The Gaslight Anthem are on their reunion tour, stopping by The Midland Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Fillmore in Minneapolis, Minnesota. W♥M recaps the two concerts.

Gaslight Anthem at The Midland, Kansas City MO (09/23/2022)

Scranton, PA alt rockers Tigers Jaw have been opening on this leg, with a forty-five-minute set, with cuts drawn from their six full-length albums, the most recent being last year’s I Won’t Care How You’ll Remember Me (on Hopeless Records) with a new EP, Old Clothes, due out October 28^th, with the title track serving as the lead single.  

The group benefits from having co-lead singers in guitarist Ben Walsh (who sang most of the set’s first-half songs) and keyboardist Brianna Collins who stepped away from her stack to sing most of the later set songs, notably on 2017’s “June” and last year’s “Commit” with Collins singing, “An eclipse only shines from a distance, you can't make sense of a world you're not in.”

===

Fans had been left wondering, and checking social media all day, as New Jersey’s The Gaslight Anthem were scheduled to play The Midland in Kansas City as part of their reunion tour, their first since a 2015 hiatus (and not counting some brief 2018 dates), but singer-songwriter Brian Fallon had lost his voice at their Salt Lake City show, forcing a cancellation in Denver, and three subsequent days of rest for this, their potential first show back.  

The good news was that Fallon’s voice (though still raspy on the edges) had returned, and helped propel their ninety-minute set, with the band leader as verbose and talkative as always, despite the setback.  The set would start gently, with an almost whispered first verse of 2014’s “Get Hurt”, but quickly ramp up from there.  

“Last time you were pissed at me, now it’s Denver!” Fallon emoted after a couple songs in, saying he felt he got maybe too much rest mostly sleeping for the last three days, so seemed to be making up for it, by engaging audience members in conversation and espousing whatever was on his mind.

Other Fallon-speak topics covered included The Walking Dead/ Norman Reedus hair, Aaron Judge / NY Yankees, The Strokes, the NFL, Brooklyn/Jay-Z, The National, KC BBQ, Freebird, diabetes, and many others.  

“Get Hurt” was even dedicated to Fallon’s time in Colorado, referring to his bed rest and the show cancellation.  2008’s “High Lonesome” cribs a Counting Crows lyric and it was with 2007’s “Wooderson”, that Fallon called an audible and the band began to start veering from the printed setlist.  “The Patient Ferris Wheel” was played via a fan request, and another fan had made an elaborate, lighted sign to request the song, “Halloween” which Fallon noticed right before the band was to play it anyway.

The encore-less set would end with the one-two punch of 2012’s “45” whose “see you on the flipside” lyrics Fallon dedicated to openers Tigers Jaw, who are on the last dates of this leg, and an extended version of the band’s biggest radio hit “The ‘59 Sound” with Fallon asking in verse, “Did you hear your favorite song, one last time?”  From the crowd’s loud reaction all night, it’s safe to say they did.  

===

Gaslight Anthem at The Fillmore, Minneapolis, MN (09/24/2022)

By the start of the third song the lead singer of The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon, had a perplexed look as he gazed down to the set list at his feet.  Fallon has a nimble, fluid-thinking mind and he thought out loud why he would have picked the third song as the third song.  He blamed it on his throat which was at 30% and felt like it was dragged to hell by the devil, himself.  He then went onto an extemporaneous jag that touched on not smoking pot, watching the Walking Dead in his hotel room, props to the crowd and venue, shout-outs to The Replacements and the underrated Soul Asylum and how it is agreed upon that everyone in the venue hates Tom Brady.  At least that’s what I caught.  Oh yeah, also no refunds for the rasp in his voice.

