Mon 05/06/2019 (7:30pm/$15)
turfclub.net

Danish punk rock band Iceage will be playing the Turf Club this May 6th. We caught the band in April 2013 and said, “Singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt looked very emotional - yet with a blank uncaring stare that reminded me of Ian Curtis. Their music wouldn't really fit neatly in a punk genre; they seem to have a little self-loathing to their lyrics and sound.”

Show up early to check out Nadah El Shazly.

London-based alt-pop Oh Wonder is headlining First Avenue’s mainroom next Friday, June 3rd. The duo (Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West) has already sold out major cities, such as London, Paris, and Los Angeles... so check them out now before they get much bigger.

Oh Wonder’s self-titled debut album is out now via Island, Republic, and Caroline International.

Opening will be Los Angeles’ Lany (stylized as LANY, pronounced ‘lay-nee’). We previously caught the trio (Paul Klein, Les Priest and Jake Goss) in July 2015 and wrote, “I was surprised by the amount of people that knew who these guys were. People were singing along to every word and swaying back and forth to every note. The girls in the crowd were swooning over the singer, who may as well have been a model.”

Expect some of those sing-along fans to be at this Friday’s show.

Brooklyn grunge-pop band Charly Bliss will open the show; their latest single “Ruby” just came out May 16, 2016. Eva Hendricks is the band's charismatic singer, which The A.V. Club described as “a laboratory fusion of Eddie Vedder and a punk-rock cheerleader”. We previously caught the young band in 2015 and wrote, “It's hard not to like the band, especially seeing singer Eva get really excited about playing their songs.”

Rozwell Kid is also on the bill.
