Bright Eyes
with Maya Hawke
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Beloved indie trio Bright Eyes (featuring Conor Oberst, producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and composer/ arranger/ multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Walcott) have announced a limited spring tour run ahead of their appearance at Corona Capital Guadalajara. The band will stop by First Avenue in Minneapolis on May 11th, 2023.

Conor Oberst with Dawes (02 June 2014)

We saw Oberst in June 2014 and said, “Conor Oberst along with Dawes, then took the stage for his two-hour set, which varied from Night One, but also opened with the first two songs which start his new album, ‘Time Forgot’ and ‘Zigzagging Toward the Light’ before he reached back into his Bright Eyes catalogue for ‘We Are Nowhere and It’s Now’ (“this one’s about purgatory”, Oberst would say). Dawes had already rehearsed 45-50 songs of the Oberst oeuvre, so was ready for any setlist changes or called audible.”

Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke to open. If you missed her at the sold-out Fine Line in March, here’s your second chance to see her.

Matthew Logan Vasquez (19 Apr 2016)

We saw Logan Vasquez in Apr 2016 and noted, “As mentioned, Matthew is the lead singer for the indie rock group Delta Spirit. These guys apparently have a huge following as far as I could tell by the multiple Delta Spirit T-shirts in the crowd. At first I was a little surprised but as soon as he started singing, I understood.”

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE
at Palace Theatre
Thursday 09/28/2017 (7pm/$31)
palacestpaul.com

One of the most important Canadian band Broken Social Scene is making their return to Minnesota at the Palace Theatre next Thursday. The all-star collective (they have officially 19 band members!) has produced notable stars such as Metric, Feist, Stars, Emily Haines, Amy Millan, Apostle of Hustle, etc. This is going to be a great, fun time.

We haven’t seen BSC since 2009 and 2008, so it’s a rare treat that they can all come together to tour.

Expect to see these guys rocking together on stage at the Palace show: Kevin Drew, John Crossingham, Brendan Canning, Sam Goldberg, Charles Spearin, Ariel Engle, Justin Peroff, Leslie Feist, Andrew Whiteman, Emily Haines, Evan Cranley, Amy Millan, Jimmy Shaw, Lisa Lobsinger, David French, Ohad Benchetrit, and Jason Collett.

BSC’s long-awaited fifth album Hug Of Thunder is out now.

Scotland’s Frightened Rabbit to open. The last time we saw the band at Festival Palomino 2016, we wrote, “The band undoubtedly gained new fans as a result of their early slot and songs like ‘Old Old Fashioned’ seemed tailor fit to this type of festival. ‘The Woodpile’ remains a sonic tour-de-force and the band closed with 2010’s somewhat somber, ‘The Loneliness and the Scream’.”

JUDAH & THE LION
at First Avenue
Friday 09/29/2017 (8pm/$22/Sold Out)
first-avenue.com

Judah & The Lion has sold out their appearance at First Avenue for September 29th. We’ve always known they were a special band, especially after seeing them for the first time in 2014 and wrote, “It's feel-good singalong folk rock, think Mumford & Sons, and you get the idea. Many of their songs got their most dedicated fans to help sing along, especially on "Back's Against the Wall", where Akers stopped a second to hear his fans finish the lyrics... with the biggest grin on his face.”

Judah & The Lion’s Going To Mars is out now.

Irish indie rockers The Academic will open the show. After this US tour, the Choice Music Prize nominee band will be returning to the UK to play some of their biggest headlining gigs this November.
