Father John Misty
with Suki Waterhouse
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

J Tillman, or aka Father John Misty, is headlining the Palace Theatre in St Paul on September 30th.

We caught the singer several times, writing in Festival Palomino 2015, “Any award for sardonic wit and snarkiness has to be given to Father John Misty (aka Josh Tillman), who also delivered a soulful hour-long set that had him in the crowd several times, making an indelible impression. Tillman dressed all in black, with a crack five-piece band, referred cheekily to the venue a couple of times as the “Minneapolis dog-fighting pits”, which got a big laugh.”

Suki Waterhouse to open.

Moore Kismet will be headlining the Loft at the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis on September 30th, in support of their debut album Universe (Thrive Music).

“‘UNIVERSE’ is a musical culmination of my life experiences, growth as a human being, and artist over the past 17 years of my life. For 5 years (2018-2022), I spent countless days and sleepless nights working on what I would consider to be the best Moore Kismet project to date. It’s an album about acceptance, love, chaos, unity, and figuring out your life while trying to live it. If there was any project I’ve ever made for this project that serves as the best retelling of my life,‘UNIVERSE’ is that album.” - Moore Kismet

Whitney at First Avenue, Minneapolis (17 Oct 2019)

Whitney at First Ave Whitney Setlist Polly No Matter Where We Go Giving Up Dave's Song On My Own The Falls Rhododendron Forever Turned Around Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Neil Young cover) Golden Days Before I Know It Follow -- Encore -- Used to Be Lonely Southern Nights (Allen Toussaint cover) No Woman Valleys (My Love) Read More Whitney Newcomers Whitney (not to be confused with the late Whitney Houston) to open. Whitney is led by drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich, previously from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. ..… Lala Lala Chicago’s Lala Lala (Lillie West, Karla Bernasconi, Abby Black) opened up the show. The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. …

Chicago band Whitney headlined First Avenue in Minneapolis on October 17.

Opening up was Lala Lala, the music project of songwriter Lillie West. The interesting thing about West is that she was raised in London, but her family relocated to Los Angeles, when she was a teenager. She got deeply involved in the Illinois music scene, while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

We first saw Lala Lala in October 2017 and said, “The band had a DIY girl rock sound to them and their music seemed to fit in really well with the Girlpool audience. They ended their brief 30-minute set featured many songs from their debut record Sleepyhead, ending with ‘Future Flower’, a song that they’ve confessed had never been attempted to play live before.”

We saw them again earlier this year, in March 2019 and wrote, “The band’s downtempo sound amid often dark lyrics is still evolving and hearing the new single early in the set, helped prove that. West reminisced after playing it, about coming to Minneapolis just after forming the band, and playing a memorable house party, marked by someone casually walking around in a Mozart costume.”

Lala Lala played a combination of their 2016 debut Sleepyhead and their new album The Lamb (Hardly Art), including single “Siren 042” on their 40-min set.

Whitney closed out the show. The most interesting thing about this Chicago band is that their singer is actually their drummer, Julien Ehrlich. We saw the group in May 2016, stating “The second they took the stage, there was something familiar about them. Come to find out that two members of this band (Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich) are actually former members of The Smith Westerns (RIP). These guys had joined forces with members of a few other Chicago groups to form Whitney.”

We soon realized that, in fact, the band is actually from the ashes of Smith Westerns… who we saw in August 2013: “Smith-Westerns took to the stage after 10 pm and kicked in to “Fool Proof,” off of Soft Will. The guys played well despite the oppressive heat (lead singer Cullen Omori, who was dressed in an ultra-thin, billowy shirt, looked like he might melt under the stage lights) and end-of-tour fatigue.”

Still relatively new in their 2019 tour for their brand new album Forever Turned Around (Secretly Canadian), the band seemed eager to play on stage. They were all handsomely dressed, complete with a full backing band.

Looking at their setlist, you can see that they played their new single, “Giving Up” early, with a nice cover of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”, midway in their set.

Wild Nothing (aka Jack Tatum) just headlined the Triple Rock Social Club on Monday, May 2nd, in support of his third album Life of Pause.

Charlie Hilton

Charlie Hilton opened up the show. Charlie is a female singer with a backing band that made me feel like I was by the beach in California or something. The music was calm and soothing throughout the set but still had some sort of energy to it that is unexplainable. Her haunting voice was absolutely beautiful and enough to stop you dead in your tracks. You can check out her newest album, Palana, out now via Captured Tracks.

Whitney

Whitney was the second act to play Monday night. The second they took the stage, there was something familiar about them. Come to find out that two members of this band (Max Kakacek and Julian Ehrlich) are actually former members of The Smith Westerns (RIP). These guys had joined forces with members of a few other Chicago groups to form Whitney.

Whitney's music is groovy and poppy but it's so much more than that and hard to categorize. You have a trumpet in back blaring along to the driving keyboards that are going on. You have the two keyboards battling it out in a war of beautiful sounds. Then you have the guitars and bass doing their thing and acting as the glue for the group. All of this was exciting enough to watch but then you had the singer/ drummer (Julien Ehrlich) front and center. There was really no chance of me watching anything but him.

The way he is able to drum and sing with a steady and quite beautiful voice without getting winded and out of breath just baffles me. He sat there for a good forty minutes playing non-stop and his voice never faltered. His voice belongs in a boy band but his look and charm belongs in an indie rock band. It was the perfect mix of the scenes and kept their set relevant and their band current.

Whitney's debut album Light Upon the Lake is due out early next month but was available for purchase at the show last night. Also, if you order the album online (in CD/ vinyl/ or cassette form) you will receive it May 22nd, two weeks prior to the true release date.

The show was headlined by Wild Nothing from Virginia. This band is just as hard to categorize as Whitney but they even throw in a little 80's synth pop to the mix.

Wild Nothing is the brainchild of Jack Tatum (Jack & the Whale/ Facepaint). Tatum is the founding member, songwriter and the sole performer on Wild Nothing's albums but he brings a group with him on the road. This adds a strange dynamic to the group because each member seems to interpret the songs differently which makes the music much deeper than you would think a group like this would be.

Wild Nothing has three full length releases out including Life of Pause which was just released on Captured Tracks in February of this year. The group did a great job of playing songs from each album. It was nice that you couldn't really tell what album or era each song came from. It all blended nicely and let you know that this band is staying true to their style and not going anywhere anytime soon.

WILD NOTHING

Wild Nothing (aka Jack Tatum) will be making a stop at the Triple Rock Social Club on Monday, May 2nd in support of his third album, Life of Pause. This album was recorded with Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Vetiver) and packs a punch.

Tatum previously played in Jack and the Whale and FACEPOINT but has found his success with Wild Nothing (est. 2009). It's easy to tell why Wild Nothing received "Best New Music" from Pitchfork back in 2012 and ended up on many year-end lists. Come see for yourself!

Newcomers Whitney (not to be confused with the late Whitney Houston) to open. Whitney is lead by drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich, previously from Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

RONIIA / CROSS RECORDS
at 7th Street Entry
Monday, 05/02/16, 7:30pm ($8/$10)

Cross Record is not a record label, but the stagename for Emily Cross. She has just released her sophomore album Wabi-Sabi (Ba Da Bing Records) and currently touring with her husband and bandmate, Dan Duszynski, in support of the record. Although I believe this is her show, she’s actually not listed as the headliner.

Closing out the event will be local Roniia (stylized as RONiiA). This is the group lead by Nona Marie Invie, who you may know was from the popular Dark Dark Dark group.

Guest Maggie Morrison will open the show.
