This show was originally scheduled in February 2022:

Indie-rock vets We Are Scientists will be on their Come One Get Huffy tour … We last saw the band in May 2019 and wrote, “Next up was New York, by the way of Berkeley, We Are Scientists. The duo features Keith Murray on lead vocals and guitars and Chris Cain on bass and backing vocals, but for the live shows, they’ve added Keith Carne on drums. I’ve told this story before, but I first discovered the band in 2006, when the band had a massive breakthrough success with their debut With Love and Squalor. Just simply listening to the album for the first time, we were all singing along - that’s to show you how catchy their songs are.”

Portland’s Blackwater Holylight is out on tour in support of their third album Silence/Motion on RidingEasy Records.

It’s the band’s first headlining tour and they are looking forward to it: "We’re gearing up for our first US headlining tour and couldn’t be more excited to be sharing the road with Bleakheart and Spirit Mother! We will have a ton of merch available and can’t wait to see you all out there.”

We saw the all-girls group at Desert Daze 2019 and wrote, “Blackwater Holylight was one of the sickest highlights of the festival. This all girl band are like Hell’s Angel’s dressed in black and ready to knock your socks off. These Oregon based gals had their second album drop on Friday, and they were “So happy to be sharing it with you guy.” Amidst technical difficulties they gained massive support from the crowd, and got through a killer set quite effortlessly.”

Houston's award-winning 8-piece ensemble The Suffers will try and fit on stage at the 7th Street Entry once again. We caught the large band in June 2015 and said, “Make Some Room is not only the title of the recent EP from The Suffers (on Rhyme and Reason Records), but was also the edict as the band and venue’s personnel tried to clear enough stage space for all ten members. With percussionists and guitarists wedged in back, and the horn section, keys and bass up front, the band managed to make it work and make the audience work a little too, during their hour-long set.”

The Suffers’ forthcoming sophomore album Everything Here will be out July 13, 2018, via Shanachie Entertainment.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Sweden’s Shout Out Louds at the Fine Line Music Café in October 2007, but their last appearance at the Varsity Theater in May 2013 was probably their best: “As for performance, I felt with the years of touring experience, that this is Shout Out Louds at their best. They kept tuning/guitar changing down to a minimum, they have their own set of lighting and massive backdrop, and all the band members all had their little moments on stage. Near the end of their set, Olenius jumped into the crowd and spent a few minutes standing on the drum kit, while the rest of the band members do their rock-thing. They certainly didn't do any of those things the last time I saw them, and I love the new changes.”

This upcoming 2017 tour is Shout Out Louds’ return to North America about four years. Their new record Ease My Mind is available now on Merge Records.

Not listed on the venue’s website, but Surf Rock Is Dead will open. The Melbourne/Chicago band previously toured with The Jezabels in November 2016.

CRYSTAL CASTLES
First Avenue
Wed 11/08/2017 (Cancelled)

With the recent sexual harassment put forth by former singer Alice Glass on her website, the entire Crystal Castles tour is cancelled.

Glass wrote:

“I met “Ethan Kath” (Claudio Palmieri) when I was in the 10th grade. The first time he took advantage of me was when I was around 15. He was 10 years older than me. I came to in the back of his car extremely intoxicated (from drinks he had given me that night).”

Kath responded:

“I can’t support extortion, false claims and accusations put forth after the band attained new success without her.”

Whatever the truth is… it’s hard to think that Crystal Castles will survive after this.

J.Views (aka Jonathan Dagan) has cancelled his appearance at the Cedar Cultural Center this Thursday.

He offers this apology:

I wanted to write a quick note to sincerely apologize to you for this unexpected update; many of the shows on our upcoming US & Canada tour needed to be cancelled.

We were able to keep the New-York, San-Fransisco, Santa Ana, and Los-Angeles shows as planned.

Both I and the J.Views live band were so eager to finally connect with you in person and play a show that we've been working on for months, but due to unforeseen circumstances we simply couldn't make it work this time.

We'll be looking into scheduling a new event on the next US tour. In the meantime; I wanted to offer you free downloads of Hi-Res versions of J.Views music, as well as a one-on-one Skype session, just to say a quick hi
