Peter Bjorn and John
Like many fans, we first discovered Peter Bjorn and John through their big, viral hit ‘Young Folks’ (the song was soooo massive, even a young Kanye West stole the catchy melody).

Acclaimed Swedish indie-pop band
Peter Bjorn and John will be playing their breakout
Writer’s Block album (the album with “Young Folks”) in its entirety, with this special US tour in May 2025. The tour will stop by the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on May 16, 2025.

Peter Bjorn & John at Fine Line (23 June 2016)

We saw the band in
June 2016 and said, “Anyway, after a five-year break (their last album Gimme Some came out in 2011), to give room for various solo projects: Peter’s solo albums, Björn’s “Yttling Jazz”, and John’s project Hortlax Cobra. With all that out of the way and a fresh perspective, the trio is back with their catchiest album yet, Breakin’ Point. Joining the trio were new touring band members, Klaus and Freya, both doing various keys and extra percussions... which is reflective of Breakin’ Point’s synth-heavy new sound. The extra production really adds a fuller sound to PB&J.”

09 May: San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall
10 May: Pasadena, CA @ Just Like Heaven

Mallrat at 7th Street Entry (07 August 2019)

We saw Mallrat in
August 2019 and said, “Singer/rapper Mallrat (aka Grace Shaw) came on stage to unveil her brand new crazy pink folded top (which resembles a flower of some sort). Shaw would later confess that the shirt is too big and she can’t properly move her arms… describing that she felt like a Tyrannosaurs Rex. Starting out her set with “Tokyo Drift”, she would move back and forth and smiling brightly as she sings, “and we're never on time, laughing at the wrong time”.”

Metal Fans Unite! The
Milwaukee Metal Fest is coming up on May 16 to May 18, with a pre-party kickoff on May 15. The event will take place at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Since its original announcement, the music festival has added S.O.D. Tribute (ft. Scott Ian, Dan Lilker, Jamey Jasta), EYEHATEGOD, Pentagram, Toxic Holocaust, Bongzilla, Revocation, Ov Sulfur, Left To Die + The Lurking Corpses… now clocking in at over 60 bands on the lineup!

GWAR at Skyway Theatre (11 Oct 2019)
|
We’ve seen a few of these bands before, with
GWAR as one of our most favorite, from
Oct 2019: “You see, with each tour, there is a new storyline in the world of Gwar. Last year, the band killed Donald Trump, so this tour, the band is being impeached by the planet Earth. With a new storyline, that meant new songs (to fit with the them) and also delightful new dialogue from the band. Even if you don’t like metal music, you’ll still be very entertained by beheading (and the infamous blood squirts - so wear a raincoat to these shows!), puppets, and incredible costumes. Personally speaking, it’s the most entertaining show we’ve seen all year.”
The updated lineup is now as follows:
Friday, May 16
DOWN (Anselmo, Windstein, Keenan, Bower, Bruders)
