Chicago’s Lala Lala headlined the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on Thursday night… but it almost didn’t happen. On the road to Minnesota, the 60mph wind blew Lala Lala’s van door open and broke it. They couldn’t get it to lock and close, so they used bungee cords… but the extremely cold temperature and snow did not help matter. Welcome to Minneapolis’ spring time, I suppose!

Anyway, hearing the story from band leader Lillie West, it sounded like they nearly had to cancel this show. Fortunately, the show did take place.

Opening up the show was Elton Aura with his DJ. His music was hip-hop and R&B. It’s a running joke, but almost every song ended with air horns (which was also a running gimmick of another singer/DJ in the past). If you’re confused or not sure what an air horn sounds like, head over to YouTube to hear a sample.

Aura dedicated “Big Brother” to his older brother, for inspiring him to sing and write songs. Near the end of his set, starting with “Poison Ivy”, he started testing out “new sh**”, new songs that haven’t been recorded yet.

Lala Lala came on stage to very loud clapping from everyone at the 7th Street Entry… Although singer Lillie West came to Los Angeles when she was a teenager, I still detect a British accent on her whenever she spoke.

Since catching Lala Lala in Oct 2017 at the defunct Triple Rock Social Club, we described the band as “a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience.” We saw them again in Mar 2019 and noted, “downtempo sound amid often dark lyrics is still evolving”.

They ended their set with “Fantasy Movie” with special guest Elton Aura, to help them close out the show.

Lala Lala’s latest I Want The Door to Open is out now on Hardly Art.

Local singer/songwriter Alina Maira is having her “Reservoir” single release party this April 13th.

They described her as “singer/songwriter from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, recently planting herself in Minneapolis. Her songs are meant to provoke human connection through the avenue of shared experiences; reminding every listener that they are never alone in what they feel. Music has helped her in a myriad of ways since early childhood, and it remains one of the most core parts of her.”

We did randomly catch Alina Maira opening up for Tokyo Police Club in Oct 2021 and embarrassingly misspelled her name as Alina Maria.

Author and Pit Stop to open.

BAD BAD HAT
badbadhats.com

Minneapolis’ Bad Bad Hats signed with Don Giovanni Records for their brand new album, Walkman, due out September 17.

The trio (Kerry Alexander, Chris Hoge, and Con Davison) shared their lead single “Detroit Basketball”, which you can watch on YouTube.

They sure seem to have a thing for sports, because we last saw them at Rock the Garden 2019 and mentioned, “This was the group’s first time playing at Rock the Garden, and they were both excited and seemingly nervous…. Especially, when Alexander was trying to explain/dedicate their new song “Wide Right” to the sports team Buffalo Bills.”

I’m almost certain that the group will play plenty of tracks from the forthcoming album at their hometown gigs at the end of July. There’ll be an early and late show for the Saturday date.

Whitney is led by drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich, previously from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. ..… Lala Lala Chicago’s Lala Lala (Lillie West, Karla Bernasconi, Abby Black) opened up the show. The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. …

Chicago band Whitney headlined First Avenue in Minneapolis on October 17.

Opening up was Lala Lala, the music project of songwriter Lillie West. The interesting thing about West is that she was raised in London, but her family relocated to Los Angeles, when she was a teenager. She got deeply involved in the Illinois music scene, while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

We first saw Lala Lala in October 2017 and said, “The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. They ended their brief 30-minute set featured many songs from their debut record Sleepyhead, ending with ‘Future Flower’, a song that they’ve confessed had never been attempted to play live before.”

We saw them again earlier this year, in March 2019 and wrote, “The band’s downtempo sound amid often dark lyrics is still evolving and hearing the new single early in the set, helped prove that. West reminisced after playing it, about coming to Minneapolis just after forming the band, and playing a memorable house party, marked by someone casually walking around in a Mozart costume.”

Lala Lala played a combination of their 2016 debut Sleepyhead and their new album The Lamb (Hardly Art), including single “Siren 042” on their 40-min set.

Whitney closed out the show. The most interesting thing about this Chicago band is that their singer is actually their drummer, Julien Ehrlich. We saw the group in May 2016, stating “The second they took the stage, there was something familiar about them. Come to find out that two members of this band (Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich) are actually former members of The Smith Westerns (RIP). These guys had joined forces with members of a few other Chicago groups to form Whitney.”

We soon realized that, in fact, the band is actually from the ashes of Smith Westerns… who we saw in August 2013: “Smith-Westerns took to the stage after 10 pm and kicked in to “Fool Proof,” off of Soft Will. The guys played well despite the oppressive heat (lead singer Cullen Omori, who was dressed in an ultra-thin, billowy shirt, looked like he might melt under the stage lights) and end-of-tour fatigue.”

Still relatively new in their 2019 tour for their brand new album Forever Turned Around (Secretly Canadian), the band seemed eager to play on stage. They were all handsomely dressed, complete with a full backing band.

Looking at their setlist, you can see that they played their new single, “Giving Up” early, with a nice cover of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”, midway in their set.