Tigers Jaw opened up the evening with two lead vocals: Ben Walsh also playing the rhythm guitar and Brianna Collins playing the keyboard.  Based in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the band is fronting the first half of the tour and it was nice to see co-lead vocals, especially Collins airy voice and keyboard accents lofting above the guitar-driven chords of the rest of the band

Tigers Jaw played “Old Clothes” a new EP to be released October 28^th, then followed with “Plane vs Tank vs Submarine” from their debut album from 2008 which gathered big applause from the sold out crowd that showed up early.  “Hum” had a nice distortion transition into “I Won’t Care How You Remember Me.” They finished strong with “Commit”, “Guardian” and “Anniversary” with lyrics which seem fitting for the ailing lead singer of the next band:

I'm doing alright, I'll give it a try anyway

Kansas City Setlist “Minneapolis” Setlist

Fallon finally figured it out by the seventh song.  The little “huh” that bugged him when he looked at the set list earlier was actually the set list from the previous show in Kansas City.  Fallon then grabbed his smart phone and consulted with members of the band.  He wanted to let the audience know that even though blame would not be assigned, nobody currently on the stage made the mistake and whoever did was buying everyone dinner the next night. 

And while Fallon and the band launched into “The Queen of Lower Chelsea” a stagehand scurried about with the updated list. 

After “Miles Davis and the Cool” and a brief, subtle cover of Mother Love Bone’s “Chloe Dancer”, it was full, wide-open rock starting with “Stay Vicious” and “American Slang” and ending with the triumphant couplet of “45” and “The 59 Sound”. 

Fallon told the crowd they were going right up to the curfew, and they weren’t going to waste any time with an encore.  He wasn’t a fan of encores.  He said that only a few bands should practice them.  He mentioned Metallica and The Beastie Boys. 

For a man with 30% of a voice he sure provided a lot of opinions, the kind of sage rock wisdom that told a fan who shouted for Paul Westerberg’s “Dyslexic Heart”: “No”.

Read more Kansas City Music Guide.

September has been more like “Rocktember” with a busy month of shows so far, but Rocktober next month looks busy as well, so use those concert dollars wisely.

The pandemic lockdown still has ripple effects, from re-scheduled and postponed shows to artists taking time off for their mental health well-being. Rising star KennyHoopla was one of those, supposed to play The Truman this week but writing, "I need to take this time to focus on myself and my mental health. I will be back soon - a stronger human and artists for myself and all of you. Once again, I apologize.”  We wish him the best.

Here’s what’s happening in the Kansas City/Lawrence, KS metro September 19th-25th.

Those shows were eventually postponed because of the pandemic, but the reunion tour is now in full swing. Pavement broke up in 1999 and reunited for the first time in 2010. ‘We are just going to play these songs together, we like each other, and so this will be familiar”, leader Stephen Malkmus has said.

Electro-pop/sound collage openers Annalibera are led by Anna Gebhardt who emerged from a classical music background in 2015 and latest album Moon Bath, was made in collaboration with producer Philip Rabalais.

Kiss the Tiger, Bottleneck- Lawrence, FREE

We’re fans of the Minneapolis indie alt-rock band whose third studio release, Vicious Kid, is out now. The band began in late 2016 and has been gradually gaining more attention ever since, named a “Picked to Click” band by former alt-weekly City Pages in 2019. We just caught them here in February, so are glad to see they are returning and with a free show. KC funksters Supermoto to open.

Of all the shows taking place in Minneapolis on September 19, you’re probably at this Tenacious D show at Surly Brewing Festival Field. Of course, it’s sold out, making this one of the hottest ticket in town.

Acclaimed rock duo Tenacious D will be celebrating their delayed celebration of their platinum-certified self-titled debut album, which came out in September 2001.

People love the band, thanks to their two superstars: funnyman Jack Black and Kyle Gass.

We last wrote about the band in our Sex Sells: Comedy Edition: “What is up with the censoring of Tenacious D's third album, Rize of the Phoenix? I had no issues with the album artwork, but I guess people are sensitive to these sort of things. It would've been less subtle if they had just called the album "Rise of the Penis", you know?”

Tamino

first-avenue.com

The last time we heard from Belgium’s Tamino, he was enjoying some sold out shows in late 2018. That show was recorded and released as Live at Ancienne Belgique, featuring a cover of “Seasons” by Chris Cornell, and a special appearance by Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, playing bass on “Indigo Night” and “So It Goes”.

