Glasgow’s The Fratellis is back in Minneapolis. You may recall that we went to Chicago to see the trio in November 2013: “After a five year absent from the music scene, The Fratellis are back with a brand new album We Need Medicine. The Scottish band is currently in the middle of a tiny, tiny U.S. tour in support of it, and basically selling out every venue they booked!”
Now, in 2018, the group is back in the U.S. to promote their new album In Your Own Sweet Time (Cooking Vinyl), and, of course, have been selling out a ton of dates.
Brighton’s duo Blood Red Shoes (Steven Ansell & Laura-Mary Carter) to open.

The Great Good Fine OK and Smallpools co-headlining 2018 tour will be stopping by the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown this Thursday.
We’ve seen both bands a couple of times, and was pretty excited to see Smallpools on their first national tour in July 2013: “From my understanding, this was Smallpools' very first national tour, so they were quite excited to play Minneapolis for the first time. They seem like a really new band, playing songs from their Have a Great Summer EP (including "Over and Over" and the set closer "Dreaming").”
Tour dates:
BISHOP BRIGGS
+ Matt Maeson
First Avenue
Fri 05/11/2018 (7pm/$25)

London-born, Los Angeles-based Bishop Briggs is headlining the Go Show at First Avenue on Friday. Jordan Alamat, the DJ from radio station Go 96.3 will be hosting the event.
This isn’t Briggs’ first Go Show, in fact, she headlined the radio station’s show last year, in April 2017, which we wrote, “Born with the name of Sarah McLaughlin, it’s not surprising that London transplanted LA singer-songwriter goes by the stage name Bishop Briggs and the crush of the crowd could hardly wait for her hour-long headlining set, in support of her self-titled debut EP (on Island Records). The pony-tailed artist, in black skirt and oversized Members Only-style zippered jacket hardly stood still for the entire hour, bouncing about from side to side, constantly engaging the crowd to jump along with her.”
Show up early to check out Matt Maeson, who recently released his EP The Hearse on Neon Gold / Atlantic Records. Fans of Jeff Buckley’s hypnotic voice should take note.
Tour dates:
CHRIS SMITHER

This new record is the musician’s first album of original songs in six years. Of course, he’s taking the new album and his 50+ years of music on tour... stopping by the Cedar Cultural Center this Friday, May 11th.
