THE HANDSOME FAMILY
handsomefamily.com
I saw The Handsome Family last year, little did I know that this band will become really popular because of HBO's True Detective series. Having seen the pilot, it's hard to ignore that wonderful song ("Far From Any Road" from 2003's Singing Bones).
So, here's your chance to catch The Handsome Family on August 18, 2014, at Loring Park for Free. Their performance is followed by Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (which I already own on Bluray, but I might try and make it to this event).
The annual Walker's Summer Music & Movies series takes place every Monday from August 4-25, here's the breakdown on bands and movies:

MIRANDA JULY
mirandajuly.com
I remember the first time I saw Me and You and Everyone We Know, I couldn't get that "pooping back and forth" icon out of my head. So, that, in a nutshell, is what I thought of Miranda July, who wrote, starred, and directed that 2005 film. She seemed quirky on screen, so I wonder if she's just as weird in real life.
July will be making two 'future' appearances at the Walker on October 30 and 31st (yes, Halloween). The show is described as:

July will be making two 'future' appearances at the Walker on October 30 and 31st (yes, Halloween). The show is described as:
Take a room full of total strangers, add in an eccentrically charismatic guide, and begin a charmingly evocative experiment in public collaboration. In her return to the stage, performer/writer/filmmaker Miranda July mines the banal and mundane elements of our lives and unearths humor, lyrical beauty, and surprising poignancy. July offers us a journey into the New Society—an elaborate concoction in a future to be that intertwines fiction and faith, audience and artist. It’s theater of the moment in the best possible sense, where each of us may play a part.
In addition to films, she also writes (her latest book is called The First Bad Man, to be published January 2015 by Scribner) and direct music videos (she directed Sleater-Kinney's "Get Up").
