New York artist VÉRITÉ will be headlining the 7th Street Entry on March 10th, 2023. She’s been on a long North American tour with Fletcher… but will now be headlining her own tour starting in March.

Vérité at 7th St (25 May 2016)

We saw VÉRITÉ in May 2016 and wrote, “When Vérité came on stage, playing ‘Echo’, she immediately felt love from her dancing section (aka her biggest fans) in the front. The fans previously saw her with Ms Mr last October 2015, and raved about her modern love songs. Vérité always made sure she appreciated people for showing up to her show, “I’m so happy to see you all here.””

Wisconsin’s Carlie Hanson is on a headlining tour, stopping by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis, in support of her sophomore album Wisconsin. Taylor Swift is a fan, and included Hanson’s demo “Only One” on her list of favorite songs of 2017. Recently, the young singer teamed up with boundary-pushing, multimedia artist Groupthink with their song “Miss Carolina.”

Carlie Hanson (17 Oct 2018)

For twenty minutes, we accidentally saw Carlie Hanson at the Troye Sivan show (she wasn’t on the bill!) in Oct 2018 and wrote, “First on the lineup was Carlie Hanson (who was a surprise as she’s not listed on the venue’s website). Hanson is joined by a live guitarist (sorry didn’t catch his name) and typically shirtless Tosh Peterson (Tosh the Drummer). Since her set time was so short (20 minutes), there was very little banter between songs. We did learn that she’s from St Croix, Wisconsin, and mentioned that some of her best friends drove all that way to see her in Minneapolis.”

Support from: Halo Boy has a new album called Sim City.

Senses (stylized as senses) is described as a punk influenced pop-rock band – making addictive pop songs like "Sleepwalking". The band originated in Los Angeles when singer Madison Taylor met guitarist Josh Bissell and drummer Nick Sampson on Craigslist.

For 24-year-old singer/songwriter Maddie Zahm is headlining the Amsterdam Bar & Hall in St Paul on March 12. The Boise-bred artist recently released her debut EP You Might Not Like Her, a project that intimately documents the massive upheaval she’s experienced over the last year: a life-changing journey that includes leaving the stifling church community where she long served as a worship leader, losing weight, moving to Los Angeles and coming out as queer.

Her single, “Fat Funny Friend” was a viral hit, amassing over 75+ million streams, and is about per personal trauma, her sexuality, and her relationship with her body.

corook, aka Corinne Savage, to open. The Pittsburgh-born singer/songwriter/producer has many talents, including the ability to solve a Rubix cube in under a minute.

Country music artist Morgan Wade will be headlining First Avenue on March 11, 2023.

Officially Wade has one album Reckless on Thirty Tigers, but she has way more songs in her music catalog… thanks to unreleased songs and her self-release Puppets with My Heart (under The Stepbrothers) in 2018.

The American country music singer is based out of Floyd, Virginia, and began writing songs as freshman in college. When performing at FloydFest, Jason Isbell’s sound engineer gave her record to guitarist Sadler Vaden, and with his help, they put together Reckless. The record charted number 14 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers charts.

The hit album was re-released as a Deluxe Album in early 2022, with six bonus track… one of them being a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds”.

Nate Fredrick to open.

Lucy Rose at Turf Club (12 Oct 2017) - Postponed

UK’s Lucy Rose was actually meant to headline at the Turf Club in 12 Oct 2017, but legendary The Jam singer and songwriter Paul Weller asked her to join him on tour (of course we caught Rose with Weller last October) - it was such a great opportunity that Rose couldn’t resist and had to put her Turf Club show on hold.

Now that the Weller tour is behind her, Rose will finally be headlining in support of her third record Something’s Changing (Arts & Crafts).

Show up early to check out London’s Charlie Cunningham.

Originally booked at the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, the show was upgraded to the Cedar Cultural Center. But even with a slightly larger capacity, the show still sold out, thanks to the popularity of young Irish singer Eden.

We caught Eden (Jonathan Ng) in Sep 2016 and noted that he “has a very passionate following. They try and decipher everything from musical intro to what kind of shoes he is wearing.”

As for support act Vérité, we saw her first headlining gig in May 2016 and she definitely has her own fanbase (called “her dancing section” in front of the stage).

Vérité’s debut album Somewhere in Between is out now on Kobalt Music Recordings.

French singer Lætitia Sadier (from Stereolab) is back in town, this time billed as the Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble. Her latest record Find Me Finding You is available now on Drag Records.

