MARCH 30: 7TH STREET ENTRY
Perfect Pussy w/ Condominium + The Miami Dolphins

Across the street at the Mill City Nights is Gary Numan w/ Big Black Delta + Roman Remains. John is covering the late 70s/80s icon... here's hoping he does his hit "Cars" song.

Zeal Hot Records

Opening up for Numan will be Big Black Delta and Roman Remains. The latter is basically The Duke Spirit (Liela Moss and Toby Butler), in support of their full-length album, Zeal, out now on Dhani Harrison (George's son)'s H.O.T Records Ltd.

Hopefully, if it works out, I'll be at 7th Street to cover Perfect Pussy. The NY band has been touring relentlessly in support of their acclaimed new album Say Yes To Love, which is out now on Captured Tracks. Lots of buzz for this band, especially from NPR, SPIN, Stereogum, NME, and, of course, Pitchfork.

Opening up for the Perfect P will be Condominium (read about them here) and The Miami Dolphins. I believe both bands are from Minneapolis.
