I have often mistaken Minnesota’s New Primitives as associated with The Primitives (famous for their “Crash” song).

“New Primitives Live at Rink Rock” is part of the Rink Rock Music Series, featuring bands playing at a MN Wild home game. The band will play two live sets, before the puck drops and between the first and second period. If you like hockey and you like music, this is the place to be.

New Primitives take on Rink Rock! Attend the MN Wild home game against the New York Islanders and catch the New Primitives performing two live sets—before the puck drops and between the first and second periods.

NEW POWER GENERATION
First Avenue
Thu 09/13/2018 (7pm/$31.21)
first-avenue.com

You know we love Prince. In celebration of the Purple One’s music the re-united New Power Generation (NPG) is headlining the historic First Avenue this Thursday.

We last saw the 11-piece band in October 2013 and mentioned, “The well-rehearsed band(s) then took to a medley with seamless segues starting with Andy Allo’s ‘People Pleaser’, morphing into the new ‘Ain’t Gonna Miss U When U’re Gone’, and ending with a thumping ‘F.U.N.K.’ Slowing the tempo down for a simmering ‘Dark’, the trademark falsetto had females swooning and lead sax man Marcus Anderson wailing on cue.”

The all-star show features Mayte, Cobi, Dujuan Blackshire, The NPG Hornheads, Keith Anderson (of the NPG Hornz).
