I thought they were the same band (also called Wild Child) that opened up for Iceage in 2013. The Minnesota punk band was ejected …

Austin based indie-folk band Wild Child stopped by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Sunday, touring in support of their latest album End of the World (Ranch Records).

San Luis Obispo’s Próxima Parada opened the show, playing songs from their album Kind Reminder (AntiFragile Records).

The last time the band was in town, it was headlining their own show at 7th Street Entry on Feb 25, 2020 (with Stanley as opener) so it’s easy to see that the band had more than enough material to play a nearly one-hour set.

The band seemed jam friendly, with Nick Larson’s laid-back style and attitude, as they sing songs like “So Many Ways to Get Downtown” (a song inspired by Grandma Larson’s quote), and “Begin Again”.

Highlight of their set was for (what I think was announced as) “Pray for Home”, in which near the end of the song, Larson told the story about how he dislocated his arm in tracks and ended up sitting on the sideline and meeting John from Wild Child. That’s how they met and wouldn’t you know it? John came on stage to help the band finish the song out. Apparently, this was the first time the two bands collaborated on this song like this, and based on the good feedback from the audience, I’m sure they’ll repeat this setup again.

They also debut their first-ever Spanish song, which I heard as “No Necesito”

They ended their set with “Musta Been a Ghost” with the keyboard player from Wild Child joining on stage, followed by their finale, “24 Brand-New Hours”.

Wild Child put some thought in their set. Walking on stage to Ennio Morricone’s “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” theme song was just Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins. Kelsey announced, “let’s do an old one!” as they played “Pillow Talk”. It’s a fan-favorite, as you find out when Kelsey would just let the audience finish her chorus.

Then the “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” theme song played again, as their newest band member, John Calvin Abney, walked on stage. This is interesting, because Kelsey and Alexander admitted that they needed a third songwriter (that’s John), because they would just write depressing songs. John brought a new, fresh approach to their songs, so they are grateful to have John as part of their songwriting family.

After “Sleeping In” was played, the “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” theme song played again, to introduce the bassist and keys. Kelsey explained that this was the first time they used Morricone’s song as a walk-on music. They previously used “Special Victims Unit”, but that was weird. They’re still debating the perfect walk-on music, so expect another song on the next show.

They closed out the show with “End of the World”, a fitting song to describe the last few years of COVID, and also the title track of their latest album End of the World, available on Ranch Records.

Bikini Kill
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

You guys know we love Bikini Kill. We often considered Kathleen Hanna as the one that started the whole Riot Grrrls movement… and we worship the grounds she walks on. We have followed her through her various projects, such as Julie Ruin and Le Tigre (our personal favorite).

One of the biggest disappointment when we heard the BK reunion tour in 2019 was that they weren’t playing Minnesota at all. Many diehard fans bought tickets to the nearest town in Wisconsin. For those who waited this long, and yes, through the COVID cancellations… We’re very excited to say that Bikini Kill will be finally playing Minnesota, in St Paul, at the Palace Theatre, this April 20, 2023.

Kathleen Hanna (09 April 2014)

We caught Julie Ruin in Lincoln Hall (09 April 2014) and wrote, “The importance of Grrl Power was emphasized when Hanna told the story of how she met guitarist Sara Landeau at a Girls Rock Camp. She told a funny tale of how the two of them were roadies for a girl band performance and how people watching them plug in the equipment and set-up the amps, etc. assumed they were bitchy stage moms, but “No, we’re roadies!” And she explained how during band camp, the girls write their own song and then perform it, and this band’s song was called, “Good Luck, You Suck”: “It was really good. We should cover it.” She was visibly touched when she was told that a couple of the teenage girls in attendance were current rock campers, and she talked about how she believes that the younger generation has their act together so much better than her generation – but that she hopes that her generation did a thing or two that will inspire the younger generation too.”

Can you believe it’s been nine years since Placebo was last seen in town? The band is touring in support of Never Let Me Go.

Placebo (16 Oct 2014)

And yes, we were there for Placebo in Oct 2014 and wrote, “Singer/songwriter/guitarist Brian Molko looked and sounded fantastic. Although original drummer Steve Hewitt left the band in 2007, I don't think anyone missed him on this tour... I have to say that new drummer Steve Forrest did an amazing job, spending the entire set shirtless to show off his various tattoos. The massive grin on his face tells me that this was a job that he love doing.”

Poppy Jean Crawford to open.

Illiterate Light will open the show. The duo (singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman and drummer Jake Cochran), is touring in support of their new album Sunburned, out now via Thirty Tigers.

