Taking Back Sunday will be taking back First Avenue (they previously performed at First Avenue in 2012) this Thursday (too bad it’s not a Sunday!), touring in support of their seventh studio album Tidal Wave (Hopeless Records).

Taking Back Sunday is Adam Lazzara (vocals), John Nolan (guitar, vocals), Eddie Reyes (guitar), Shaun Cooper (bass), and Mark O’Connell (drums).

Every Time I Die and All Get Out to open. The former, we previously saw in December 2015, and noted, “Every Time I Die is an extremely popular metalcore band from Buffalo, NY. They got their huge break after their song "The New Black" was featured on Guitar Hero 2 but have had a huge base of fans ever since they started in 1998. I have seen ETID over a dozen times live and it's all about their live shows. The amount of energy these guys have is unreal.”

Also Southwest London’s Izzy Bizu is on the bill. The 22-year-old singer songwriter was a 2016 Brits Critics Choice finalist, and widely considered one of the fresh new voice of 2016 (The BBC’s Introducing Artist of the Year and support from 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1).

08/11-08/13/2017 Over in Somerset, Wisconsin, is the annual Summer Set Music & Camping Festival. Lots of dance DJ/electronica bands on the bill, but honestly, I haven’t heard of many of them. 1pm, $75-$500.

08/11/2017 Austin’s Sweet Spirit will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this Friday. We previously saw the fun band in April 2017, and they played an amazing version of Pulp’s ‘Common People’, thanks to special guest Har Mar Superstar. Local “All the way from Uptown, Minnesota” Pornonono (Amy Hager and Jacob Mullis from Fort Wilson Riot) to open. 8pm, $12.

08/12/2017 The popular annual Pizza Luce Block Party is this Saturday. This year’s lineup is one of the best I’ve seen in years: Haley Bonar, Craig Finn, Allan Kingdom, Sophia Eris, etc. 12pm, Free.

We previously saw the band in April 2016 and said, “The Rocket Summer is a one-man band. Bryce Avary does everything when it comes to recording. When he goes on tour, he brings a guitarist and drummer but still seems to do majority of the work. It was amazing to watch him move effortlessly between guitar, bass, piano, vocals, drums, hell, he even beatboxed at one point.” 888 to open. 7pm, $20.

EZTV at 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (07 October 2016)

EZTV Setlist Bury Your Heart Pretty Torn Up Hard to Believe Trampoline High Flying Faith Hammock When My Baby's Beside Me (Big Star cover) The Light Temporary Gold Goodbye Morning Racing Country Pornonono Setlist Keep Me Up Mr Mistress Don't Tell Anyone Sea of Love Keep It Coming My Way Head Let It Go Back Enough Body Right Frontline Mornonono Read More EZTV New York’s trio EZTV (not the Pirate EZTV or media company EZTV) will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this Friday, October 10th in support of their new record High in Place. ... Fort Wilson Riot Our favorite Minneapolis duo were recently mentioned in talking with Brody; he revealed that he was seeing Ft Wilson Riot in New Orleans. It looks like the band is still in the Georgia area: .… Sleeping Jesus Winona’s Sleeping Jesus started the show. Thankfully, it wasn’t religious music, as the “Alaskan Farmer” band’s name might imply. The band is led by singer/songwriter Nick Elstad …

EZTV stopped by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Friday night, October 7th.

Winona’s Sleeping Jesus opened up the show, playing tracks from their Perennial EP... however the five-piece (Nick Elstad on vocals/guitarist, Tyler on drums, Christopher on guitarist, Leah on keys, and Ross on bass) played a new song near the end of their 40-min set.

“All the way from Uptown, Minnesota” Pornonono was up next, playing a “RnB future-myth” dance music. I actually recognize Amy Hager and Jacob Mullis from Fort Wilson Riot... and, as it stands, as we previously written, “Minneapolis is swarming with incestuous (creative) relationships.”

Brooklyn’s EZTV said it best on Friday night, “You guys got some options tonight, but thank you for coming to our show.” The four-piece (singer/guitarist Ezra Tenenbaum, drummer Michael Stasiak, bassist Shane O'Connell, and additional live guitarist Christian Peslak) was referring to several shows in the city, including Rachael Yamagata at Triple Rock Social Club, Caroline Smith at O'Shaughnessy, Glass Animals at Myth Nightclub, Luisa Maita at the Cedar Cultural Center, and, of course, right next door, Dinosaur Jr at First Avenue. As usual, there are plenty of choices in this year’s Rocktober in Minneapolis.

Singer Ezra Tenenbaum, relating to Dinosaur Jr., said one of his bird band featured frontman J Mascis’s dog walker. We’re not entirely sure if he was joking or not (we think he’s being serious).

The first time EZTV was in town, it was on Super Bowl Sunday (with Martin Courtney of Real Estate), and said they had a great time with the good turnout (despite the harsh Minneapolis winter). When questioned about his memory (“Who played?”) Shane O’Connell said, “The Vikings, right?”

As you can see from their setlist, the first half is from their debut Calling Out, with the latter half featuring mostly High in Place. Rounding out the rest of their set was a Big Star cover ‘When My Baby’s Beside Me’, which they jokingly said was a Cheap Trick song. The cover was special in a few ways, as this was the first time they played it after “chickening out” playing it a few nights earlier.