We are told that Greenwood will be joining Tamino on this 2022 USA tour…. so Radiohead fans, here’s your chance to say hi.

Update: I don't want to get anyone's hopes up... although we were told Greenwood will be joining Tamino at the Fine Line, there are no official announcements (and given that Greenwood wasn't at the Philadelphia or other US shows), let's assume that, for now, it's just Tamino on a solo tour. Apology for the confusion.

Tamino’s forthcoming album Sahar will be out September 23rd on Djinn/Secretly Distribution.

Patty Griffin
with Parker Millsap
at Pantages Theatre
first-avenue.com

Having just wrapped up a co-headlining tour with Gregory Alan Isakov in October, two time Grammy winner Patty Griffin will be doing a few live shows in 2022.

Griffin’s latest self-titled album came out in 2019 on PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. The deeply personal album made it on the top 5 debut on Billboard’s “Independent Albums”. The record won a Grammy for “Best Folk Album.”

Support will come from Oklahoma-bred, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Parker Millsap, who recently toured in support of his album Be Here Instead.

We caught Millsap in Sep 2021 and wrote, “A lot have changed with the fifth album Be Here Instead, which marked a stylistic shift from folk / old time music to more experimenting with pedal effects and drums focused. This may have something to do with his departure from writing all his songs with his guitar and notebook, to asking his live band to work with him.”

Popular singer Brian Fallon just played the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on Saturday night, March 19th. Although Fallon is known for being the singer, guitarist, and songwriter for The Gaslight Anthem, this particularly tour is actually half The Horrible Crowes show (based on the songs they played). Unfortunately, no Gaslight Anthem songs were performed... but that didn’t disappoint anyone in the audience.

Jared Hart

Opening up the show Jared Hart, who normally front a band called The Scandals (who opened up for Gaslight Anthem last year). Hart also double as an additional guitarist for Fallon.

Hart’s 25-min set featured a Bob Dylan song, “Forever Young”. The story he told was he found the song as a bookmark in a Dylan book just by accident. He was really afraid to cover it... but built up the confidence to start covering the song a few days ago.

Hart also mentioned that he almost missed the plane because he spent the whole night with the Crowes’ drummer at a casino in Wisconsin. The story was later brought up again by Fallon on his set, giving Hart a hard time... but really just poking fun at the whole thing. Clearly the band was having a great time on the road.

Austin Plaine

Austin Plaine got a massive fanbase in Minneapolis, thanks to the fact that he’s actually from here. The fans were loud and often chanting something like “AP” (or “Eddy”?), clearly indicating that they were only here to show support for Plaine. Plaine, at first was grateful, but eventually got a little annoyed by the chanting and said, “Shut up, I’m trying to talk here.” The fans immediately quieted down, letting the singer introduce the band: Spencer on drums and James on guitars.

Plaine’s 35-min set showcased a lot of songs from his debut album, but throwing in a Tom Petty cover (“Listen to Her Heart”) and also a newly written song called “Rise Above It.” He ended the set with his lead single, “Houston”. While the recorded version is a little sad and somber, when Plaine played it live, it sounded more upbeat and optimistic (thanks to the speedier drumming and additional guitars).

Based on Plaine’s growing fanbase, I would say keep an eye on this one. He’s going places (let’s hope it’s not to Houston...)

Brian Fallon

Like Plaine, Brian Fallon is incredibly popular, thanks to his various projects like The Gaslight Anthem, The Horrible Crowes, and Molly and The Zombies. Fans would often follow him from town to town, at least there were ten or more fans who were also at Fallon’s Wisconsin show the night before. About half Fallon’s set were The Horrible Crowes, but two Molly and The Zombies songs (“Red Lights” and “Smoke”) were thrown in, and making up the rest of the set were songs from Fallon’s solo album Painkillers (Island Records).

Fallon heavily interacted with his fans, even having a one-way conversation with a fan, at the beginning of his set. At the end of the conversation, he summarized the story for the audience: the fan’s brother made a custom T-Shirt with Fallon’s face on it. That’s dedication.