Conor Oberst (formerly Bright Eyes) will be at the Palace Theatre in St Paul on Thursday. Oberst recently appeared on Charlie Rose for a special interview and performance of his latest album Salutations. … Phoebe Bridgers In the age of the internet and social media, it's incredibly hard to keep a big secret, but that's just what singers Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers pulled off … Lala Lala Chicago’s Lala Lala (Lillie West, Karla Bernasconi, Abby Black) opened up the show. The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. …

Before it was First Avenue, it was a danceteria called Uncle Sam’s, and before that, a Greyhound bus station, but for one night only, the venue was transformed into a community center for a long sold-out “meeting”--

The occasion was the first area performance from Better Oblivion Community Center, a new project teaming singer-songwriters Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers, and who defied modern odds by forming the group and recording and releasing their album, completely by surprise.

After first announcing at the Fine Line Music Cafe, the show sold out immediately (a similar story in other major cities) and then was upgraded to the bigger Mainroom at First Avenue… which completely sold out immediately as well. The “meeting” was a hot ticket.

The first act of three to take the stage was singer/songwriter Christian Lee Hutson. Hutson is a Los Angeles-based musician, just releasing a new single, ‘Northsiders’ (which Bridgers produced) from his upcoming third full-length, which will be his first in five years. Hutson, who has played with Bridgers and Jenny Lewis, did double-duty, playing also in BOCC and charmed the crowd with his well-thought out acoustic songs and deadpan humor.

In addition to the new single, Hutson (who pricked up local ears by appearing along with Bridgers at last year’s Eaux Claires Festival) lightly introduced another song by explaining it was about some friends of his that had formed a band, and bought all the latest gear, but would never leave their mother’s garage, to actually go and play a live show somewhere.

Chicago indie-rock trio Lala Lala was next, in support of last September’s full-length The Lamb (on Hardly Art Records) and a just-released new single, ‘Siren 042’, a collaboration with WHY? The band, led by Lillie West, had just played the next-door 7^th Street Entry at the end of January, and we’d seen them last with Girlpool in late 2017.

The band’s downtempo sound amid often dark lyrics is still evolving and hearing the new single early in the set, helped prove that. West reminisced after playing it, about coming to Minneapolis just after forming the band, and playing a memorable house party, marked by someone casually walking around in a Mozart costume.

Their namesake ‘Lala Song’ was played mid-set with its repeated lyric, “I'm not even listening, you're not even nothing” effectively shutting down a lot of random crowd chatter and the threesome even managed to work in a Perfume Genius cover towards the end of their forty minutes.

Entering in front of a backdrop painted to look like a patio area and smoking deck with the ominous phrase “it will end in tears” at the top, Better Oblivion Community Center entered to begin their eighty-minute headlining set. A calming taped voice intro’d the concert, welcoming everyone to a “celebration of sound and light- We are one”, the voice reassured us. “Confusion is overrated, truth can be fun” the voice continued before the band turned their volume up, re-shuffling their setlist from recent shows, to open with ‘My City’ (which would have been more suitable if it opened their previous show, in Oberst’s Omaha).

It was immediately apparent, that the meshing of these two alternative voices, he of Bright Eyes, Desaparecidos, and The Faint among others, over the last two decades and she the Los Angeles-based buzzing solo artist, who also made a recent splash with trio boygenius, was a harmonic match in indie-heaven. The music moved from traditional alt and indie-rock to touches of country, folk, fuzz, and even electro, resulting in a sound that was often different from anything each other had previously released individually.

The band is out playing these “meetings” in support of their eponymous debut album (on Dead Oceans Records) and after a building ‘Forest Lawn’ (“You used to say you wanted to end up in Forest Lawn, the two of us side by side asleep“) things really picked up with the album’ first single, ‘Dylan Thomas’.

From there, not only was almost all of the new record played, they also dipped into each other’s catalogs, beginning with 2002’s ‘Bad Blood’ which Bridgers ended up mostly singing. Things became a bit laid back for the electro ‘Exception to the Rule’ as lights dimmed further and Oberst leaned back on a low beach chair as red and white beach balls were tossed around the room.

A brisk and authentic mid-’80s Replacements cover version (hinted at in the previous song played ‘Chesapeake’ with its lyric, “I can’t hardly wait for someone to replace”) seemed perfect played from the same stage the originals did it so many times, followed by a tender ‘Lua’, a song Oberst and Bridgers would often duet together during his Ruminations Tour, when she opened for him. Oberst took lead for the Bridgers solo song, ‘Funeral’ and the five-piece would complete the main set with ‘Didn't Know What I Was in For’, the first song they wrote together and the new album’s opener.

Things were switched up again on the three-song encore, beginning with Oberst taking the lead on Bridgers’ own ‘Scott Street’ and both traded verses on a 2005 Bright Eyes song, with Bridgers singing at her loudest, by song’s end. ‘Dominos’, the new album’s closer, would also finish the evening, reassuring all in that community center way, that “if you’re not feeling ready, there’s always tomorrow.”

