Little Dragon

The last time we saw Sweden’s Little Dragon was in May 2015 and we said, “I'm happy to report that Little Dragon is all grown up. Since we last saw the Swedish band in November 2009 …

There’s actually a couple of Little Dragon news. The band released Slipping into Color EP on Ninja Tune, and went on a world tour last year with April + Vista (who collaborated with the EP).

Little Dragon (28 May 2015)

The Grammy-nominated Swedish band didn’t play Minneapolis last year, but we did see them in May 2015, and said, “I'm happy to report that Little Dragon is all grown up. Since we last saw the Swedish band in November 2009 (six years ago), the band has grown in terms of sound, stage, and fanbase. With the larger stage of First Avenue's mainroom, the band had custom diamond light setup with a massive backdrop image. Musically, the band is doing more dance club, even tribal, sound. This music appeal to a new larger legion of club music ... only a little more diverse with various ethnic groups.”

Also there is a new Little Dragon cover song “Constant Surprises” by London-based, mixed heritage singer, producer and rapper Miso Extra.

Speaking about “Constant Surprises”, Miso explains, “I adore the band Little Dragon and the lyrics in this song particularly resonate with me as I am often prone to daydreaming. To me this song serves as a beautiful reminder to count my blessings.”

Imagine Dragons

With over 14,000 fans in attendance at Imagine Dragons last appearance in Minnesota, I can tell you that the band has massive appeal to a younger demographic. …

The Super Bowl is taking place this Sunday. This year, the National Football League of the United States will be in Las Vegas, and they’ve already scheduled Usher to play their much-watched halftime show… much to the disappointment of fans of Imagine Dragons, who actually is from Las Vegas.

That still didn’t stop the band from raffling off two tickets to Super Bowl 58. The grand prize winner (Rebekah M. from Sacramento) won a round trip travel and three nights at a hotel, plus a $500 gift card.

Rebekah wrote, “I donated because I love helping out organizations that have causes with PURPOSE, selfishness of donating towards something bigger than yourself is amazing and you could only hope to spread some love.”

Proceeds from the raffle will benefit Imagine Dragons’ Tyler Robinson Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer patients and their families.

Thanks to Imagine Dragons and Fandiem.com for organizing the raffle.

Game Of Thrones

With bitterness of the last two seasons of Game of Thrones still fresh in my mind, I wasn’t looking forward to the prequel House of the Dragons… or as the kids are calling it, “Hot D”. Going into House of the Dragons .…

House of the Dragon
hbo.com

In many ways, House of the Dragon made me love George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones again. The last two seasons of the original television show was so awful, it really made people embarrassed for recommending the show to friends.

With HotD, it resets the board. We’re introduced to brand new characters, taking place 150 years before the first season of Game of Thrones. All of these characters in HotD are new to us, and the first season of House of the Dragon, sets up a great story.

If you didn’t know, it tells the story of a king’s children who ends up in a civil war to claim the throne. Each side of the family believes they are the true heir.

What sets HotD apart from Game of Thrones, is that in this timeline, dragons, although rare, exists and commanded by the Targaryens family. We know that after the civil war, that all the dragons died out.

Anyway, we’re excited about the upcoming new season. HotD will be back with Season 2, available sometime this Summer 2024.

According to winteriscoming.net, HBO is currently re-shooting scenes for HotD, mostly indoors filming. They did note, “That said, we've wondered if these reshoots in particular were complicated by the fact that most of the second season of House of the Dragon was filmed at a time when Hollywood writers (and then actors) were on strike. The strikes shut down productions all around the world, but the House of the Dragon shoot was allowed to continue, mainly because the bulk of it took place in England, which is governed by different, more anti-competitive labor laws than is the United States.”

MGMT

This MGMT band needs no introduction, since their formation in 2006, the duo (Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden) has been a favorite among hipsters. …

MGMT
whoismgmt.com

“Bubblegum Dog,” is the second single from MGMT’s album Loss Of Life. The music video accompanying video, directed by Julia Vickerman and co-host Tom Scharpling, finds MGMT’s Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser paying tribute to numerous scenes from classic ‘90s alternative videos.

“We all saw the video for "Bubblegum Dog" as an opportunity to combine the charming, DIY, surreal, cardboard craft aesthetic of shows like Yo Gabba Gabba and The Mighty Boosh with these ultra-serious grunge videos we grew up watching on MTV – all that heavy, brooding angst smashed up against absurd childlike fun,” Vickerman and Scharpling say.

“Ben and Andrew are legitimately funny guys, so we were excited they got to really go for it with their acting, paying homage to the eternally moody mid-90's rock stars they looked up to when they were kids,” they continue. “They were completely game for everything, playing around with different wigs/costumes/personas/facial hair and continually chiming in with new ideas along the way. That was a wonderful feeling, because it let us know they were having a good time. For the climax of the video, they let us shoot gallons of pink slime at their faces, which we appreciated. Ben got quite a bit in his mouth, which was unintentional … but he thought it was funny, so then we were allowed to think it was funny.”

