It was a sold out show for The Mynabirds show last Friday, September 18th, at the 7th Street Entry.

Good Night Gold Dust

Opening up the show was Good Night Gold Dust with a 30 minute set in near darkness. The local band talked about how great Laura Burhenn's Ted Talk was and urged the audience to watch it as soon as they get home. Singer Laura Schultz immediately chimed in, "for the remainder of our set, can we just show that?"

Most of their set included songs from their 2012 EP, including the title track and set closer "Towards the Sun" (which they also closed at the July Talk show earlier in June), but the band also played a couple of new (unrecorded) tracks like "Broken Wing".

Bad Bad Hats

There was a strong turnout and buzz for local favorites Bad Bad Hats, who recently appeared on Stereogum and local station The Current. We caught the band in 2014 and noted that the band had a hit with "Super America" (based on the loud cheers and clapping for this song). At Friday's show, singer/songwriter Kerry Alexander introduced it by saying that in their vast travel with Mynabirds, that they've seen plenty of gas stations (she mentioned Kum & Go, Sinclair/Green Dinosaur... but no 7/11 or Circle K!), but their favorite has always been "Super America".

Alexander summed it by saying how grateful they've been touring with Mynabirds and how much they are learning from this experience.

Mynabirds (Vuart)

As for The Mynabirds, we saw them three times in 2012 (7th Street (22 Mar 2012), 7th Street (12 Jun 2012), and Turf Club (01 Nov 2012)) when they were doing heavy promotion for their Generals album. That was possibly a record for a non-local band. Anyway, at every one of those shows, singer Laura Burhenn wore a sort of fox hat... which I'm semi-glad to see that it's gone for 2015. Bonus: enjoy the Mynabirds vuart.

Of course, with the new record Lovers Know, The Mynabirds were more than happy to preview plenty of songs from the new album, including a block early in the set: "Velveteen", "Believer", "Semantics".

Burhenn told us that she moved to Los Angeles, but all her music was released by Omaha-based Saddle Creek Records (the label is famously known for Connor Oberst). She dedicated her new song "Omaha" (saving it for the encore) for the label and its love.

The Mynabirds (aka Laura Burhenn) is back on tour, this time supporting their latest album Lovers Know.

Her latest video is for "Wildfire", taken from the new album, and according to Burhenn, "The song "Wildfire" is partly based on that Jack Kerouac quote ("The only people for me are the mad ones..."), and finding your people. So it felt fitting to be in a town that's pretty new to me, but to feel totally at home in the company of these amazing babes. We made this video as an ode to making new friends and helping each other through dark times." (In the case of the video, a girl helped Burhenn conquer her real fear of roller coasters.)

We covered Trampled By Turtles' first ever Festival Palomino last year. It was such a great learning experience for us, and we had a great time... so much that it made it onto my top ten favorite shows from 2014 (out of about 180 shows).

If you are worried about missing some of the great lineup (including our favorite master hunter Laura Marling and rocker Benjamin Booker), no problem: you can see them all. There are two stages, so when one band is done - just walk (or turn your head) to the other stage. There is no waiting around while the band is setting up!

GOLDBERG
lightintheattic.net

Light in the Attic Records is re-releasing the 1974 album Misty Flats by Minneapolis singer/songwriter Goldberg (full name Barry Thomas Goldberg) this July 24th, 2015 (next Friday). Why, you might ask? Well for the first time ever, it'll be available on double LP, CD, and in digital format.

At the time of recording Misty Flats, Goldberg was 23 years old and his Minneapolis power pop group The Batch just broke up.

The album reflects upon Goldberg’s nomadic childhood, the vivid impressions the cinema left on him and also captures the spirit of a young man trying to finding himself post-Vietnam War. Goldberg remains to this day, working as an administrator for the Minnesota Twins baseball team.

The album comes out June 24th via Tone Tree. …

A lot of thought and planning went into John Mark Nelson's CD release Sings the Moon show at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, last night, June 28th.

Bad Bad Hats

Starting with Bad Bad Hats, who played a solid set consisting of their latest It Hurts EP (Afternoon Records) with some new songs. There were a lot of young crossover fans, who showed up early to show support for Bad Bad Hats.

Some of the new songs included "Joseph", which singer Kerry Alexander commented, "If your name is Joseph, then this song is for you."

Huge cheers were heard when "Super America" was announced, so you can tell that was the big hit for this young band.

Although they closed their set with an Alexander-solo song, "Things We Never Say", the rest of the band never left the stage.

John Mark Nelson with Charlie Pears

When the lights dimmed and the piano intro music started to play and then singer Charlie Pears (I'm awful at telling age, but he looks like he's 12) started the set with "Sings the Moon", you knew this John Mark Nelson show was special and was meticulously planned from the beginning.

John Mark Nelson

Right away, Nelson thanked the audience (which was a terrific turnout) and wanted to stressed that he never would take his fans for granted. As much as the show was about him, this was also made possible by his fans, family, the Cedar, and extended musician family. He made sure that we all knew his band (Carla on keys, Nate on the drums, Gabe "I'm Nervous" on secondary drums, Aaron on pedal steel, Ben on upright bass, Nic on bells, Matt on guitars) and consistently thanked us for coming to the show. He was so sincere that it was hard to not smile and feel good with him when he's playing and singing songs about the moon and stars.

John Mark Nelson with Ben Rosenbush

Also, the guests didn't stop with Charlie Pears, other local musicians, Ben Rosenbush played cello on "Shorebird" (which got a rather long story about how Nelson grew up in Excelsior and the analogy between his friends and a flock of seagulls taking flight) and Jeremy Messersmith on the encore song "All You Are" (who we recently saw at Rock the Garden, which we described as more confident with a large ten-piece band.)

With Messersmith, his appearance wasn't apparently enough, as we also got a bonus surprise of explosive confetti and a Conga line of trumpets, marching through the audience... making for a very satisfying ending to this special CD release for John Mark Nelson's Sings the Moon.

Sings the Moon is out now via Tone Tree.
