A PERFECT CIRCLE
+ Badflower, Night Club
Armory
Sun 11/11/2018 (6pm/$60)
armorymn.com

A Perfect Circle is back in town. This time at the new Armory venue and in support of their new album Eat The Elephant (the band's first new album in fourteen years!).

We caught the band in November 2017 and wrote, “With a sheer curtain between the crowd and the band, A Perfect Circle began their hundred-minute set with 2003’s ‘The Package’, the curtain dropping mid-song as Keenan sang “give this to me!” to a roaring crowd. The set was, and remained mostly in darkness for the show, bassist McJunkins and guitarist Billy Howerdel prowled out front as Keenan, James Iha on rhythm guitar/keys and drummer Friedl were each perched on individual round platforms towards the back of the stage. Keenan stayed mostly in darkness throughout, though his flowing blonde wig was visible as he swayed and moved about in the fog and black.”

Badflower and Night Club (Goth-pop duo featuring flame-haired Emily Kavanaugh) will open.

Note: Tricky will not be appearing at the Minneapolis show.

MATTHEW SWEET
+ LowRay
Turf Club

The truth is, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Anime-loving singer/songwriter Matthew Sweet since I heard his breakout hit single “Girlfriend.” Sweet was my very first concert in 1991, at the Cadillac Club (long defunct) in Fresno, California. I was still in high school and still love and know all of the lyrics from Sweet’s albums and EPs pre-Son of Altered Beast.

Sweet is back in town in support of his 13th studio album Tomorrow’s Daughter (the follow-up to Tomorrow Forever), available via Honeycomb Hideout and MRI/Sony.

GRIZZLY BEAR / SPOON
Surly Brewery
Sat 06/30/2018 (4:30pm/$41/Sold Out)
surlybrewing.com

It’s the hottest ticket in town: Spoon and Grizzly Bear is playing Surly Festival Field this Saturday.

Grizzly Bear’s latest Painted Ruins is available now via RCA Records. The album has earned widespread praise from the New York Times, NPR Music and GQ, who commended the band’s “strikingly gorgeous music and harmonies”, while Esquire called the record “Their most mature album yet.”

We caught Spoon in Sep 2017 and said, “Following a break, rolling fog crept in under dim mono-chromatic lighting (with occasional strobe lights) and five louvered panels behind a set of scalloped curtains, to set the stage for Spoon’s hundred-minute headlining set. An extended instrumental intro for the opening ‘Do I Have to Talk You Into It’ brought the band members up one by one in the near darkness, making it look like they were performing from inside the mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

Note: the grounds are open at 4:30pm, so show up early to check out Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.

Grizzly Bear/Spoon Tour dates:

6/20 BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn Brooklyn, NY
6/22 Stage AE - Outdoors Pittsburgh, PA
6/25 PNC Pavilion Cincinnati, OH
6/26 Live on 9th Street Columbia, MO
6/30 Surly Brewery Minneapolis, MN