The album’s single, “Hellraiser,” can be heard on YouTube and speaking about the song, Gorman said, “‘Hellraiser’ is not an autobiographical song. Much of our new record is autobiographical and emotionally intimate, but Hellraiser is a different beast. It came about while I was conducting a series of psychological experiments on myself after reading a chapter of the Red Book by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The song is a voodoo gumbo of my own subconscious grappling with uninitiated masculinity, pain vs pleasure, and a childhood love of horror films. I wrote the form and lyrics, Jake played keys and drums, and we embraced the studio in a new way, rejecting previous limitations we’d put on ourselves.”

Wild Child at 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (05 July 2016)

Read More Wild Child Austin's Wild Child will be in town in support of their third album Fools (Dualtone). I thought they were the same band (also called Wild Child) that opened up for Iceage in 2013. The Minnesota punk band was ejected …

The ‘wild, wild’ tour just took place last night at the 7th Street Entry with Austin’s Wild Child (not to be confused with rapper Wildchild or Brazil’s hard rock band Wild Child or local punk band Wild Child) as headliner.

We’ve previously mentioned that opener The Wild Reeds recently released a new three-song EP called Best Wishes.

Wild Child is a large Americana/indie band featuring singer/violinist Kelsey Wilson, vocalist/baritone ukulele Alexander Beggins, keys Evan Magers, cellist Sadie Wolfe, percussionist Tom Myers, bassist Chris D'Annunzio, and trumpeter Matt Bradshaw. The band was last seen in Minneapolis last October 2015 when they were headlining in support of third album Fools (Dualtone).

The turnout was pretty good for a Tuesday night (especially after the holiday), and they ended strong with set closer ‘Fools’. The passionate fans (many of them with war paint on their faces and singing along) waited around for the encore, which they were rewarded with ‘Left Behind’ and ‘Bad Girl’.

Fools is out now on Dualtone - their remaining tour dates below:

Austin's Wild Child will be in town in support of their third album Fools (Dualtone).

I thought they were the same band (also called Wild Child) that opened up for Iceage in 2013. The Minnesota punk band was ejected from the stage for throwing a bottle of water into the bar (and potentially harming the audience). The Triple Rock shut them down, and rightly so.

Thankfully, this other Wild Child is probably not as wild...

Band to be Wild

Read More Frankie Rose Frankie Rose (the drummer from Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, and Vivian Girls) will be doing some live dates for her Interstellar album (released in the US on February 21st, UK got the album last week). …

As you can see, we get a lot of emails. So please make sure you use the subject header effectively. I do a search by subject header going back to July and here are all the bands with a 'wild' side:

FRANKIE ROSE
missfrankierose.com

You remember Frankie Rose, right? We like her. After paying her dues in all these bands we like: Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, and Vivian Girls, Rose finally decided to go solo (or at least under the "Frankie Rose and the Outs" moniker, before opting to just simply go under her regular name.)

Anyway, following Frankie Rose's performance at Pitchfork, she announced that she recently signed to Fat Possum Records with a brand new record called Herein Wild "in the works". The pending release date is September 24th.

Can't wait that long to hear the new album? Good news, Rose recently shared "Sorrow", the first track from the forthcoming album on Souncloud.



Her next live date will be with Tamaryn at the Bowery Ballroom in New York on 09/23/13.

Iceage at Triple Rock Social Club, Minneapolis (04/07/13)

Read More Iceage Anything released on Matador Records is gold in my book. One of the latest Matador release this year is Iceage's sophomore album, You're Nothing … The Copenhagen four-piece punk band Iceage stopped by Minneapolis' Triple Rock Social Club last night, April 7th, as part of their tour for You're Nothing, out now on Matador Records. Here's the deal, punk shows are not my thing. I'm too old to be in front with the moshing crowd and I don't really know the Minneapolis punk scene. I assumed all three openers were from here, I know for sure Condominium is local because Megan had seen them before. The other two bands, Ex Nuns and Wild Child were both pretty hardcore. Wild Child was borderline screamo with lots of energy. They may have gone a little overboard by throwing bottle waters and cups into the bar and the audience. The sound guy cut their show early and the band was ejected from the stage. I hate to say this, but I'm on the venue's side on this one. People should not be throwing s*** around, you can really hurt someone. As for Iceage, I believe this was their second time at the Triple Rock (previously on tour in 2011 for their debut New Brigade). I think they do the same set every night because when they came on stage, they brought and took away their own personal setlist … which looked very weathered and torn. Singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt looked very emotional - yet with a blank uncaring stare that reminded me of Ian Curtis. Their music wouldn't really fit neatly in a punk genre; they seem to have a little self-loathing to their lyrics and sound. Of course, they played songs from the new record You're Nothing, including "Ecstasy", "Awake", "Coalition", the title track "You're Nothing", and the closer song, "Morals". vu ♥ weheartmusic.com ♥ iceagecopenhagen.blogspot.com
