Minneapolis: November 1, 2015

It's hard to believe, but we are finally out of our overwhelming 62 shows coverage for Rocktober! Some shows are spilling into the first few weeks of November, so expect this month to start off strong (but will fade as the winter sets in).

Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on November 1, 2015.

We've seen former Men at Work singer Colin Hay a few times, including a recent appearance at Treasure Island Casino. Hay is really fun to see live, thanks to his stories from his incredible music career. And YES he has no issue playing Men at Work songs, which we love.

Hay's latest album Next Year People came out February 2015 via Compass Records.

New York's Here We Go Magic is back with a fourth album called Be Small (available now via Secretly Canadian). For a time, we thought the band broke up, especial with lead singer Luke Temple releasing and touring under his solo material... but with the new tour, it would seem HWGM going strong on their sixth year as a band.

The last time we saw Temple, he opened up for Blonde Redhead at the Varsity in November 2014. The last time we saw HWGM as a full band was at CMJ 2013.

Special guests Big Thief and The Counterfactuals to open the 7th Street Entry show.
