Declan McKenna is touring in support of his third album, What Happened To The Beach?. The tour will stop in at First Avenue, on October 28, 2024. Declan has been enjoying a viral hit on TikTok with his cover of ABBA’s “Slipping Through My Fingers.”

Vlad Holiday at Target Center (12 Aug 2024)

We saw Vlad Holiday in Aug 2024, and noted that “He mentioned that he’ll be headlining the Turf Club, on November 3, 2024, so if you wanted to see him on a more intimate setting, there’s your chance.”

Unfortunately, since he’s agreed to tour with McKenna, it meant that logistically, he actually had to cancel his November 2024 headlining show: “First off, thanks for your support and for buying tickets to my headline show. I am excited to share that I’ll now be opening up for Declan McKenna on tour this month, but that means I need to cancel my Turf Club show on November 3. Good news is that I'll be there even sooner! October 28 at @FirstAvenue in Minneapolis....I really hope you can make it to the new date.”

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. I've been blessed in working with so many wonderful people (both in front of and behind the microphones) with whom I’ve shared much creativity and laughter. We look forward to seeing many of you soon on our forthcoming Ensouled world tour.”

Alternative pop’s brightest stars Genevieve Stokes is headlining the Turf Club, in St Paul, on October 24, 2024. She recently shared her new song “God”, taken from her debut album With A Lightning Strike available October 4 on Atlantic Records.

Talking about the song, Stokes said, “Sometimes I get so caught up in the creation of imaginary worlds that I forget how magical my real life is. I wanted to share what summers in Maine with my best friends feel like, because my experiences here and the people I love make up so much of who I am. It was fully filmed and edited by best friend Abbie Pitre, and includes a bunch of my favorite places and people.”

Greg Mendez at 7th Street Entry (14 May 2024)

We saw Mendez the first time in Minneapolis in May 2024 and wrote, ““First time in Minneapolis,” Mendez said to the crowd. “Like it better than Wisconsin.” He then elaborated that it may be due to the six-hour drive to the show. Being from Philadelphia, he said he didn’t really comprehend the vastness of the middle of the country.After a few songs, Mendez was joined on stage by V who played bass and keys while providing vocals to songs that were brief with poignant lyrics that often ran counter to the light and breezy sound coming from his guitar.”

Yard Act
with Omni

first-avenue.com

British band Yard Act is back at the Fine Line, this October 2, 2024. They claim that they keep losing money whenever they play here, but the band loves playing in the USA, so come out and see them this October 2nd!

Yard Act at Fine Line (13 Sep 2023)

We previously saw the UK band in Sep 2023, and wrote, “Yard Act is a new band (2019) from Leeds England and they had quite the debut with their first album The Overload, which was short-listed (nominated) for the Mercury Prize last year. “Confident” is the word Pitchfork used to describe the album and it is a perfect word to describe the band with a heavy beat and recitative delivery of Smith’s somewhat rap, somewhat punk, sped-up poetry slam of verbal acrobatics with a tongue in cheek and biting tongue.”

Omni at First Avenue (30 April 2019)

Omni to open. We previously saw Omni in Apr 2019 and said, “The evening’s triple-bill lineup began with a buzzing trio from Atlanta, Omni (Philip Frobos, ex-Deerhunter guitarist Frankie Broyles, with live drummer Chris Yonker- perhaps named after the now-demolished Georgia arena?), who just signed to Sub Pop’s new Singles Club, playing both new songs, ‘Delicacy’ and ‘I Don’t Dance’, and more during their brief opening set. The trio plays an antsy and addictive blend of post-punk rock, sharpened by staccato riffs and cerebral arrangements and is working on their third full-length, visibly happy about their recent signing and the chance to be on this bill. From the enthusiastic reception gauged, expect the band back, when the new record completes.”

UK-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Marika Hackman is returning to North American after five years with her new album Big Sigh. We actually mentioned her European tour dates earlier this year, so we’re happy to see that she is finally going to be in America this Fall. The tour will stop in at the Turf Club, in St Paul, on October 3, 2024.

Art School Girlfriend at Fine Line (01 May 2019)

Art School Girlfriend to open. We saw Polly Mackey in May 2019 and said, “North Wales-born, London-based Art School Girlfriend. Like Japanese House, Art School Girlfriend is just the stagename for Polly Mackey… who seemed really quiet and shy throughout her brief and very dark (lightwise) set. Most of her songs is probably taken from Come Back To Me album, including the title track… which was the second song to play after her first song “Bending Back”. With the quiet way Mackey sings and the subject matter of her songs, it is best experienced in a very quiet setting. Perhaps listening on headphones, not in a loud environment. She did ended with her danciest/loudest song, “Distance (Blank)”, with the help of pre-recorded beats.”