We may only be a few months into the year, but Better Oblivion Community Center seems like rock’s current hottest ticket, and with good reason. Though most shows have been upgraded (still subsequently selling out) this is one “meeting” worth chasing a ticket for, and attending at your local “community center”.

Oh Pep! (short for Olivia “Oh” Hally and Pepita “Pep” Emerichs) will be back in Minneapolis, at the 7th Street Entry this Saturday, March 23rd. The Australian duo’s new album I Wasn't Only Thinking About You... is out now on ATO Records.

We caught the band a few times, on tour for their debut record Stadium Cake in July 2016 and, again, in Feb 2017, writing, “The evening began with a playful and sublime forty-minute set from Melbourne, Australia folk duo, Oh Pep! (aka Pepita Emmerichs and Olivia Hally) who released their debut, Stadium Cake last June on Dualtone Records. Their blend of harmonic pop (with Hally on guitar and Emmerichs alternating between mandolin, bouzouki and violin) has proved irresistible and is recommended for fans of Indigo Girls and First Aid Kit, with a tender and relaxed sound to their music, the new album recorded in Nova Scotia.”

Crowned winner of the 2018 Tiny Desk contest Naia Izumi to open.

In the age of the internet and social media, it's incredibly hard to keep a big secret, but that's just what singers Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers pulled off, recording a secret album and debuting a brand new band called Better Oblivion Community Center.

The band was originally booked locally at the Fine Line Music Cafe, which immediately sold out (like most of their tour), then was upgraded to the larger Mainroom at First Avenue... which immediately sold out. First single, "Dylan Thomas" is burning up the alternative airwaves. Book a "meeting" if you can.

What a great pairing: Tennis with Matt Costa at the Cedar on November 2nd.

We caught Tennis in Mar 2017, after a year away from the music scene. The hiatus was good for them, as we mentioned, “Now, feeling fresh and with new songs from Yours Conditionally, the band seemed rather excited to be back on the road. Judging from the attendance and fan support, singer Alaina Moore seemed really happy that people hadn’t forgotten about them.”

One of the best songwriters today, Matt Costa is the special guest on this upcoming November tour. Costa’s fifth full-length album—and first in five years— Santa Rosa Fangs is out now on Dangerbird Records. We caught him in May 2018 and said, “Matt Costa came on stage, sporting a mustache, just started playing, almost eager and happy to end their long East Coast tour. If you didn’t know, Costa is one of the best modern songwriter, as demonstrated on his debut record Songs We Sing. His song, “Mr Pitiful”, singlehandedly rocketed Costa to superstardom, thanks to being featured in I Love You, Man and various films and Apple iPhone commercials.”

Los Angeles duo Girlpool recently stopped by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis (October 23) to celebrate their sophomore album Powerplant (Anti- Records).

Chicago’s Lala Lala (Lillie West, Karla Bernasconi, Abby Black) opened up the show. The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. They ended their brief 30-minute set featured many songs from their debut record Sleepyhead, ending with ‘Future Flower’, a song that they’ve confessed had never been attempted to play live before.

Next up was Philadelphia, by the way of New York, Palm (not to be confused with Palms), a band that suffers from that common-band-name, making searching for them difficult.

After hearing the sad news that the Triple Rock Social Club would be closing its door come November 22nd, the four-piece (guitarist/singer Eve Alpert, guitarist/singer Kasra Kurt, drummer Hugo Stanley, bassist Gerasimos “Gerry” Livitsanos) band was pleased to have the opportunity to play the much beloved punk club.

The band, at least Eve, also announced that they have fallen in love with the city and decided to move here after this year. This isn’t the first time a Philadelphia band moved here, I know at least one other band, Strange Names, relocated here as well.

Their 45-min set included ‘Ankles’, ‘Child Actor’ and their set closer ‘Two Toes’.

Girlpool closed out the night. Although they are normally a duo of Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker, they’re joined on stage by a live touring band, synth Joshua Sushman, guitarist Lauren Early, and drummer Ross Chait.

The band mentioned that they thought about cancelling the gig because they had to pull out Tividad’s wisdom tooth recently. She was still in pain, but soldiered.

The group was last seen in the area in May 2017, when they released Powerplant, but decided to come back around since they were already scheduled to play a couple of Fall festivals, including Sound on Sound Festival in Austin, Texas.

Unlike Palm, we know that Girlpool will not be moving here, as Tucker gave out a loud, “It’s cold here, holy sh***!” (it was only sweater weather in Minneapolis for the natives on this night).

Like their previous 2017 tour, Girlpool played mostly Powerplant songs, but throwing in some Before the World Was Big (Wichita Recordings) to fill out the time.

We caught the band in 2016 and noted, “Essex, UK band Nothing But Thieves didn’t have to commit any crimes to attract attention- the band is gaining more than enough on their own, clearly on the rise and obviously already playing too small a venue, on their recent sold-out stop to the Turf Club in St. Paul.”

Support for Nothing But Thieves’ U.S. headlining “Broken Machine Tour” will come from Missio and Airways.
