One of the most successful recent alt-rock act The 1975 is returning to Minneapolis next Thursday, December 10th. Of course, as with all their previous Minneapolis appearances, the show is sold out. If you missed out on tickets... not to worry, they've already announced 2016 dates (at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in May 2016). Get the tickets now, as it is very likely the St Paul venue will sell out quickly.

Show up early to check out Birmingham's Swim Deep. Their album Mothers is out now on Chess Club / RCA Victor.

The Mixed Blood Majority's Insane World album release show is taking place this Friday, December 11th. Mixed Blood Majority is Crescent Moon (of Kill The Vultures) and Joe Horton (of No Bird Sing) and producer Lazerbeak (of Doomtree). I got a sneak peak of the album on their Bandcamp and have to say, these guys will be bringing the house down on Friday night. The new album is exactly what is to be expected from such legendary musicians and then some. The collective recently just wrapped up a tour with Doomtree.

Co-founder of Doomtree, P.O.S. (aka Stefon Alexander) and Grrrl Prty also on the bill. I have seen both acts numerous times and it's always an amazing time full of good times and great music.