‘Goodbye Morning’ was touted as their saddest song they’ve ever written. Then they said how devastated they were when they heard (could not make out the name) a podcast was canceled.

After their set finale ‘Racing Country’ was played, drummer Michael Stasiak announced, “See you next Super Bowl Sunday!”

Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on October 7, 2016.

Read More Dinosaur Jr Yes, I know, Dinosaur Jr broke up in the late 90's. Then about five years ago, the band got back together and produced their album, Beyond. Since then, J Mascis did some solo stuff ... Steve Gunn I had heard previously that Steve Gunn is for guys that like guitar-based bands. Similar to Television. Lots of droning and interplay between the two guitarists. Good way to start the day. ...

DINOSAUR JR
at First Avenue
Friday, 10/07/16, 8pm ($25/$28)

90s alternative/Modern rock band Dinosaur Jr. will be headlining First Avenue’s mainroom this October 7th touring in support of their new record Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not (out now on Jagjaguwar).

The first time I heard about Dinosaur Jr was for the music video for ‘Feel the Pain’, in 1994 on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Since then, we’ve watched the band broke up in 1997 and followed band leader J Mascis on his solo record, plus various projects like Sweet Apple (we wrote about this in in 2010.)

The band did re-form in 2005, and we eventually J Mascis at SXSW 2011.

Steve Gunn & the Outliners to open. Steve Gunn’s new album and debut for Matador Records is called Eyes On The Lines. Gunn’s band the Outliners is a large ensemble, featuring Nathan Bowles on banjo, Hans Chew on wurlitzer (what the heck is that?), James Elkington on guitar, Mary Lattimore on harp, Jason Meagher on bass, Paul Sukeena on guitar, Justin Tripp on keyboards, and John Truscinski on drums.

RACHAEL YAMAGATA
at Triple Rock Social Club

triplerocksocialclub.com

Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Rachael Yamagata is back on tour, supporting her fourth studio album Tightrope Walker (Frankenfish Records/Thirty Tiger).

Talking about the new record, Yamagata mentioned, “To me, it represents a woman who’s finding her courage and having her familiar self-deprecating thoughts about herself, yet inside of her exists this potential for absolute joy and freedom and power. It just goes through the trajectory of discovering that and questioning that, which made the song richer.”

Maryland’s trio Pressing Strings (singer Jordan Sokel, drummer Brandon Bartlett and bassist Nick Welker) to open.

“The New Voice of Brazil” Luisa Maita will be playing at the Cedar Cultural Center this Friday, October 7th. If you’re a fan of Brazil’s Ceu, you’ll find a lot to like with Maita.

Since Maita’s debut album Lero-Lero (Cumbancha / Oi Música) in 2010 (the term is a slang for Brazilian Portuguese for “idle chit chat”), she toured North America that November to all positive reviews.

Maita is back in the states, this time for her new album Fio da Memória, out now on Cumbancha.

Caroline Smith is about to embark on 2016 tour, but before she heads out - she’ll be playing a local show at the O’Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University as part of their Women of Substance series. The show is open to the public.

Dizzy Fae will open. We previously caught Fae at Amsterdam Bar on May 2016 and described her sound as a bit of FKA Twigs or Morcheeba: “The middle act was 17yr old newcomer Dizzy Fae, who just has a small handful of songs to her name at this point, but is quickly gaining local buzz. Backed by DJ So Na, Fae brought a dreamy electronica tinged with R&B to such songs as ‘Color Me Bad’ and ‘Complexion’. Fae impressed many in the crowd (handfuls were there specifically to see her, it was obvious), even Lizzo, who was also present and “feeling good as hell” (though she didn’t perform).”

Indiana's Houndmouth will be stopping by Minneapolis on Halloween at the Fine Line Music Café. Typically, these Halloween shows are great, as half the fun is also watching the audience with their various costumes. I remember one year I saw 20 belly dancers costumes (including some men!) at the Beats Antique's Halloween show (their lead singer is a belly dancer). Perhaps we will see some sexy McGruff the Crime Dog or sexy Cicada costumes...

Cicada Rhythm will open the show. They are touring in support of their self-titled album (out October 30th via Normaltown Records). I am assuming you can pick up a copy on this tour.

We like the Mallman, listen to our interview from 2012:

W♥M149 (24 mins)

Mallman recently announced his upcoming album:

My dear fans and friends, I'm excited to announce today the title of my next album: "The End is Not The End" - I can assure you nothing more than a master work has been created. To me, music is a visceral, ethereal, raucous bloodletting of emotion and split nerves, and it's taken longer than any record I've ever made (3 years) to perfect it with sound. ***Just as Sweet: After toiling amid the ruins of the music business realm these past months, I've decided to take the leap of faith and partake in the potluck dinner known as Kickstarter. (Expect a launch in the coming weeks.) Not only will you be able to pre-order the digital or hard copy of "The End is Not The End", but you'll be able to get T-shirts, a 4 CD out-takes boxed set, a 4 t-shirt Kickstarter exclusive, private concerts, and most exciting - my collection of custom studded/spray painted jackets from points in my career all the way from Marathon 3 to Parasite Eyes. More to come, my freaks and friendlies!!!! much love - MALL<MAN
