 Ben Sollee
Once upon a time the Cedar Cultural Center had an early bedtime and a comfortable elastic waistband. It was a place where white liberal Ravi Shankar fans could gather to sip tea, discuss local politics, and crazily tap …

BEN SOLLEE/MOTHER FALCON
at Cedar Cultural Center
Friday, 10/30/2015, 7pm ($18)

Cellist
Ben Sollee is on "The Fall Migration" tour, you may remember that we haven't seen Sollee since his tour with
Daniel Martin Moore in 2010 and as headliner
in 2008. It's been a very long time since we saw this "angel in a JCrew pullover".
Co-headlining with Sollee will be
Mother Falcon, a spectacular "20 active rotating members" orchestra. We previously mentioned their 2013 album
You Knew when
they were on tour, but had no idea this was an orchestra pop band.
Mother Falcon's third LP
Good Luck Have Fun is available now on Universal Music Classics (their first release on UMC and marks the beginning of a new partnership, which includes plans to record and release a fourth album in 2016).

 Fruit Bats
If you are looking for a laid back collection of summer tracks then I suggest you look no further than The Ruminant Band by the Fruit Bats.

FRUIT BATS
at Turf Club
Friday, 10/30/2015, 8pm ($15)
turfclub.net
We were pretty excited to hear that earlier this year Portland's
Fruit Bats had reformed (not to be confused with Turbo Fruits). They recently finished their tour with My Morning Jacket, and will be stopping by the Turf Club in St Paul as a continuation of their headlining tour. Unfortunately, they've landed in October, our busiest time of the year for live coverage!
If you go to this show, expect frontman Eric D. Johnson to play some tracks from
Ruminant Band, which we previously wrote, "Eric D. Johnson, singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist, led me on a journey to the heart of the summer.... If you are suffering from the recession blues, down on your luck then maybe you have just stumbled upon your cure."
Special guests
Joan Shelley and
Paul Spring to open.
Tour Dates:
10/25 - Norman, OK - Opolis
10/27 - St. Louis, MO - Old Rock House
10/28 - Rock Island, IL - Rozz
10/30 - St. Paul, MN - Turf Club
10/31 - Chicago, IL - Schubas

TELEKINESIS/SAY HI
at 7th Street Entry
Friday, 10/30/2015, 8pm ($13)

Telekinesis will be in town celebrating his fourth studio album
Ad Infinitum on Merge Records. We haven't covered a Merge band in a long time... We last caught Telekinesis
in 2013 and
in 2009 (in Manchester, England).
Ad Infinitum is available now on CD and LP in the Merge store; all LP purchases will include three bonus tracks as a download.
Say Hi (aka Eric Elbogen) will co-headline. He's touring in support of his ninth album
Bleeders Digest (out now on Barsuk Records). We like Barsuk Records... but unfortunately had to miss his show
last April 2014 and earlier in January 2015 (due to Winter Hibernation).
As we previously mentioned, the name is shorten from "Say Hi To Your Mom". We also mentioned that Elbogen's music is both charming and personal.

10/25 @ Horseshoe Tavern Toronto, ON
10/26 @ The Blind Pig Ann Arbor, MI
10/27 @ Grog Shop Cleveland Heights, OH

 All That Remains
As expected, fans are divided on the approach that All That Remains have taken on their new album but I think the least anyone could say is that it's a giant step forward from the disaster that was A War You

ALL THAT REMAINS
at Studio B (Skyway Theatre)
Friday, 10/29/2015, 7:30pm ($20)
skywaytheater.com
All That Remains will be bringing their hard rock music to Studio B (inside the Skyway Theatre) on Friday, October 30th. This tour will be in support of their latest studio album
The Order of Things that was released back in February on Razor & Tie Records. Frontman Phil Labonte has been considered controversial because of some of the comments he has made (calling gay people "f***ts" and then saying they shouldn't be offended because black people have it worse...), but this has not stopped this band in the least. Worldwide album sales for All That Remains have exceeded over one million with no end in sight.
All That Remains will be joined on stage by
Like Moths To Flames and
We Came As Romans. The latter released their self-titled album on July 24th of this year. It debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top Current 200. I saw these guys awhile back and their live show blew me away. The amount of energy they have during a live show is immeasurable and I cannot wait to see them again.
Red Sun Rising will also be on this bill. These guys are fairly new to the scene and recently released their debut album
Polyvester Zeal. They recently finished touring as support for
Nothing More and
Pop Evil. These guys are quickly gaining popularity so make sure you come out to this show and see what they can bring to the table!
