Bad Bad Hats

first-avenue.com

In celebration of their 10th Anniversary debut of It Hurts EP, local favorites Bad Bad Hats will be playing an early and late show at the 7th Street Entry on February 4th, 2023.

According to Afternoon Records, the EP will be remastered, but they’ve also included demos of all five songs. Available digitally and on vinyl for the first time.

Bad Bad Hats at the Cedar (28 June 2014)

We first caught the band in June 2014 and noted, “Starting with Bad Bad Hats, who played a solid set consisting of their latest It Hurts EP (Afternoon Records) with some new songs. There were a lot of young crossover fans, who showed up early to show support for Bad Bad Hats. Some of the new songs included "Joseph", which singer Kerry Alexander commented, "If your name is Joseph, then this song is for you." Huge cheers were heard when "Super America" was announced, so you can tell that was the big hit for this young band.”

Special guest Beemer to open.

Talisk
at the Cedar
thecedar.org

Scottish folk band Talisk is back in America with their Back in America tour. We last mentioned they were in the Minneapolis area in Mar 2018, so it’s been a while since we heard from them.

The trio (Mohsen Amini, Benedict Morris, and Graeme Armstrong) first rose to fame after winning the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award and the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards "Folk Band of the Year" category in 2017.

Talisk’s new album is called Dawn.

Bush
at Fillmore Minneapolis
livenation.com

I believe the upcoming Bush concert at the Fillmore on Feb 6, 2023, is a make-up date for their 2020 tour in support of The Kingdom. As many of you know, 2020 proved to be a terrible year for live events due to the pandemic.

In the 90s, Bush was a massive band… but they broke up after 2000.

In 2010, the band reformed to play their first show in 8 years, and since then changed their line-up and created new songs.

With the new 2022/2023 tour, Bush released another new album, The Art of Survival.

Minneapolis: March 15 to March 17, 2018

Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from March 15 to March 17, 2018.

TMBG Tour Poster Read More They Might Be Giants The thing about They Might Be Giants is that they understand their fans. They get it; they know people don't automatically rush out to get the latest album, so they didn't bombard us with playing all 25 brand new tracks

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
First Avenue
Thu 03/15/2018 (8pm/$30)
first-avenue.com

We can't be silent, because they might be giants!

Yes, John and John of They Might Be Giants are back in town, with their all new album I Like Fun. We’ve been the Brooklyn band many, many times, and they are always such fun, like the title of their new album.

Although I know every TMBG’s song lyrics pre-Apollo 18, you don’t need to be a hardcore fan to enjoy their shows. TMBG’s songs are catchy, and you’ll find yourself singing along - even though it’s the first time you’ve heard it!

On this “An Evening with They Might Be Giants”, the duo will be playing a double set, meaning they are the opening band and headliner. They’ll likely play some songs from I Like Fun, but also promised “deep cuts”, so you’ll have to stick around for the second set to hear some old classics.

I Like Fun arrives on vinyl on March 16th, but I suspect you may be able to purchase it at the First Avenue show the day before.
