LUCY DACUS
+ And The Kids, Adult Mom
7th Street Entry
Wed 04/04/2018 (7pm/$12/Sold out)
first-avenue.com
Lucy Dacus was recently pick of SXSW roundtable from Brody, who said she was incredible. Dacus will be stopping by the 7th Street Entry on Wednesday to promote her sophomore album Historian, available now on Matador Records. The show is sold out.
In an in-depth New York Times feature/interview (at nytimes.com), they cover everything from her outspokenness about about feminism and how she’s always reading about 5 books at a time.
And The Kids and Adult Mom will open the show. We previously saw the former with Highly Suspect in Apr 2017 and noted, “Normally a quartet (Hannah Mohan, Rebecca Lasaponaro, Megan Miller, Taliana Katz), I believe for their live shows, they’re only trio (minus Megan Miller on keys)... as with their previous appearance in April 2016, opening up for Ra Ra Riot.”

Which is lovely, if you want to hear those songs. Even Weird Al warned fans before purchasing tickets:
In case you haven’t heard the rumors… THIS WILL NOT BE OUR NORMAL KIND OF TOUR....
No costumes, no props, no video screens, no computer servers. We’re just going to walk out on stage, sit down on stools, and play a bunch of old songs. Oh, and we’re going to be performing almost exclusively originals (i.e. not parodies). The deep cuts and obscure tracks. The songs that were never hits. The ones you barely remember.