We previously caught Sadier in 2012 and noted, “Lætitia Sadier came to the 400 Bar in Minneapolis, last night, in support of her latest album, Silencio, out now via Drag City. For those not familiar with Sadier, she is, or rather was, the main singer of Stereolab, a band from London. The band was mostly known for loungey keyboard pop sound with Sadier's distinctive French accent (either sung in French or English).”

MIDNIGHT OIL
at First Avenue
Tuesday 08/29/2017 (7pm/$50)
first-avenue.com

The legendary, politically-conscious Australian band Midnight Oil will be making a rare appearance in Minneapolis on Tuesday (over 15 years!). The time has come, a fact's a fact!

If you’re wondering about the long gap in touring, the band broke up in 2002 when vocalist Peter Garrett decided to focus on a solo career.

The Oils reformed in 2009 for a few one-off gigs, but only as of February 2017, did they decide to embark on “The Great Circle 2017” tour. All initial U.S. dates were immediately sold out. Luckily, the band decided to add a few more dates before they call it a day. The iconic group’s last stop on the 2017 tour will be at First Avenue.

To celebrate their return, the group is releasing a new box set to coincide with the tour. The Vinyl Collection will contain all their studio LPs and EPs, plus CDs and music videos.

Melbourne’s The Living End will open.

Tour dates:

08/19 | The Greek Amphitheatre | Los Angeles, CA
08/21 | Terminal 5 | New York, NY
08/23 | Place des Arts | Montreal
08/25 | Budweiser Stage | Toronto
08/27 | House of Blues | Cleveland, OH
08/29 | First Avenue | Minneapolis, MN

Legendary English punk/rock band The Damned is celebrating their 40th Anniversary with an upcoming U.S. tour. Since the influential band don’t really make their way to Minneapolis that often, I feel this is a very important show that you should be aware of. Of course, their many fans agreed, and the show is long sold out.

Expect to hear all chart-topping singles on this tour, including fan-favorites, ‘Love Song’ and ‘Smash It Up’.

No opening band is listed on the venue's website, but the poster lists Bleached. We've been a fan of the sisters in Bleached since 2012 when they opened up for Veronica Falls.

Vérité (aka Kelsey Byrne) to open. We previously caught the singer on May 2016 and wrote, “With help from Andrew on drums and Mike on guitars/keys, Vérité basically played almost everything that she’s ever written... and even throwing in a Childish Gambino cover song ‘Sober’ to reach her headlining 45+ min set. However, based on her fans and Vérité’s drive to write heartfelt electropop songs... she’ll be back again soon...” Vérité’s album Somewhere in Between is out now.

THE WEDDING PRESENT

turfclub.net

Truly it will be the gift that keeps on giving when Leeds quartet The Wedding Present drop by the St. Paul next Saturday, April 22nd for an intimate show at the Turf Club. The Present has been doing their thing now for over 3 decades, effervescent rock with a post-punk flair featuring the delightful British drone of lead singer and only original member David Gedge. Though the band has gone through several line-up changes, one thing remains the same: those fuzzy melodies were made for blasting out your car window while driving the city watching the flowers bloom. Check out The Wedding Present’s newest release 2016’s Going, Going… which was one of my favorites of 2016! But don’t neglect the band’s impressive back catalogue, including Seamonsters (1991), an album recorded at the famous Pachyderm studios in Cannon Falls with your boyfriend’s favorite producer, Steve Albini.

Colleen Green, billed as Colleen Green Band, will warm up the show. The Wedding Present loves these guys, and after seeing her (complete with Vuart) in September 2015, we can see why.

Hip-hop music was the name of his game and he was slaying the competition.” $19.

04/23/17 Sam Rae will be stopping by the Warming House in Minneapolis this Sunday, April 23rd, in support of her record Bring Us To New Islands (to be released April 21st). If you’re not familiar with the venue, this is a small, self-described as a “listening room”. Holly Munoz to open. Note: Show is at 3:30pm. $10.

04/23/17 Chaz Bundick (of Toro Y Moi) and psych-jazz duo The Mattson 2 are touring, billed as Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2. The collaboration group will be ending their tour at the Triple Rock Social Club this Sunday. Spin described their music, “between a George Benson and an Al Green.” Madeline Kenney is listed as opener. $15.

