The Ballroom Thieves

A Wolf in the Doorway is the new album from Boston's The Ballroom Thieves. The band is stopping by Minneapolis' Bryant-Lake Bowl tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13th. The venue is very, very small. ...

Boston’s The Ballroom Thieves headlined the Turf Club, in St Paul, in support of their new album Clouds (Nettwerk Records).

Opening the show was Bad Posture Club. The Minneapolis-based folk duo made up by Maren Day and Morgan Kavanagh, and they have a very NPR-sound to them. It was very quiet, given their banjo and acoustic guitar arrangement.

They have songs about “Riding in Cars” and writing songs about their Grandmother, after house-sitting for them while they were in the hospital.

Their second album A Place Between came out in 2021.

Georgia Harmer was next. The Canadian is touring in support of her debut album Stay In Touch (Arts & Crafts). Although it’s her first album, she’s been creating music and songs since birth. She’s from a musical family, including her aunt and labelmate Sarah Harmer (Georgia’s parents, both professional musicians, met while playing in Sarah’s band).

She wrote songs when she was 10 years old, and, while still a teenager, went on tour as backing vocalist for Alessia Cara.

Currently on this tour, her guitarist is Dylan Burchell, drummer is Julian Psihogios, and bassist is David Maclean.

While most of the songs were taken from Stay In Touch, she did preview a new song about both her aunt’s cats had died. It would seem like most of her songs are slow, depressing songs… and she’ll be first to admit it so, when she joked at the end of her set, “We’re playing another sad song… then then the moshing song!” With that, she ended her set with “All in My Mind.”

Ballroom Thieves (13 May 2015)

We saw The Ballroom Thieves in May 2015, and mentioned, “The Ballroom Thieves, on their second appearance in Minneapolis (previously also billed at Byrant-Lake Bowl), was pleased to see that the room was full this time around. Drummer Devin Mauch, who is celebrating his birthday today (May 14th), said that they originally didn't have Minneapolis on their tour itinerary, but they made the extra effort to put the city back on their schedule. Thanks to word of mouth, there was a really good turn out for the show... especially on a Wednesday.”

Lucy Dacus was recently pick of SXSW roundtable from Brody, who said she was incredible. Dacus will be stopping by the 7th Street Entry on Wednesday to promote her sophomore album Historian, available now on Matador Records. The show is sold out.

In an in-depth New York Times feature/interview (at nytimes.com), they cover everything from her outspokenness about about feminism and how she’s always reading about 5 books at a time.

And The Kids and Adult Mom will open the show. We previously saw the former with Highly Suspect in Apr 2017 and noted, “Normally a quartet (Hannah Mohan, Rebecca Lasaponaro, Megan Miller, Taliana Katz), I believe for their live shows, they’re only trio (minus Megan Miller on keys)... as with their previous appearance in April 2016, opening up for Ra Ra Riot.”

"WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC
+ Emo Philips
Pantages Theatre
Tue 04/03/2018 (7pm/$59.50)
Wed 04/04/2018 (7pm/$59.50)
hennepintheatretrust.org

Parody songwriter “Weird Al” Yankovic is playing a few nights at the Pantages Theatre. Unfortunately, he will not be playing any hit parody songs such as “Eat It” or the recent fan-favorites “Foils”... instead this so-called “The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour” will just feature Weird Al’s original songs.

Which is lovely, if you want to hear those songs. Even Weird Al warned fans before purchasing tickets:

In case you haven’t heard the rumors… THIS WILL NOT BE OUR NORMAL KIND OF TOUR.... No costumes, no props, no video screens, no computer servers. We’re just going to walk out on stage, sit down on stools, and play a bunch of old songs. Oh, and we’re going to be performing almost exclusively originals (i.e. not parodies). The deep cuts and obscure tracks. The songs that were never hits. The ones you barely remember.

ALL THEM WITCHES
with New Madrid
at Turf Club
Saturday, 12/19/15, 8pm ($10/$12)
turfclub.net

Athens-based New Madrid will be making a stop at the Turf Club in St Paul on Sunday, December 19th in support of their 2014 album Sunswimmer (Normaltown Records). These guys have an awesome sound that is almost psych-rock but not quite. At times it just sounds like layers upon layers of noise and then the next song sounds like a straight up rock song. They are said to be working on a new album coming out next year, so I'm anxious to see what the new songs sound like!

They will be opening for All Them Witches who were here in February and played to a packed house at the 7th Street Entry.

Tickets are moving fast for this show. Don't miss your chance to catch these awesome bands!

The Ballroom Thieves

A Wolf in the Doorway is the new album from Boston's The Ballroom Thieves. The band is stopping by Minneapolis' Bryant-Lake Bowl tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13th. The venue is very, very small. ...

Boston's The Ballroom Thieves just played Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater in Minneapolis last night, May 13th. Don't let the Bowling Theater fool you, this was organized and booked by the Cedar Cultural Center, now in its 26th year.

Jake Jones

Opening up the show was local musician Jake Jones with a full backing band. We previously mentioned opened up for Mockingbird Son.

The band did a lot of songs from The Arrowhead EP, including "Jake - Mexico", "Serenity", and set closer "Cowboy Song" (which got a loud yip from a fan in the audience). The band also threw in a brand, brand new song called "Chasing Dream", on their 30-min set.

The Ballroom Thieves, on their second appearance in Minneapolis (previously also billed at Byrant-Lake Bowl), was pleased to see that the room was full this time around. Drummer Devin Mauch, who is celebrating his birthday today (May 14th), said that they originally didn't have Minneapolis on their tour itinerary, but they made the extra effort to put the city back on their schedule. Thanks to word of mouth, there was a really good turn out for the show... especially on a Wednesday.

If you've never been to Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater, it is a small room inside a bowling alley. The unfortunate thing is if you sit near the entrance, you will often hear the pins crashing whenever someone enters or leaves the room. The bowling aspect actually inspired Mauch to advertise for the venue, trying to sell us this $30 deal of a bowling game, a bottle of wine and two entrees. The 6'4" drummer said, "If I lived here, I'd date anyone every night to take advantage of the deal!"

The majority of the songs were sung by guitarist Martin Earley, except "Bury Me Smiling", which was sung by cellist Calin Peters. According to the band, they only met her two years ago, and she said she only sang in the showers or driving or whenever she's drinking. "Those days are done!" Earley said, and so they convinced Peters to do more vocals.

Other highlight of their set included a cover of "Game of Thrones Main Theme", medley into their "Vampires" song. As a big fan of the HBO series (as are The Ballroom Thieves), I recognized the first few notes right away.

As you can see from their setlist, the majority of songs were taken from their latest album A Wolf in the Doorway. They basically played almost the entire album, leaving just two or three songs off. When they came back for the encore, which was a very brief pretend walking down the stairs that went nowhere behind the stage, they played a brand new song called "Anybody Else".

The Ballroom Thieves' A Wolf in the Doorway is out now via Blue Corn Music.

GLOCKABELLE
glockabelle.com

New York's Glockabelle has a new EP called Wolf BBQ, set for release next week, May 19th.

The thing with Glockabelle (aka Annabelle Cazes) is that she plays "a lyre-shaped glockenspiel with eight thimbles and two pocket calculator Casios."

Wolf BBQ EP is described as "a collection of mostly unreleased tracks. The result is a collection of equally playful and technically complex tracks filled with surf and punk tendencies, all brought together with her intricate synths and controlled madness."

Glockabelle will be playing with Kaki King next week:

May 21, 2015 - Rough Trade - Brooklyn, NY
