Julia Wolf, aka WOLF, is back in Minneapolis.

Julia Wolf at Fine Line (02 Apr 2022)

We saw Julia Wolf April 2022 and wrote, “New York’s Julia Wolf (aka WOLF), opened the show. We last mentioned that she released her debut EP Girls In Purgatory… so most of the songs played were taken from the debut, including “Falling In Love” and “In My Way”. She also had some new songs that haven’t been released yet. One of those songs, which I’ll call “Get Off My D**k” (based on a partial setlist that she released on her Facebook page), was written after being stood up from a record label.”

Opening will be Bronze Avery, in support of his debut album SOFTMETAL.

The Beths
with Sidney Gish
at First Avenue

New Zealand-based quartet The Beths is back on tour in support of their album Expert In A Dying Field (Carpark Records).

The Beths at Fine Line (04 Mar 2022)

We saw The Beths in Mar 2022 and wrote, “As for The Beths (singer and guitarist Liz Stokes, lead guitarist Jonathan Pearce, bassist Benjamin Sinclair, and drummer Tristan Deck) … it’s been a while since we last saw the band at Rock the Garden in 2019. We wrote, “Chicago Tribune called The Beths, one of the “best up-and-coming bands”, so we were really eager to catch this young New Zealand trio (Elizabeth Stokes, Jonathan Pearce and Benjamin Sinclair) on tour. This is also partly because they are one of those few bands that we haven’t covered and was excited to see their first time in the area. According to guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Pearce, the band have been on a co-headlining tour with Bad Bad Hats since February 2019, so they were pretty happy to share the stage once again with the local band. The band basically played their debut Future Me Hates Me, available now from Carpark Records.”

Adrianne Lenker at Cedar Read More Big Thief Brooklyn’s Big Thief to open. The band was previously in Minneapolis with Here We Go Magic last November 2015. Big Thief’s Masterpiece will be out May 27th, 2016, on Saddle Creek. ... Luke Temple Here We Go Magic's Luke Temple is listed as opener for the upcoming tour.

Don’t worry about the future of Big Thief, as they’re about to release their sophomore album Capacity on June 9th on Saddle Creek. In the meantime, the band’s singer/songwriter, Adrianne Lenker will be headlining a solo tour this Winter.... stopping by the Cedar Cultural Center on February 21st.

We saw Big Thief in July 2016 and mentioned, “Although shy, distant, and often staring at her feet, when not singing, Lenker did share some personal things about herself - for example, bassist Jack Stanek (Victor's Door) is actually Lenker’s step brother. Or that Big Thief’s secret band member is called “Martha”, an oregano plant.”

Interestingly enough, Here We Go Magic’s lead man, Luke Temple will open. We haven’t seen Temple since Nov 2014 ... so it’s been a while.
