Mellowdrone frontman Jonathan Bates is back headlining as Big Black Delta. He is touring in support of his sophomore album Trágame Tierra (out now). The tour kicks off May 1st at the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis.

We previously caught Big Black Delta in March 2014 and wrote, “Tracks played during their 40 min. set were all from the debut, coursing with dark energy on the hitting ‘Put the Gun on the Floor’, with Bates jerking about while cuing up loops and beats, pacing the stage as Hornbrook drummed without abandon. ‘Side of the Road’ pulsed with laptop beats, while closer ‘IF**KINGLOVE YOU’ started somewhat gospel-centrically, before it unwound into an electronic melee of sounds and beats, to close their impressive set.”

Apollo Cobra and Dance Assault to open.

WHITE DENIM
at Turf Club
Sunday, 05/01/16, 7:30pm ($15/$17)
turfclub.net

White Denim, having recently released Stiff, is currently on tour.

We wrote about White Denim before they released their debut album in 2008: “White Denim is comprised of three men from Austin, Texas. They have a quite distinct rock sound, which immediately reminded me of The Hives and The Ramones. Their somewhat hard-rock/edgy tone produces some very catchy drum patterns.”

Eventually they came to town, and we were more than happy to check them out in November 2009 and noted, “crazy pyschedelic, garagey, experimental rock 'n roll - with minimal lyrics. Whatever singer James Petralli spouted out, it didn't matter because you were so in awe of his amazing guitar-playing ability.”

Opening the show will be multi-instrumentalist Sam Cohen. Cohen is formerly of Apollo Sunshine and leader of Yellowbirds. Cohen recently released Cool It, which Pitchfork said was “an American Lennon with some Dylan affectations”.
