THE SPECIALS
+ L.A. Salami
First Avenue
Fri 06/07/2019 (8pm/$40)
first-avenue.com
UK 2 tone ska legends The Specials will be stopping by First Avenue this June 7th. The Specials, along with The Beat, Selecter, and Madness, have influenced a generation of ska bands.
The band was recently declared May 29th as “The Specials Day” in Los Angeles, and deservingly so. The new album Encore is the first album since 1980 and it went straight to #1 in the UK Charts.
London’s L.A. Salami will open the show. If you remember, we saw the singer in Mar 2018 and said, “Coming on stage to an extended band jam intro, L.A. Salami (short for his full name Lookman Adekunle Salami) confessed that he’s been “spying from the bar” to survey the crowd. He’s come to the conclusion that we were an “interesting group.” If you couldn’t tell, it was clear that he was pretty happy about the large audience, possibly thanks to his appearance at the popular local station The Current ahead of the show.”

Dennis Lloyd is headlining the Amsterdam Bar & Hall on Monday, June 10th. What’s interesting is that Morgan Saint will open up the show. If you have been following the singer, she’s been in Minneapolis/St Paul two other times in the last few years … so she must really love playing here.
