The Jungle Giants at Turf Club, St Paul (04 Nov 2022)

Jungle Giants Setlist On Your Way Down She's a Riot Treat You Right Bad Dream Quiet Ferocity Something Got Between Us Feel the Way I Do Heartless In Her Eyes Sending Me Ur Loving Love Signs -- Encore -- Used to Be in Love Heavy Hearted Read More The Jungle Giants We last saw Australian four-piece The Jungle Giants open up for San Cisco on their National tour in 2012. The Brisbane-based band was at SXSW to promote their debut album Learn To Exist, which came out last August 2013. .... Tim Atlas Tim Atlas will open. Tour dates: 01/31 - Chicago, IL - Metro 02/1 - St. Paul, MN - Amsterdam Bar & Hall 02/6 - Boulder, CO - Fox Theatre 02/7 - Denver, CO - Gothic Theatre ....

Australian four-piece The Jungle Giants (singer/guitarist Sam Hales, lead guitarist Cesira Aitken, bassist Andrew Dooris, and drummer Keelan Bijker) headlined the Turf Club in St Paul, in support of their fourth album Love Signs (Amplifire).

Opening up the show was Los Angeles’ Tim Atlas, along with Dena on bass, and Zack on drums. You may have seen Atlas on NBC’s The Voice in 2015, as he cover Ed Sheeran, The Neighborhood and Ednaswap. Since then he opened up for Magic City Hippies, even stopping by St Paul in Feb 2020.

Best song on Atlas’ brief 35-min set was “Honeycomb”, a really catchy, ‘sweet’ dancey song.

We’ve been interested in Brisbane’s The Jungle Giants since their team-up with our favorite Australian band San Cisco in Feb 2012.

W♥M saw them on the “Politely Awkward” tour, at the Spectrum, in Sydney, Australia, and wrote, “While both bands were certainly polite, there was no awkwardness to be found when The Jungle Giants and San Cisco joined forces again at Spectrum last Saturday as they continue their tour of Australia. Although the bands are youngsters, both in terms of age of their members and the age of the band themselves, the quality of performances was such that it was unclear who was the supporting band (assuming you could have a support act that comes after the main act). The Jungle Giants performed known and new material, with frontman Sam Hales and bassist Andrew Dooris making the most of the tiny space that is Spectrum. Dooris managed to be everywhere at once and still play his instrument, while Hales delivered lyrics with precision and feeling.”

We’ve seen San Cisco nine times and the Jungle Giants zero times… so we’re almost sure they’ve never played in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

Since 2019, the Jungle Giants had quiet a few highly rated songs on Triple J’s Hottest 100, including “Heavy Hearted” and “Sending Me Ur Loving”, both on their set near the end and the best known song as the encore finale.

The Jungle Giants’ Love Signs is out now on Amplifire Records. The album was #1 on the Australia charts, and came out during the pandemic.

turfclub.net

The Twilight Hours (Matt Wilson and John Munson) is playing a sold-out show at the Turf Club this Friday, December 9th. We previously caught the band and mentioned that Matt Wilson, is, in fact, Dan Wilson’s brother. Matt is also the singer for the incredibly popular local group Trip Shakespeare.

Show up early to check out Chicago-based supergroup The Flat Five, featuring Kelly Hogan, Nora O’Connor, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, Alex Hall.

We saw Kelly Hogan in 2013 when we mentioned that ““I know it’s a school night,” Kelly Hogan joked to a very enthusiastic Turf Club crowd before thanking everyone for coming out to the show. Weeknights plus zero degree weather can really kill the music-watching spirit, but those who braved the elements last night were treated to a spectacular set from Atlanta-native singer and songwriter Hogan and her excellent back-up band of Nora O’Connor, Casey McDonough and drummer Gerald Dowd. ”

Chicago’s Ministry will be headlining the Skyway Theatre this Saturday. For many years, original singer (and currently only the original band member) Al Jourgensen said that a band reunion would never happen... but the band did re-unite for the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2012. After a year of touring for their new album Relapse in 2012, long time guitarist Mike Scaccia passed away. Cesar Soto (former member of Pissing Razors) is their current guitarist.

If you grew up in the 90s, when industrial metal genre was starting out, you would have loved Ministry, alongside Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, and many other bands in this genre.

The upcoming Skyway Theatre is described as the First Annual Minneapolis Toxic Air Festival and the event starts at noon! It’s more bang for the buck, but I’ve never heard of a fan enduring 12 hours of music mayhem! Most fans will likely arrive around 8pm, in time to catch Otep, Mushroomhead, and headliner Ministry.
