles. Years passed. People died. I drank heavily and started meditating. I fell in love with Anita Baker.”

He started writing music again in late 2016 and the result can be found on his new album Enderness. A.A. Bondy will be touring in support of the new record, stopping by the 7th Street Entry this June 20th.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas--

With a chill in the air and snow on the ground, the holiday season is in full swing, meaning it’s almost time for the annual star-studded holiday concert, 101.3 KDWB's Jingle Ball 2018, Presented by Capital One®, taking place on Monday, Dec. 3 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Performers at this year’s holiday bash include: The Chainsmokers with special guest Kelsea Ballerini, 5 Seconds of Summer, Halsey, Bebe Rexha, Bazzi, Sabrina Carpenter, Kim Petras, Dinah Jane and Monsta X.

If that’s not enough entertainment for one night (or if you can’t afford a ticket) the Jingle Ball Pre-Party is a free all-ages event prior to the big show, happening down the hall at Rivercentre, in the Roy Wilkins Auditorium with doors opening at 4pm.

The lineup includes newcomers Madison Beer, Logan Henderson, Kim Petras, and Spencer Sutherland. Notable is the fact that Kim Petras is doing double-duty, performing both at the pre-party, and at the main event. The German-born LA-based singer is creating buzz with new EP Turn off the Light Vol 1 (Bunhead Records) and has over fifty million streams of her songs, having also just come off tour supporting Troye Sivan.

This year's official charity for 101.3 KDWB's Jingle Ball 2018 is the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. $1 of each ticket sold will be donated to the non-profit organization, which is dedicated to inspiring today's youth through entertainment and education focused initiatives.

Show up early to check out YouTube star Kim Petras. ..… Kim Petras Show up early to check out YouTube star Kim Petras. Petras recently released her her Halloween-themed mixtape Turn Off The Light Vol 1. ..…

Teen idol Troye Sivan brought his Bloom tour to the State Theatre in Minneapolis on October 17th.

First on the lineup was Carlie Hanson (who was a surprise as she’s not listed on the venue’s website). Hanson is joined by a live guitarist (sorry didn’t catch his name) and typically shirtless Tosh Peterson (Tosh the Drummer).

Since her set time was so short (20 minutes), there was very little banter between songs. We did learn that she’s from St Croix, Wisconsin, and mentioned that some of her best friends drove all that way to see her in Minneapolis.

Hanson’s set featured five original songs, ending with “Us”. The singer actually left a few minutes before twenty, but her band continued to jam until the very last minute allowed.

Next up was German singer (but currently based in Los Angeles) Kim Petras and her dancing beatmaster DJ, playing some pop songs.

If you didn’t know, Petras came in the spotlight at an early age, when she became one of the first (if not the first) to undergo gender transition in the media. With the current climate of LGBT, the community is behind Petras in full support of her music.

Petras played her debut hit single “I Don't Want It at All”, and based on the brother and sister and others, in front of my seat, she’s got quite a few fans. They were mimicking (in an awesome way) the way Petras does her “woot” after some songs.

Again, with a limited opening 30-min set, Petras just concentrated on playing songs rather than talking. I’ll fill in the news for Petras, since she didn’t mention it.

Just in time for Halloween, Petras released her Halloween-Themed Mixtape Turn Off the Light Vol 1, and the tape features a special appearance from Elvira, herself! The lines from her mixtape were all taken from various horror films, from John Carpenter’s Halloween, to my personal favorite A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, to the classic original zombie film George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. It’s obvious that Petras loves her horror movies, so if you do too, check out the mixtape on various streaming services.

Whatever Troye Sivan is doing, it’s working for him. As an actor (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) or YouTube star or promoting queer youth, the South African-born Australian singer has become one of the most influential teens in the world. Thanks to his fans, Sivan’s first single, “Youth” was top 40, and his various singles have landed at #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.

With his second album Bloom (Capitol Records) out, Sivan has plenty of material to work with on his full hour long show, featuring plenty of costume changes and chatting with his fans. Whatever songs he played next, the audience knew the songs and often helping him sing.

Sivan’s live backing band is tight, never missing a beat. They’re so well-rehearsed, from starting behind the curtains of “Seventeen” to floor-stomping satisfying concluding song “My My My!” (both regular and the Throttle Remix version!)

Bloom is out now on Capitol Records.
