CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMEN
at Myth Live Event Center
Thursday, 12/01/16, 7pm ($22)

Start off December right with Catfish and the Bottlemen at the Myth in St Paul. We’ve been big fans of the British group since we wrote about them in December 2014. Since then, we’ve happily seen the band grow from their humble 7th Street Entry show to overtaking the mainroom at First Ave.

By the way, the popular band recently sold out Wembley Arena.

Anyway, now the band is back in town, doing a year of nonstop touring in support of their new album The Ride.

There are no opening bands listed for the Myth show.

Catfish and the Bottlemen are: Van McCann (lead vocals, guitar), Johnny Bond (lead guitar), Benji Blakeway (bass) and Bob Hall (drums).