You can watch the video on YouTube.

Loss Of Life will be coming out February 23, 2024, on Mom + Pop Music. The upcoming record is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Little Dark Age.

Reverend and the Makers

Ed Cosens
twitter.com

Ahead of Blue Monday, Ed Cosens releases “Doghouse,” the follow-up to last October’s release of Black Dog, which came out on World Mental Health Day.

“‘I’m in the Doghouse again… the couch is my only friend.’ This song exists for and because of those moments where you know you’ve messed up, totally put your foot in it, but that unshiftable male pride or sense of misplaced righteousness is only making things worse,” says Cosens. “It’s time for a good dose of damage limitation and to know when to shut up, just bloody apologise and pray for redemption. But you fear the worst. Maybe just maybe you’ll be forgiven… maybe.”

If you don’t know who Cosens is, he is in Sheffield’s Reverend and the Makers and co-wrote the UK top ten single, “Heavyweight Champion of the World”, which we said in Jan 2008, “"Heavyweight Champion of The World" was the first single from them, released last May. I love this song, and lately it's been playing nonstop on my iPod since Reverend and the Makers's debut album The State of Things, released September 2007 (I actually don't have their album because I refuse to pay $31 for an import). ”

Cosens will soon be announcing details of his highly anticipated sophomore album and accompanying tour.

Lost Dog Street Band
lostdogstreetband.com

Nashville’s Lost Dog Street Band (band leader Benjamin Tod, fiddler Ashley Mae, upright bassist Jeff Loops, drummer Ben Duvall, and pedal steel player Tebbs Karney) will be heading out on tour in 2024.

Tod is excited about the band lineup, “I am excited to share our new full band on the road. Adding Ben on drums and Tebbs on pedal steel opens me up so much for expression. I’ve had to hold back so much the last few years in hindsight. Being able to really pull back on my guitar playing allows me to focus in on my vocals. It helps when I’m on stage now that I can actually feel the music and get into the music being played.”

The band was last seen in the Minneapolis/St Paul area in Jan 2017 with The Devil Makes Three, “Expect plenty of singalong on this North American tour, which began in September and will end this February 2017. Husband-wife duo Lost Dog Street Band (guitarist Benjamin Tod and fiddler Ashley Mae) to open.”

Mammoth WVH (13 Mar 2022)

We saw Mammoth WVH in Mar 2022 and noted, “While he exclusively played bass in Van Halen, in his own band WVH stuck to guitar with some light dabbling on the keyboard (similar to his late father), stating he brought the keyboard along “because I don’t want to play tracks” and emphasizing the “real sound” coming from both bands performing this night.”

Carlie Hanson and Baby Fisher (not to be confused with Bobby Fischer) to open.

Carlie Hanson (12 Mar 2023)

We saw Carlie Hanson in Mar 2023 and said, “She explained on stage that, although she’s living in Los Angeles now, her heart belongs to the Midwest. In fact, her mother, her sister, and her girlfriend, were all in the audience, making the 7th Street Entry show somewhat of a homecoming/family support show for Hanson.”

Slaughter Beach, Dog (21 Feb 2020)

We saw the band in Feb 2020 and wrote, “Opening the evening was the curiously named Slaughter Beach, Dog, a Jake Ewald side project that sprung from the ashes of Philadelphia’s Modern Baseball, who are currently on an indefinite hiatus. After going it alone for two records, last August’s third full-length album Safe and Also No Fear (Lame-O Records/Big Scary Monsters) goes even farther into acoustic indie-folk and is the most different from his former band’s sound, though Ewald has now formed a band around himself, including MB bassist Ian Farmer and Superheaven drummer Zack Robbins.”

John Oates
at Dakota Jazz Club
dakotacooks.com

The legendary John Oates is making a stop by the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis this November 6th. Oates, the other half of Hall & Oates fame, will be playing an early and late show.

Oates co-wrote some of your favorite songs, including “Out of Touch”, “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)”, and “Maneater” (which surprisingly made an appearance in the recent Jennifer Lawrence film No Hard Feelings).

Although Oates is under no obligation to play those hits, I’m sure he’ll tell stories about how those songs came to be.

Those stories can also be read in Oates’ memoir Change of Seasons, which was published on March 28, 2017 by St. Martin’s Press.

As usual with these Dakota Jazz Club shows, show up early and grab some food before the event. The show will start on time, so don’t be late.

Tour dates:

Chicago rock band Horsegirl recently released their debut album Versions of Modern Performance, available now on Matador Records.

The all-girls trio, featuring singer/guitarist Penelope Lowenstein, guitarist/singer Nora Cheng, and drummer Gigi Reece, is currently touring in support of the debut album.

We caught the band early in post-pandemic concerts on July 8, 2021, and wrote, “So, the funny thing is that this was an 18+ show, meaning that members of Chicago’s Horsegirl could not legally attend the show on their own. However, as performers, it’s perfectly fine. This was Horsegirl’s first tour, but you wouldn’t know, seeing as how seasoned they seem on stage. We’ve seen old, established bands screwing up and goofing around, so it was nice to see such a young band taking their shows seriously.”

