WHITE REAPER
at 7th Street Entry
Monday 05/01/17, 7pm ($10)
first-avenue.com
Kentucky’s White Reaper is back in town in support of The World's Best American Band (Polyvinyl Records).
The last time we saw them in 2015, we noted, “I couldn't help but be completely captivated by keyboardist of White Reaper. I don't think there was a second where this guy was standing still. He was all over the stage and it was honestly hard to keep track of him because I wanted to watch everything else going on at the same time. He seemed to be a bit of a goofball and would play the keys with his teeth and lick the bass guitar in between songs. It sounds dumb but it really did add to the fun factor of this show. Like I said, if the band looks like they are having fun, the crowd is more apt to have fun.”
No Parents will open.

SLOWDIVE
at Palace Theatre
Tuesday 05/02/17, 7pm ($25)
palacestpaul.com
English shoegazing band Slowdive is back in Minnesota. The trio (Rachel Goswell, Simon Scott, and Neil Halstead) now has added two additional players: Nick Chaplin and Christian Savill.
We previously caught the band when they re-formed in 2014 and wrote that it was one of our most memorable shows from October! Since the band played Minneapolis on Halloween, they were all dressed up in costumes: “Anyway, Halloween shows are always fun, because half the fun of watching the band is also watching the audience for some great costumes. Usually bands will come on stage in costumes, but for Reading-based Slowdive, they went all out! Not only was everyone, including the audio techs and sound engineers, dressed up, but they went the extra mile and dressed their stage with various Halloween fun like cobwebs, handmade pirate flags, skulls, pumpkins, candies! This tells me the band are really committed to show us a good time!”
Japanese Breakfast to open. We saw the band in Sep 2016 and wrote, “Japanese Breakfast played their new album, Psychpomp, from front to back which was definitely a treat. These guys have a super unique and fun sound but and to be able to hear and see them play this in album in its entirety definitely raised the bar. None of the songs sounded the same which was refreshing. Each song had a different feeling to it and a different energy. There's some slow songs, almost ballad like songs, some fast ones, and their signature closing song about falling in love with a robot that has a very electronica feel to it.”

Other shows in the area:
04/29/17
American Football is touring for their second album American Football (Polyvinyl Records), stopping by First Avenue on Saturday. S. Carey and Aero Flynn to open.
7pm, $25.
04/29/17
Toronto-based artist, composer and producer Lydia Ainsworth is headlining the 7th Street Entry this Saturday. This is her first-ever headlining tour, in support of her album Darling of the Afterglow.
Dem Yuut and Eric Mayson to open.

04/29/17 Timber Timbre is playing the Cedar Cultural Center on Saturday.
Show up early to check out alt-country Canadian collective The Wooden Sky.
We saw the Wooden Sky in 2015 and said, “Canada's The Wooden Sky was up next, playing songs from their latest album Let's Be Ready, which Dena called "soothing and upbeat".
While they mostly just played straight through their set, they did pause a minute to dedicate "Baby Hold On" to the Replacements and how three members of the band went to see them on their first show in Toronto.”
7pm, $15.
05/02/17 The Pines is playing at the great Hopkins Center For The Arts in Hopkins, Minnesota.
We previously saw the Pines in 2013 and wrote, “The mellow night started off with special guest Dave Simonett, of Trampled By Turtles, doing a solo set. In contrast, The Pines had a full band with them. Then about four songs into their set, they added a mandolin player, as well as a cellist. It was really funny, because the scarecrow they had behind them almost fell down a couple times. I have seen them about three times, and I have to say it was a good performance. They commented on how they love playing at the Cedar.”
6pm, $25.
05/02/17
Australia’s Pond is back at the Turf Club in St Paul.
I believe the last time they were in town was in 2014 with Doctopus.
This time they are bringing fellow Australian Kirin J Callinan.
7pm, $15.
