British rock band Slowdive are touring in support of their new album everything is alive.

Slowdive (31 Oct 2014)

One of my favorite shows ever, was seeing Slowdive on Halloween at the Fine Line on 31 Oct 2014. Since they don’t celebrate Halloween in the UK, the band had a blast dressing up in costume, and making their show an unforgeable experience: “Anyway, Halloween shows are always fun, because half the fun of watching the band is also watching the audience for some great costumes. Usually bands will come on stage in costumes, but for Reading-based Slowdive, they went all out! Not only was everyone, including the audio techs and sound engineers, dressed up, but they went the extra mile and dressed their stage with various Halloween fun like cobwebs, handmade pirate flags, skulls, pumpkins, candies! This tells me the band are really committed to show us a good time!”

“Intergalactic duo” Drab Majesty to open.

After a long pandemic break, Matt and Kim is returning to touring with the banner of “Matt and Kim Present: The Matt and Kim Tour Featuring Matt and Kim!” Regarding the title and tour, Matt says, "THIS TOUR IS GONNA BE SO RIDICULOUS! And we mean that in the best way possible! Been putting together every M&K song you’d want to hear and mixing in LOTS of surprises.”

Matt & Kim (07 Aug 2015)

Matt & Kim are always fun live, I’ll never forget that time I got this amazing photo of the duo at the Go Fest 2015: “I had a lot of fun, and I think the audience did too. Some new gimmick they did tried for this show was getting everyone to blow up balloons and then tossing them up in the air. They also brought out a parachute and had people holding it up (wasn't quite sure this one worked as well as they intended).”

Pkew Pkew Pkew to open.

New Orleans’s Generationals are touring in support of their new album Heza (Polyvinyl Records).

Generationals (06 May 2013)

We previously saw the band in 06 May 2013 and said, “As for Generationals, I couldn't stay for their show because of prior commitments, although a quote I got from a fan tells me that they "were fantastic!" Generationals is currently on tour for their Polyvinyl album Heza, which was released earlier last month (April 2nd). ”

mmeadows (12 Jun 2023)

mmeadows to open. We previously saw them in 12 Jun 2023 and said, “Opening the show was New York-based prog-pop duo Mmeadows (Kristin Slipp and Cole Kamen-Green), on their first appearance in Minneapolis. It should be noted that singer Slipp is a member of Dirty Projectors, so if you like that band, you’ll find a lot to love with Mmeadows’ synth and elastic vocals. Kamen-Green (son of drummer drummer Joey Baron), meanwhile, has worked with Beyonce, Diana Ross, and other massive stars… but he remains hidden in the background.”

Bayonne at 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (12 June 2023)

06/12 Bayonne with mmeadows at 7th St Entry Bayonne Setlist Must Be True Is It Time Appeals Drastic Measures Perfect Words Sincere Uncertainly Deranged Abilia I Know Right Thing Come Down -- Encore -- Fallss Read More Bayonne Bayonne, the new moniker of Austin-based Roger Sellers, will be making a stop at the 7th Street Entry on Wednesday, January 27th. The artistic style ....

Multi-hyphenate experimental band Bayonne (aka Roger Sellers) headlined the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on June 12, in support of his new album Temporary Time (Nettwerk Records).

Opening the show was New York-based prog-pop duo Mmeadows (Kristin Slipp and Cole Kamen-Green), on their first appearance in Minneapolis.

It should be noted that singer Slipp is a member of Dirty Projectors, so if you like that band, you’ll find a lot to love with Mmeadows’ synth and elastic vocals. Kamen-Green (son of drummer drummer Joey Baron), meanwhile, has worked with Beyonce, Diana Ross, and other massive stars… but he remains hidden in the background.

The duo mainly played songs from their debut album Light Moves Around You, including the new single “When We Are Together We Are Really Free”.

Bayonne (04 Apr 2017)

We’ve seen Bayonne before in April 2017 and compared him to Thom Yorke: “Opening up the show was Austin’s Bayonne, the stagename for one-man-band Roger Sellers, with a brief 30-min set. Armed with headphones and using various loops and pre-recorded beats, combined with raw vocal performances and sometime live instruments, Bayonne was able to recreate some unique songs. Some of the songs sounded like what Thom Yorke (Radiohead) would create with his experiments.”

Again, the setup remains the same as before, with Sellers remaining in the darkness as you’re shown a visual image in the background. The whole point in playing his show this way is to let you experience his music with the visual imagery. I don’t think Sellers likes being in the spotlight and would have preferred to play and sing behind the curtains…

As you can see from the setlist, he ended the show with “Come Down”, followed by the encore song, “Fallss.”

Bayonne’s new album Temporary Time is out now on Nettwerk Records.

Remaining tour dates:

6/13 – Chicago, IL @ Schubas
6/15 – Columbus, OH @ The Basement
6/16 – Cleveland, OH @ Mahall’s
6/17 – Toronto, ON @ Monarch Tavern
