The Unlikely Candidates
with White Line Darko
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com
Texas-based Alt-Rock band
The Unlikely Candidates is touring in support of their new album
Panther Island.
Lead singer Kyle Morris described the album, “The record is a kaleidoscopic landscape of genre and style that changes from song to song, a greatest hits of the sonic worlds the band has inhabited over the years. Thematically it’s just as varied, shifting from songs about the chaos on the streets and loneliness behind the phone screens of America during the pandemic, to humorous tales of twenty-something malaise and the many ways the heart breaks; when love or loved ones are lost. At the heart of this album is the ethos of taking a bad situation and making something of it. It was written during the pandemic while the world was shut down, by a band who has hit enough roadblocks to delay a debut album nine years.”
White Line Darko to open. The new Minneapolis psychedelic rock outfit recently had a double single release show for “Turning Out!” at the Driftwood Char Bar in Minneapolis
last June 10.

Portland band
Eyelids is touring for their new album
The Accidental Falls. The group recently added a new member, Victor Krummenacher (of
Monks of Doom,
Camper Van Beethoven).
Their secret origin of
The Accidental Falls was when former Tim Buckley collaborator Larry Beckett first offered Chris Slusarenko and John Moen of Eyelids to write new lyrics for their next record, the band wasn’t sure how it would fit their brand of guitar-driven rock. But they trust it to work and as a result, the fourth album was created with
R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, as record producer. How they got involved with R.E.M. is another story altogether… but let’s just say that the group is a big fan of R.E.M’s music, and it’s an honor for them to work with Peter Buck.
Muun Bato to open.

Violent Femmes
with The Breeders
at Palace Theatre

What a dream lineup! It’s Cult-favorite band
Violent Femmes with
The Breeders 2022 tour.
Violent Femmes’ recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of
Why Do Birds Sing? with a deluxe 2-CD reissue. The album was remastered with previous unreleased material (including alternative takes and outtakes), and a complete concert from 1991 (captured at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA).
We last saw VF in
Oct 2017 and wrote, “It basically boils down to the fact that fans probably haven’t seen VF for 16 years. That’s a long time, but, based on hearing almost every song sung back, word for word, these same fans clearly haven’t forgotten about the Violent Femmes. They saved two of their biggest singalong classics ‘Kiss Off’ and ‘Add It Up’ for the encore.”