American folk singer/songwriter Nina Nastasia will be releasing her first album in 12 years, called Riderless Horse, on July 22th, via Temporary Residence. The vinyl will be released in November.

Nastasia wrote:

Riderless Horse is my first solo record, and it's the first record my former partner, Kennan Gudjonsson, didn't produce.I haven't made an album since 2010. I decided to stop pursuing music several years after my sixth record, Outlaster, because of unhappiness, overwhelming chaos, mental illness, and my tragically dysfunctional relationship with Kennan. Creating music had always been a positive outlet during difficult times, but eventually it became a source of absolute misery.Kennan, a cat and I lived in a studio apartment in NYC for 25 years, finding ways to survive while making records and going on tours. Our apartment was the place where people would come stay, eat, drink, play music, and use our tub. It was quite a home we had created, but it was decaying steadily from the moment we moved in, and in the end, it was as if black mold was growing beneath the surface, undetected, and the two of us were dying and getting too weak to ever leave. We loved each other. We were each other's family, but there was ongoing abuse, control and manipulation. We hid. We didn't want anyone to see how ugly things could get, so we increasingly isolated from our friends and family. We were lost.On January 26, 2020, I made the decision to separate and live apart, and on January 27, Kennan died by suicide. What a thing, suicide. I can only feel sadness and guilt about it. Maybe I'll have other reactions to it later on.Riderless Horse documents the grief, but it also marks moments of empowerment and a real happiness in discovering my own capability. Steve Albini produced this record with me, and Greg Norman assisted. The three of us are old friends, and we did a field recording in a guesthouse built like a lighthouse that two very dear friends of mine have in Esopus, NY. It was exactly the right environment to work on this record. We all had meals together, cried, laughed, and told stories. It was perfect. It made me realize how much I love writing, playing and recording music.Terrible things happen. These were some terrible things. So, what to do - learn something valuable, connect with people, move the f**k out of that apartment, remember the humor, find the humor, tell the truth, and make a record. I made a record.

03/20 Squirrel Flower with Tenci at 7th Street Entry

Tenci

My Heart Is An Open Field is a confident, deeply beautiful debut album from Chicago four-piece Tenci. These songs are filled with nuance- breaths of saxophone and flute, and touches of cello, piano, and pedal …

Squirrel Flower
squirrelflower.net

Since releasing her debut album, I Was Born Swimming, in 2019, Squirrel Flower (Ella Williams) has been featured as “Artist to Watch” on Rolling Stone, “40 Best New Bands of 2020” on Stereogum’s list, as well as various other top lists.

Planet is Squirrel Flower’s latest, the EP is available on Polyvinyl Record Co..

Squirrel Flower will stop by Minneapolis at the 7th Street Entry on March 20.

Tenci to open. We previously saw them in Aug 2021 and said, “Opening up the show was Chicago-based musician Tenci, on their last appearance with Valley Maker. The band, led by Jess Shoman, features saxophone player, guitarist Curt Oren, drummer Joseph Farago (of Joey Nebulous), Isabel Reidy (of Izzy True), were both sad and grateful for being part of the tour. Sometime when we see bands near the end of their tour, you get the impression that they’re exhausted… but not with Tenci. The band seemed like they would be forever happy if they just kept traveling town to town talking about “snakes”.”

Animal Collective
myanimalhome.net

Influential experimental band Animal Collective are back, and they’ll be stopping by First Avenue on March 21st, as part of their tour for their new album Time Skiffs.

We last saw Animal Collective at Desert Daze (in California) in Oct 2019 and wrote, “… electro-psych band Animal Collective’s set did not disappoint. They opened up with the old school tune from 2005’s Feels, Banshee Beat, fronting stunning visuals of disco dancing girls and hearts. These guys played a bunch of new material, a few being “Gem and I”, “Bolder”, and “Strangers”. Another, “DownDownDownDown” was one that was rare and unreleased. The trippy background art was ridiculous, the one with hands almost holding onto each other being my favorite. Their encore performance was “For Reverend Green”, which they hadn’t played in 12 years.”

Opening will be L’Rain, who we saw in Oct 2021 and said, “Opening the show was Brooklyn’s L’Rain (Taja Cheek), playing to a flower decorated mic station. The American experimentalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer was recently added to influential Pitchfork’s 25 Next List. They are saying that these artists are shaping the future of music.”

Thing with Feathers
ttwfband.com

Nashville-based band The Thing With Feathers will stop by the Icehouse in Minneapolis on March 2nd. I've mentioned this before, since the Icehouse is a cafe in the daytime, their shows don't actually start until the business is closed... meaning shows generally starts at 10pm.

Thing With Feathers' new EP, Sundays in the South is out now on Fat Pipe Recordings/Kartel Music Group.
