Chicago-based band Tenci is back on tour in support of their sophomore album A Swollen River, A Well Overflowing (set for release in November 4th on Keeled Scales).

Tenchi (27 Aug 2021)

We saw Tenchi at 7th Street Entry in Aug 2021 and said, “Opening up the show was Chicago-based musician Tenci, on their last appearance with Valley Maker. The band, led by Jess Shoman, features saxophone player, guitarist Curt Oren, drummer Joseph Farago (of Joey Nebulous), Isabel Reidy (of Izzy True), were both sad and grateful for being part of the tour. Sometime when we see bands near the end of their tour, you get the impression that thay’re exhausted… but not with Tenci. The band seemed like they would be forever happy if they just kept traveling town to town talking about “snakes”. ”

Update 11/5/2022: Sass to open.

Bass prodigy and burgeoning pop icon Blu DeTiger will kick off an extensive North American headline tour on November 3 at Royale in Boston. The tour will stop by the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis on November 9.

Last month, Capitol Records released “Crash Course,” Blu’s collaboration with Biig Piig. Consequence of Sound said, “The appropriately-named ‘Crash Course’ moves at an electrifyingly quick pace, complete with DeTiger’s usual funk bass and some delightful auxiliary percussion. It’s refreshing to hear both artists turn the tempo notch high while retaining their respectively cool styles, always effortless and wonderfully stylish.”

Tiffany Day to open.

Ty Segall (09 Mar 2016)

We saw Ty Segall & The Muggers in Mar 2016, and wrote, “The ever-prolific Ty Segall is back with his latest creation: Ty Segall & the Muggers. With his eighth studio Emotional Mugger, album via Drag City Records, we see Ty Segall at his most experimental and more focused on setting a certain style and theme with the new album.”

at 7th St Entry

British pop duo Let’s Eat Grandma (Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth) will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this November 12th.

We don’t know where the band got their name, but they probably stole it from The Maine, who has a song called “Let’s Eat Grandma”, which we heard at the Varsity Theater in 2015. That’s weird, right? You can hear the official recording of the track on YouTube.

Let’s Eat Grandma’s album Two Ribbons is out now.

Animal Collective
myanimalhome.net

Influential experimental band Animal Collective are back, and they’ll be stopping by First Avenue on March 21st, as part of their tour for their new album Time Skiffs.

We last saw Animal Collective at Desert Daze (in California) in Oct 2019 and wrote, “… electro-psych band Animal Collective’s set did not disappoint. They opened up with the old school tune from 2005’s Feels, Banshee Beat, fronting stunning visuals of disco dancing girls and hearts. These guys played a bunch of new material, a few being “Gem and I”, “Bolder”, and “Strangers”. Another, “DownDownDownDown” was one that was rare and unreleased. The trippy background art was ridiculous, the one with hands almost holding onto each other being my favorite. Their encore performance was “For Reverend Green”, which they hadn’t played in 12 years.”

Opening will be L’Rain, who we saw in Oct 2021 and said, “Opening the show was Brooklyn’s L’Rain (Taja Cheek), playing to a flower decorated mic station. The American experimentalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer was recently added to influential Pitchfork’s 25 Next List. They are saying that these artists are shaping the future of music.”

These songs are filled with nuance- breaths of saxophone and flute, and touches of cello, piano, and pedal …

South Carolina’s Valley Maker stopped by the 7th Street Entry on Friday, August 27, to play some songs from his latest album, When the Days Leaves (Frenchkiss Records).

Opening up the show was Chicago-based musician Tenci, on their last appearance with Valley Maker. The band, led by Jess Shoman, features saxophone player, guitarist Curt Oren, drummer Joseph Farago (of Joey Nebulous), Isabel Reidy (of Izzy True), were both sad and grateful for being part of the tour. Sometime when we see bands near the end of their tour, you get the impression that thay’re exhausted… but not with Tenci. The band seemed like they would be forever happy if they just kept traveling town to town talking about “snakes”.

If you’re wondering about why Shoman chosed the Tenci name for her music project, it’s a tribute to her grandmother's name Hortencia, shorted to Tenci as a nick name.

Most of their songs, such as “Joy”, on their set were taken from their album My Heart Is An Open Field, which came out in 2020 on Keeled Scales. To fill out their set, Shoman said she was working in some new, unrecorded songs on their set.

Tenci ended their 45-min set with a song called “Two Cups” (at least that’s what I heard).

Starting with “Instrument”, Valley Maker (aka Austin Crane), expressed his happiness to be back on stage. Crane is joined by backup singer Amy Godwin, who sang and harmonized many of the songs appearing on When the Days Leaves (including “Mockingbird”)… so it would make sense to have her on tour.

Crane stated the obvious, “I’m going to play some new songs and some old songs. That’s why you guys came out, right? I don’t know any other songs.”

Being back at the 7th Street Entry reminded Crane of the last time he was in town, playing the same venue, in Dec 2018. At that time, he was in the process of moving from Seattle to South Carolina, so that show held a lot of memory for Crane.

Valley Maker will continues his tour to Chicago (tonight), to support his new album When the Days Leaves.