Hemma at 7th Street (01 Aug 2024)

Also Hemma is on the bill. We saw local singer recently on Aug 2024 and said, “local singer/songwriter Hemma, who sings about grief and healing and seems to be inspired by Joni Mitchell. Her biography mentioned that she comes from a large family of singers and sometimes she’s with a full band (but it seems easier for traveling as a soloist). Songs that she played and mentioned were “Patterns” (with the funky beats), “Home”, and “Buckskin Pony” (which she had to not use the pre-recorded background music).”

05 Oct 2024 Saturday

Billy Bragg
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

There’s nothing quite like a Billy Bragg concert. Part political rally to inspire the working class, part troubadour melodies for the melancholy and lovelorn, and a full-on musical rollercoaster in a packed venue full of fans that somehow feels intimate and inclusive—all for anyone fancies a shout and a jig and maybe wants to shed a tear for love or joy or hope. Bragg’s songs have spanned decades, with influences ranging from Woody Guthrie to Kirsty MacColl to ‘80s new wave and beyond.

The singer-songwriter is in the midst of a U.S. and Canada tour called “The Roaring 40,” in support of his 2023 career-spanning box set The Roaring 40 1983-2023. He’s touring with vocalist and keyboardist JJ Stoney, so expect plenty of favorites, some singalongs, and some heartfelt, plaintive numbers… and probably, as we’re in the midst of a U.S. election year, plenty of socio-political commentary and calls for activism. In other words, you’ll probably leave one of his shows full of love, pride, and hopeful vibes.

Billy Bragg at Fine Line (20 Apr 2019)

We saw Bragg in Apr 2019 and said, “If you’ve ever seen Billy Bragg in concert, you know that he has stories on every song he’s ever written. The show was about 40% music and 60% Bragg’s wisdom and stories. Many fans bought all three tickets, and, of course, Bragg recognized them from the previous two nights and would sometime joke about it, saying they really mistaken this show another Billy - Billie Ellish. Although to be honest, the much older audience had never ever heard of the neo-goth, chart-topping 17-year-old pop star.”

Singer-songwriter, poet, actor and multi-instrumentalist Willie Watson is touring in support of his self-titled solo album, via Little Operation Records (Thirty Tigers).

Watson is the former founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, so it was tough to finally break out, as he noted, “After 30 years of playing music professionally - this is my debut album. This record is me beating the devil, or the story of what finally did it anyway. I didn’t make any specific pact or anything but I know we’ve been tangled up most of my life. Now that he’s gone I can love myself again.”

Mark Sultan (of The King Khan + BBQ Show)
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

Mark Sultan (of The King Khan + BBQ Show) writes:

These upcoming shows are a change for me. I will be playing my set in two formats, as one performance: the traditional one-man band act, as well as standing, and playing against a set of pre-recorded versions of songs (me at home using live drums and Farfisa). Fans can hear reimagined versions of songs they may know. Added to this are covers, as well as new songs, some of which were meant for a never-recorded King Khan & BBQ Show LP. With that band on hiatus, this will be the only way to get that fix, I suppose. And none of these new songs will be released. Fans will only be able to hear these live at the shows. Those fans might also be interested to know that the set will feature songs from my other bands (Ding-Dongs, Almighty Defenders, Les Sexareenos, Spaceshits, etc…).

I’m snapping out of a looong battle with anxiety, depression, and health stuff, and am very excited to have a great time, and to see everyone.

It’s been a while,
MARK

Mark Sultan at 7th Street (05 August 2016)

We saw Mark in Aug 2016 and wrote, “Sultan, dressed in a L.A.M.F. shirt (the only studio album by The Heartbreakers) and eyeball headdress, he started his 50-min set with ‘I'll Be Lovin’ You’, followed by ‘I Wanna Be The Only One’... as the night continues the music stopped suddenly: “Is everyone alright? I’m not a good musician, but I love playing music,” Sultan said, interrupting right in the middle of ‘Beautiful Girl’ (which sounded like it was inspired by The Beach Boys). Then minutes later, after fixing some hitch, he continued with an extended version of that song.”

Quarters of Change is headlining the Amsterdam Bar and Hall, in St Paul, on October 21, 2024.

Quarters of Change at The Bottleneck (24 Sep 2023)

We saw the band in Sep 2023 and wrote, “Presumably to show their appreciation to their tour openers (and maybe an inside joke we didn’t all get) Quarters of Change emerged for their main set, all wearing “I Heart NEF” white t-shirts, and they would bring the opener back on stage to help with the set-closing, “T Love” (an ode to the very relatable idea of ‘tough love’) so we think it was a genuine friendship formed between the two acts. In addition to the upcoming album, the Lower-East-Side quartet recently released a deluxe version of their last full-length, Into the Rift and they consist of Ben Acker, Attila Anrather, Jasper Harris, and Ben Roter, whose sound is influenced by classic bands like The Beatles and The Who, as well as more recent alternative acts, RHCP and their own NYC cohorts, The Strokes.”