04/24/17 COIN (not to be confused with Japanese band Coin) is back at the Triple Rock Social Club next Monday. The band was previously in town at the Go Show in December 2016, and we said “Closing with the kissing anthem ‘Talk Too Much’, the song has received heavy airplay and obviously the crowd’s ear, as they sang along with the band at each chorus.” Coin's How Will You Know If You Never Try will be available everywhere April 21. Arizona to open the show. Yep, the band’s not from Arizona, but it’s definitely a better sounding name than “New Jersey”. $15.50.

MARIAN HILL
at First Avenue
Thursday, 10/06/16, 7pm ($20)

Philadelphia electro jazz duo Marian Hill will be headlining First Avenue’s mainstage this Thursday, October 6th, this is quite an upgrade from their previous appearance at the sold out 7th Street Entry in October 2015, which we described as “The tiny 7th Street Entry venue was completely packed with young college students, in love with everything they've heard from Marian Hill. It was incredible to watch the entire audience grinding and swaying to their saxophone-heavy songs... which has been written is described as "sax-ual" music. I would also add in a little dubstep, grime, and electronica.”

They would have played longer at the 7th Street Entry show, but they actually ran out of songs... hopefully with their debut album Act One out now, they’ll be able to properly play a longer set.

Vérité will be one of the openers. We saw Verite (aka Kelsey Byrne) in May 2016 and noted she wrote “heartfelt electropop songs”.

Also on the bill is electropop trio Shaed, featuring twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst and singer Chelsea Lee. The band just released their six-track debut EP Just Wanna See via Photo Finish Records.

Whitechapel’s latest Mark of the Blade is out now on Metal Blade Records, an album which has “evolved naturally” according to guitarist Alex Wade: “At this point in our career and as we grow older, we are taking a more open-minded approach to creating our music, allowing what we think sounds good to evolve naturally, rather than to just write what is expected of us.”

Vérité talked about the EP, “Living was written …

Vérité (aka Kelsey Byrne) just played her first headlined gig in Minneapolis last Wednesday, May 25th, at the 7th Street Entry, in support of her new EP Living.

Dance Assault

Opening up the show was local Dance Assault, a duo led by singer/synths Carson and drummer Kenneth (the last time we saw them, they also had an additional guitarist). Their brief 30-min set was similar to their show in 2015, which included ‘Feel It’ and ‘The Power.’

Lost Boy Crow

Next up was Los Angeles’ Lost Boy Crow (stylized as LostBoyCrow), who played a selection of his EP Sigh For Me, including ‘Love Won’t Sleep’.... plus, he threw in his brand new single ‘Thursday’.

The singer/songwriter’s sound can be described as a dark R&B.

Vérité

When Vérité came on stage, playing ‘Echo’, she immediately felt love from her dancing section (aka her biggest fans) in the front. The fans previously saw her with Ms Mr last October 2015, and raved about her modern love songs.

Vérité always made sure she appreciated people for showing up to her show, “I’m so happy to see you all here.”

Setlist

With help from Andrew on drums and Mike on guitars/keys, Vérité basically played almost everything that she’s ever written... and even throwing in a Childish Gambino cover song ‘Sober’ to reach her headlining 45+ min set. However, based on her fans and Vérité’s drive to write heartfelt electropop songs... she’ll be back again soon and will likely play even longer. Of course, with a smaller catalog of songs, she understandably did not come back on stage after her set closer ‘Weekend’.

Vérité’s Living is out now... her remaining tour dates below:

Vérité (the stage name for Kelsey Byrne) will be in Minneapolis next Wednesday, May 25th, in support of her new 2016 EP Living.

Vérité talked about the EP, “Living was written in the wake of 'Sentiment' and after the first tour. It was the first time I had been able to dedicate all of my time to the project and writing. If I'm being honest, it was really uncomfortable and oddly exhausting and forced me to over analyze my writing and process in a way I wasn't used to. The EP takes these tiny moments and magnifies and over analyzes them until they are unrecognizable. The idea was to present an unadulterated look into how my mind works. Sonically, I tried to elevate and push away from what is traditionally 'alternative electro pop' or whatever labels I had been associated with. I worked with a different producer for each song, which in the beginning was unintentional but became a challenge. The goal was to tie in those conflicting perspectives to sound like one cohesive voice. Ultimately this started as an experiment in how to deal with and interact with time. Hoping that people can resonate with it in any way.”

Lost Boy Crow (stylized as LostBoyCrow) to open. The Los Angeles singer/songwriter recently released ‘Thursday’ single, which you can hear via soundcloud.com.
