 Ty Segall
Manipulator is the latest album from Ty Segall. Segall will be back in the Twin City at the Turf Club in St Paul this Wednesday, September 24th.

 Feels
Get a load of our first local release from our new home in east LA: native Angeleno 4-piece Feels and their debut self titled LP. Slanted scuzzy guitar interplay, a little grrlish swagger, flashes of raw emotion

 Royal Brat
Local queer punk core Royal Brat opened up the show. This was the trio's first show ever. Note: the band features Clara Salyer, from Prissy Clerks and currently in Whatever Forever (with Red Pens' Howard Hamilton).

 Mikal Cronin
I've grown to know about Mikal Cronin as bass/vocals for Ty Segall (one of my favorite garage band acts). He has released a few solo albums that are amazing. There is this awesome

Wand
Again, Los Angeles' Wand is not to be confused with Canadian band Wand (who was forced to change their name) or Denmark's The Wands or Japan's Wands. They also suffer from same-name/similar-sounding

TY SEGALL & THE MUGGERS
with Feels / Royal Brat
at First Avenue
Wednesday, 03/09/16, 7:30pm ($20)
first-avenue.com
Man, the last time I saw
Ty Segall, we were on a boat and Redd Kross’ Steve Mcdonald was on bass! There was maybe about 100 people on the small boat, and it was pretty rad. You can read all about it here:
NXNE 2011 (Saturday).
Segall’s eight studio album
Emotional Mugger came out this year via Drag City Records, and, of course, is on tour to promote the new album. Apparently his new live band will be called
The Muggers, featuring: bassist
Mikal Cronin, guitarist Kyle Thomas, guitarist Emmett Kelly, and keys Cory Hanson (
Wand) and drummer Evan Burrows. Segall will play the part of “Sloppo”, a grown man wearing a baby mask.
Los Angeles’
Feels (not to be confused with Portland’s Feels, synth-trio The Feels, or New York’s The Feels, or Poland’s Feel, or London’s The Feeling) is also on the bill ... which, incidentally, they were
in the news recently for an awful reason. A Feels fan got stabbed to death during a Feels-headlined show at the Underground DTSA (on Thursday, March 3rd).
The band, of course is devastated by the news and wrote:
We watched as the fight broke out, crashing onto the stage knocking mics over while the second band played, saw fists flying and more and more people dog piling on to try to break it up but still had no idea... then there was blood on the floor, cops and paramedics, the whole show was shut down of course, but still when we left we were under the impression that he was stabbed in the shoulder and was going to be fine.
Waking up this morning and finding out that he died in the hospital... There are no words. We are sending all of our love to the spirit of Nathan, his friends and family. We seriously hope that the murderer is captured and prosecuted to the fullest.
Local queer punk core
Royal Brat to open the show (the band features Clara Salyer, from Babes in Toyland, Prissy Clerks and Whatever Forever). The new-ish band promised to showcase some new songs for this show.

TORTOISE
with Mind Over Mirrors / Dosh
at Cedar Cultural Center
Wednesday, 03/09/16, 7pm ($18/$20)
thecedar.org
Chicago’s
Tortoise has been making music since 1990, and some critics have said that the band is behind the development of the post-rock movement (others have argued that Tortoise is only influenced by progressive rock that preceded them). Still, it’s hard to ignore that in their 26 years, that the band definitely has made an impact on experimental, post-rock, and progressive music. Since many of their shows are part improvisation, familiar songs may sound completely different than whatever they previously recorded.
Tortoise’s seven studio album
The Catastrophist is out now on Thrill Jockey.
Opening up for Tortoise will be Chicago’s
Mind Over Mirrors (aka Jaime Fennelly) and local
Dosh.

RED BULL SOUND SELECT PRESENTS:
ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER
at Triple Rock Social Club
Wednesday, 03/09/16, 9pm ($3/$12)
triplerocksocialclub.com
Oneohtrix Point Never (a.k.a Daniel Lopatin) will be continuing his tour, following the release of
Garden of Delete on November 2015 via Warp Records.... and the tour starts this Wednesday at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis. We saw him
in 2013, and wrote that he was “ambient minimalist.”
The Triple Rock Social Club show is one of the great
Red Bull Sound Select shows, which we have previously attended in the past. They are basically awarding you for RSVP (with will cost $3). For lazy people it will cost you $12 at the door. So it’s highly recommended that you RSVP now. Bonus: You get a Red Bull with purchase, so that $3 is basically you buying a Red Bull.
Highly recommended if you were on the fence about going.
Leisure Birds and
Psymun to open.

 Carly Rae Jepsen
Based on this song, Carly Rae Jepsen doesn't seem to be very different from other pop stars. She has a decent voice, she looks perfectly prim on the artwork for this song and the lyrics of this song could have been written

varsitytheater.org
The “Call Me Maybe” singer
Carly Rae Jepsen sold out her appearance at the Varsity Theater this Wednesday. Although some people may have dismissed her as a one-hit-wonder, it would appear that her new single “I Really Like You” is top 5 in the UK and top 10 in Japan.

JOSEPH
with Tyler Sjöström
at Turf Club
Wednesday, 03/09/16, 7pm ($12/$15)
turfclub.net
The problem with the name “Joseph” is that it is too common. For example, there is a British DJ billing himself simply as Joseph, etc. The American (Portland, Oregon)
Joseph band is actually three sisters: Natalie, Allison, and Meegan. They’re named after their grandfather.
We previously caught the sisters in
2014, and wrote, “They harmonize as only very close family members can achieve.... I got the impression that the sisters were very fun to be around.”
