MITSKI
at 7th Street Entry
Tuesday, 07/19/16, 7:30pm ($12.50/$15)
first-avenue.com
Your Best American Girl’s Mitski is out on tour in support of her new album Puberty 2 (Dead Oceans). The tour is going swimmingly well, as you can see by the 50% sold out status of her tour.
We previously caught the “HAPA” artist (half Japanese, half American) in November 2015 and wrote, “She’s definitely got a knack for showmanship as her gloomy thematic album suggests, but I’ve now seen it confirmed repeatedly. She’s also very good at bringing an intimate set to another level with her musings and perceptions on her everyday and her personal accounts of people at their worst. Like I said before, Mitski is not just a musical project, it’s an identity.”
Opening will be singer Michelle Zauner, of Philadelphia indie punk band Little Big League, under the solo moniker of Japanese Breakfast. The music showcases Zauner's dark lyrics, unique vocals and pop melodies.
With two cassettes out already, Japaneses Breakfast will be out in support of its first full-fledged LP entitled Psychopomp. This album has a bit more of an experimental feeling that the previous releases but still contains everything you would want from a solo project from Zauner.
San Francisco’s Jay Som (aka Melina Duterte) to open.

RAGING FYAH
at 7th Street Entry
Wednesday, 07/20/16, 8pm ($13/$15)
first-avenue.com
Jamaica’s Raging Fyah (“raging fire”) will be headlining the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis in support of their third studio album entitled Everlasting on the Dub Rockers imprint. This will be the last night before they team up with Protoje on the remainder of the US tour.
Although the tour is to promote the new album, singer Kumar Bent noted that they will mix in some familiar old Raging Fyah songs: “Our sets on this tour will feature songs from Everlasting mixed with some of our classics. Every night feels special because we feed off the energy from the crowd to create unique elements for each show.”
Local reggae band Dred I Dread will open.

THE COATHANGERS
at 7th Street Entry
Thursday, 07/21/16, 7:30pm ($10/$12)
first-avenue.com
We’ve been writing about this all-girls punk band The Coathangers since 2007 and just love their sound. Their latest album Nosebleed Weekend was released on Suicide Squeeze Records, and with that, a new Nosebleed Summer tour.
The new album was a big departure for the band, as previously all their records were recorded in their hometown in Atlanta at The Living Room with Ed Rawls. With Nosebleed Weekend, the band found themselves in California’s North Hollywood at Valentine Recording Studios with Nic Jodoin!
Singer/guitarist Julia Kugel couldn’t contain her excitement, “The Beach Boys and Bing Crosby both recorded there! It was an amazing experience, not to mention a ghostly one too. The studio had been custom built by Jimmy Valentine and he was very protective of his passion. It sounds weird, but his spirit was there, checking in on us and f**king with us a bit.”
California’s psychedelic/punk/garage band L.A. Witch is also on the bill. We previously caught the trio (Sade Sanchez, Irita Pai, and Ellie English) with The Kills in May 2016 and noted, “Although these guys are fairly new to the scene, their music is polished and their show is very well put together.”
Local musician Monica LaPlante to open.
