STARS
+ My Brightest Diamond
First Avenue
Sun 12/02/2018 (7pm/$21)
first-avenue.com
As many of you are aware, we’ve been massive Stars fans since the Nightsongs LP in 2001. Over the many years of seeing the Canadian band, we’ve come to understand that the band doesn’t really play music from their first album (understandable since so many bands have grown up and evolved beyond their initial sound). However... with this upcoming Winter tour, the band have asked fans to pick their encore songs. Which means if enough fans want it, they can demand those heartfelt early songs! It should be interesting to see what songs they play on this upcoming show at First Avenue.
Show up early to check out My Brightest Diamond (aka Shara Nova). The singer just dropped her new album A Million And One on November 23rd on Rhyme & Reason Records. She’s currently touring Europe with Ian Chang and will debut with Stars at First Avenue on December 2nd.
We previously caught the musician in November 2014 and wrote, “ Somewhat heavy stuff, but it was the basis of My Brightest Diamond’s set and was referred to a few times during the evening, which gave additional enlightenment for Worden’s song selections. The singer/multi-instrumentalist was dressed in all-white suit and moved deftly from keyboard to guitar and back, as the evening progressed, with more than able support from rhythmic sidemen, Nathan Lithgow (bass) and Tim Mulvenna (drums).”

DANITY KANE [Canceled]
Varsity Theater
Mon 12/03/2018 (Canceled)
varsitytheater.com
Remember Danity Kane? The original all-girls five-piece was massive when they first appeared in Making the Band 3 television show in 2004. Currently, the girl group is down to three (Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richard, and Shannon Bex) and fans know them as simply DK. Originally the 2018 did not include Minneapolis, but all of that has changed with this upcoming show at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on December 3rd.
If you show up early, one of the girls, Dawn Richard, will open as Dawn (or formerly stylized as D∆WN). Her opening set will focus on her forthcoming, yet-to-be-announced new solo record.
UPDATE 11/28/2018: Danity Kane has canceled their appearance at the Varsity Theater.
