The last time we saw Sweden’s Little Dragon was in May 2015 and we said, “I'm happy to report that Little Dragon is all grown up. Since we last saw the Swedish band in November 2009 (six years ago), the band has grown in terms of sound, stage, and fanbase. With the larger stage of First Avenue's mainroom, the band had custom diamond light setup with a massive backdrop image. Musically, the band is doing more dance club, even tribal, sound. This music appeal to a new larger legion of club music ... only a little more diverse with various ethnic groups.”

Little Dragon new song “Best Friends” (available on limited 12”) is out now.

DJ Lenka Paris to open.

CAROLINE ROSE
+ Cardioid
7th Street Entry
Wed 06/06/2018 (7:30pm/$10/Sold Out)
first-avenue.com

Americana musician Caroline Rose is on her very first headlining tour with her album Loner (New West). We previously caught Rose with Lord Huron in June 2016 and said, “Rose is joined on stage by Pat Melvin on bass, Brett Lanier on pedal steel, and Dan Davine on drums. Notably gone is the upright bass! Now that Rose’s national debut album I Will Not Be Afraid is out, the 26-year-old songwriter looked even more confident about playing to a large audience. Rose confessed that she wasn’t quite comfortable playing so early (7:30pm), after they finished playing their first song ‘When You Go’.”

Los Angeles’ Cardioid (Lizzy Ellison and Riley Geare) to open. This upcoming show at the 7th Street Entry is sold out.
