MUMFORD AND SONS
mumfordandsons.com
After a brief health-related delay that caused them to miss Bonnaroo, UK band Mumford and Sons has resumed their Summer arena/amphitheatre Tour, to great reviews and sold out shows. The London band, formed in 2007, rode the wave of alternative folk artists and has shot up in popularity in recent years, headlining major international festivals and in support of their latest release, Babel (Island/Glassnote), which won Album of the Year at February’s Grammy Awards.
The All English Tour also brings along London alt-country trio Bear’s Den and West London indie-rock buzz band The Vaccines, as support openers. The tour commenced again this week in Toronto and their Sept. 4th date in St. Paul is highly anticipated, as the Twin Cities market was one of the first to embrace the band, starting with its opening set at the tiny and now-defunct 400 Bar in 2008.
Expect a bombastic show and maybe a surprise cover song or two during their encore—tickets have long been sold out and were difficult to obtain all along, as the band employed an online invitation system, in hopes of thwarting possible ticket scalping.

THE VACCINES
thevaccines.co.uk
Opening up for Mumford and Sons on a number of dates are The Vaccines. The band recently released a new EP called Melody Calling, which came out two weeks ago (August 13th).
I have been listening to the EP and I can tell you that the band is maturing as a band. Their new EP is a more melodic, almost a gentler, softer sound to the band. Are you worry that this is a new 'serious' Vaccines? No worries, they have that one fun, "Do You Want a Man". Hear the remix of "Do You Want a Man" via Soundcloud. Try not to sing along to the catchy chorus: "Do you wanna a man? I could be your man."
