THE COATHANGERS

All-girls punk trio The Coathangers is back in town, this time headlining the 7th Street Entry to support their new EP Parasite on Suicide Squeeze Records. There is a limited pressing of only 2,000 copies (with one-sided 12” etching on Sea Green vinyl), so be sure to grab a copy when you see them on this tour.

The last time we saw them in 2015, we wrote, “The band seemed to be having as much fun as the crowd. All members had come to the stage equipped with beverages including a bottle of wine. CK joked that they were allowing themselves a drink every two songs, but after a few tunes the “rule” didn’t stick and she started taking healthy swigs out of the wine bottle whenever she wanted.”

Residuels and Killmama to open.

Comedy duo Tim & Eric (Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim) is currently on a “Tim & Eric 10 Year Anniversary Awesome Tour!”

We previously caught Tim’s sold out comedy show at the Cedar in 2015 and wrote, “The first part of his show is truly unique to our show, he's written a few Minneapolis-specific jokes, including buying "mini-sodas" and "mini-apples". The Minneapolis music jokes of Hüsker Don't and the original Replacements got a big laugh. Of course, when the obvious choice of Prince came up, he said there was just too much respect there to joke about.”

Read More Social Distortion Not to brag, but I saw Social D in 1992(?) in Fresno, California. They played a tiny club and changed the line in "Ball & Chain" from "county jail" to "Fresno County Jail" and got a huge roar from the audience. … Joshua Radin “I feel like I’m playing to 12 people”, Joshua Radin exclaimed at the beginning of his intimate performance at the Dakota Jazz Club, a stop on his brief three week Wax Wings VIP Tour … Ryan Adams I discovered via Stereogum, that Ryan Adams blogged about his decision to stop making music (and to stop blogging) and then later went back and deleted the blog.

GRACE POTTER
at Minnesota Zoo

Monday, 08/08/16, 7pm ($47)
suemclean.com

The last time we saw Grace Potter, she played at the State Theatre in October 2015 and we said that the seated show was just the wrong venue for her. Her fans are interested in dancing, and these seats just felt awkward.

I guess Potter is just exploring her options and she’s back, this time at another seated outdoor amphitheater at the Minnesota Zoo. If you miss her on Sunday, she will appear again on Monday night.

In typical zoo shows, they end before 10:30pm, so it’s not to disturb the animals at the zoo.

Brynn Elliott will open. He was previously was in town in April 2016 with Parachute.

PRINZE GEORGE

Maryland’s Prinze George is a trio consisting of instrumentalist Kenny Grimm, singer Naomi Almquist and drummer Isabelle De Leon. The band is touring in support of their debut Illiterate Synth Pop album... and stopping by Minneapolis next Wednesday. Minneapolis is somewhat special to the group, as they’ve started to record the record with Evan Bakke (Prince, Fraea, Soul Asylum) at Sounds Expensive Studio in Minneapolis, during last year’s harsh winter. Of course, it was left unfinished and the band would return a few times, inbetween touring with Albert Hammond Jr., Little Boots, Walk the Moon, etc., to finally finish recording in early 2016.

Lady Midnight is listed as opener.
