New York’s The Thing is back in Minneapolis! The band will headline the 7th Street Entry on December 3, 2024.

The Thing at 7th Street (03 Apr 2024)

We saw The Thing in Apr 2024 and wrote, “We’ve previously mentioned that their music is quite under the radar, but eventually they’ll build up a good fanbase (seeing as they’ve sold out several major cities when they were the headliner). With a spot on Chvrches’ tour (probably thanks to their guitarist’s connection to Dave Stewart helping with Chvrches’ latest album), you can bet that when the band returns to MN (and let’s hope for another venue other than the Turf Club), that people will be up front and singing along to songs like “Loveless”, which ended their brief set.”

Excited for the tour, Belles shares, “The Trust Issues Tour marks my second headlining club tour, and after the success of the first, I couldn’t wait to hit the road again. We’re revisiting some amazing venues and adding a few new ones that I’m excited to play for the first time. Connecting with my fans through live music is something I cherish, and this tour is all about deepening that bond. If you come out to a show, get ready for a night filled with storytelling about crazy ex-boyfriends and moving on, mixed with drinking, dancing, and hopefully a few moments that really hit home.”

Deafheaven at Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis (15 Mar 2022)

Deafheaven with Holy Fawn and Midwife at Fine Line Deafheaven Setlist Shellstar In Blur Great Mass of Color Honeycomb From the Kettle Onto the Coil Worthless Animal The Gnashing Mombasa -- Encore -- Brought to the Water Dream House Holy Fawn Setlist Candy Dark Stone Drag Me Into the Woods Death Is a Relief Arrows Seer Midwife Setlist Christina’s World God Is a Cop 2018 Colorado S.W.I.M. Read More Deafheaven Deafheaven is touring in support of their fourth album Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (the second album for ANTI- Records). Uniform and Drab Majesty to open. ...

Black metal band Deafheaven headlined the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.

We weren’t originally scheduled to cover this show, but the opening act, Midwife came highly recommended by a friend… so we decided to check her out.

What I can tell you about Midwife, aka Madeline Johnston, is that her music is extremely slowcore. She’s creating this music landscape with her ghostly vocals (amplified by her custom telephone microphone). Her music seems like it could work for a movie soundtrack.

She played a few tracks from her new release, Luminol, including the singles “Christina’s World” and “Colorado”.

Next up was Phoenix’s Holy Fawn (singer/guitarist Ryan Osterman, guitarist Evan Phelps, bassist Alexander Rieth, and drummer Austin Reinholz), their second Minneapolis appearance to date. They seemed really happy to be in Minnesota, stating that they love the cold weather (I guess anything is better than Arizona’s hot summer).

The band first came to the attention of many fans when Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe and Thrice’s Riley Breckenridge raved about Holy Fawn’s debut album Death Spells in 2018.

Deafheaven closed out the show, coming on stage a little later than advertised. Originally a duo between singer George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy, they expanded to a full touring band featuring bassist Christopher Johnson, synths Shiv Mehra, and drummer Daniel Tracy.

Although I described the band earlier as black metal, they sometime cross music genre into shoegazing territory, which some fans are calling the music genre “Blackgaze”.

Deafheaven’s latest Infinite Granite is out now on Sargent House.

3/16 - Lawrence, KS - Granada Theater
3/18 - Denver, CO - Summit
3/19 - Salt Lake City, UT - Urban Lounge
