Maggie Rogers at First Ave (29 Oct 2018)

We saw Rogers on her debut album tour in Oct 2018 and wrote, “Coming on stage to ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” (which incidentally the Vaccines also used recently), Maggie Rogers danced wildly to her set starter “Give a Little”. Rogers explained that, “We don’t have a ton of songs out in the world, so we’re just going to play the new record.” She’s referring to her debut album Heard It In A Past Life, which isn’t going to be out until January 18, 2019 via Capitol Records. She basically played the entire album, and throwing in some songs from her EP and a John Prine cover of “Angel From Montgomery” on the encore.”

Tove Lo at First Ave (15 Feb 2017)

We saw Tove Lo in Feb 2017 and wrote, “Tove Lo took to the stage wearing a cinched up Beatles t-shirt and in tight yellow zippered racing pants, adorned with album’s title on the back cheeks and the album’s two chapters, Fairy Dust and Fire Fade, down each leg. Like many Swedish dance pop acts, her three-person band included two on percussion with a keyboardist rounding out the group. Fairy Dust refers to the emotional curve of anticipation and euphoria, marked by slower jams, and how she opened with ‘True Disaster’ and the album’s title track.”

at First Avenue

Samia is tour in support of her sophomore album Honey (set for release on January 27th, 2023 via Grand Jury Music).

Samia shares the following about Honey : “This record is about learning to see the love around you. Sometimes the only thing I can be certain of is the way it feels. Even when I zoom all the way out, the little things matter the most. I was trying to imagine looking back at the end of life and what I'd have to say about it right now. This is a little bit of it. Telling stories, making amends, trying to show people I love them. It's a community record - I made it with Caleb Wright and our friends in the woods in North Carolina.”

Read More Hippo Campus The crowd at the music stage began swelling very early on, as local favorites Hippo Campus played first, with a spirited 40 min. set that included new single, “South” EP out Oct 2 on Grand Jury Records) …

HIPPO CAMPUS
hippocampus.band

Minneapolis’ Hippo Campus announced their forthcoming EP Good Dog, Bad Dream via Grand Jury. The EP will come out August 6th.

Talking about the “good dog” lyric from the title track “Bad Dream Baby”, singer Jake Luppen explained, “The lyrics are a stream of consciousness, darting between my complex relationship with my father, a Britney Spears documentary, and some older men at Grumpy's (my favorite bar in Minneapolis) who used to hit on me. The hook references my exit from the Mormon religion when I was 15 and the isolation felt during quarantine and the death of the dog my mom got me during my parents’ intense divorce.”

We last saw Hippo Campus at their hometown gig in March 2017 and wrote, “The buzz for Hippo Campus at their homecoming show was simply amazing. As soon as the band took the stage, a hundred cellphones went up in the air to record every moment of the band. The audience was generally young teenagers, but that is expected for a semi-rare all-ages weekend show at First Avenue.”

With new music coming out, you can probably expect to see the group heading back to touring. We’ll keep you updated if they do return to the road.