Setlist

Not listed on the set list is an impromptu singalong to The Jeffersons’ Theme Song, “Movin’ On Up”. Surprisingly, Fallon knew most the lyrics.

A NOFX cover “Linoleum” was also played, but instead of trying to out-punk the Orange County punk band, Fallon’s version is a little more acoustic.

Overall, the show was really meant for fans of Brian Fallon or The Horrible Crowes. If you were going to the show hoping to hear some Gaslight Anthem songs, you’re out of luck... but as we previously mentioned, no one really minded because they’re all having a good time.

Fallon’s debut solo album Painkillers is out now on Island Records.

With only some city exceptions, the entire “An Evening with Greg Dulli” has sold out. Dulli is pretty happy about the upcoming tour (which kicked off a few days ago). If you’re not familiar with Greg Dulli, he is the singer/songwriter for The Afghan Whigs.

The strangest pairing, storyteller, comedian, poet and literary stylist Derrick Brown will open the show. We’ve covered a few music/comedian shows, and it’s always a surreal experience.

Brown is the winner of the Texas Book of The Year Prize (2013) for his poetry, published in Strange Light (Write Bloody Publishing). The poetry compilation book is a cosmic love story and part auto-biography. I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up a copy at the Cedar show this Saturday.

Sydney's Bag Raiders is in the USA, touring in support of Checkmate. The title track off the EP featured angelic vocals from Benjamin Joseph, lead vocalist of SAFIA. Previously, the duo (Jack Glass and Chris Stracey) teamed up with renowned collage artist, Alexandre Coll to create a stunning, psychedelic video for Bag Raider’s track “Waterfalls.”

Opening up will be Plastic Plates. The producer came to our attention when he remixed Sia’s first single “Alive” off of This is Acting. When asked about the remix, he said that, “Sia and I first met in Sydney 2001. Sam Dixon and I shared an apartment in Bondi and Sia crashed at our place. Until 2010, I played drums on Sia's albums and toured around the world in her band. This is my 3rd remix for Sia, 'Cloud' in 2010, 'Chandelier' in 2014 and now 'Alive.' Given our musical history, reinterpreting Sia's vocals is effortless and pure joy for me.”

They've grown in terms of fanbase since their Fine Line Music Café days, and will be playing the main room at First Avenue this Wednesday.

W♥M136: Matt Pinfield

W♥M136 (18 mins)

We ♥ Matt Pinfield. With over 25 years of experience as a radio DJ, television VJ, Pinfield is truly "The Rock and Roll Encyclopedia".

Pinfield is part of Skype's "Join Say it with Skype" upcoming competition to be the Skype house band. This is a great opportunity for young musicians to showcase their music and win a professional studio recording. Judges (and later mentors) will include Matt Pinfield, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) and Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic).

Here's how it works:

• Using a laptop or computer with a webcam, log into Facebook
• Add the Join Say It With Skype app
• Find the "submit a URL of your band" and hit "record a live performance"
• The next step is to just rock out.

IMPORTANT: Bands can submit their entries on the Skype Facebook page until Thursday, June 14 at 11:59 P.M. EST. Winners will be selected and notified on Tuesday, June 19 via email and will be announced publicly on Monday, July 9 at 9:00 A.M. EST.

Besides from "Say it with Skype", Pinfield also talk a little about Dave Kendall and 120 Minutes, how he consume his music (he has a record player in his kitchen).

Song of the show is Gaslight Anthem's "45", which is Matt Pinfield's favorite song at the moment.

Keep up with Matt Pinfield on twitter, he's currently started MTV's The Hivecast with Matt Pinfield (they're on episode #1 with Mark Ronson), he's on "terrestrial radio" with Cumulus Media-produced "Flashback" show (which is carried by 200 stations, including 92 KQRS), and is working on a book.

BONUS:
• Matt's hilarious Prince story, plus Bob Mould.

• I should also mention that I use the standard Skype phone and computer application all the time, but not so much the Facebook's "Say It With Skype" app. As part of the research, I did check it out by sending a birthday greeting with our favorite Ash band. It's really cool, I even got to put in my own text in the message:
