The Dear Hunter is multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter Casey Crescenzo, drummer Nick Crescenzo, guitars Robert Parr, bassist Nick Sollecito, guitarist Maxwell Tousseau and keyboardist Andrew Brown.

Con Artists

Read More Sinéad O'Connor Truth be told, I am a massive Sinead O'Connor fan, even though sometime her controversial life and beliefs made it hard to be a fan. I don't let that stuff bother me .…

SINÉAD O'CONNOR
sineadoconnor.com

I love Sinead O'Connor. Probably not as much as she loves Bob Dylan, but I have been obsessed with her songs for a long time now. A few years ago, she released How About I Be Me (and You Be You), and was going to tour the U.S. in support of the album. It was quietly canceled, which did not surprise anyone having read her thoughts on the state of the music industry and how it's forcing artists to make money the old fashion way: touring. Traveling town to town is harsh on her motherhood nature and she did not want to be apart from her children.

So it's happening again, a new "The American Kindness" tour this Fall 2013, and as you can see from the dates - they are mostly residencies, giving her some breathing room and giving fans options to see Sinead O'Connor live.

Desaparecidos at 400 Bar, Minneapolis (08/09/12)

Read More Desaparecidos Conor "Bright Eyes" Oberst have reunited with Desaparecidos. The band, who haven't been on tour since 2002, just recently played their hometown of Omaha.

What a night at the 400 Bar! Mr. Conor Oberst decided to play a gig with his original band the Desaparecidos. Two songs into the set my shirt was off and the head banging and shirt waving started. Imagine seeing Bright Eyes in a tiny dive bar. Exactly. Now I've never been a die hard Bright Eyes fan, but after seeing them in New Orleans last fall; I had to be at this gig. Conor brings that showmanship to the table every night. He's got a great clean-cut voice to the point where you can always hear and understand the lyrics even if you're drunk, "I think"?

He sure felt like home at the 400 Bar thanks to the Sullivan brothers who have built a great relationship with the iconic rocker. Managing and ultimately jumpstarting his career, Tom and Billy Sullivan have been there since day one with Conor. It's always nice playing in front of a home-type crowd. Maybe that explains why these garage rockers were jumping off speakers and shredding the night away with their guitars. I wouldn't say the Desaparecidos were better than Bright Eyes but they sure brought a more face paced approach, which I thoroughly loved.

My highlights of the night:

#1 Catching Up with the Sullivan Brothers, can't get anymore honest than these two. (love you Tom, I'll go to college eventually)
# 2 Rocking out with all the cool Minneapolis Bloggers and Photographers (Erik Thompson, Kyle Matteson, Erik Hess). Vu where were you?
# 3 Almost getting a change to talk Conor Oberst after the gig, enjoyed the Fat Tire beer while waiting.
# 4 Ahhh two sold out shows in one night Matisyahu (First Ave)/The Desaparecidos (400 bar)

At the 400 Bar

We are always made welcomed whenever we stop by the 400 Bar, so here are some upcoming shows.

If you are attending one of these shows, come by and say hi. Myself, Lara, Amy, or Emily, might be at one of these shows (possibly more when future shows are announced). If you want to stalk us, here is a crude drawing of Vu-Bot the Cover Lover and Lara the "adorkable" Andorkian for reference.

Anyway, just a little background, the 400 Bar originally was a small elongated venue. They expanded to the next store over and double their space.

Just recently, like in the past few months, they added the wall back, and now there is a bar area and the venue area. They also shortened the stage, so now there is a bigger dance floor. If you haven't been to the 400 in a while, you should definitely check out a show to see the differences for yourself.

Below are some bands coming to the 400 Bar:

THE QUICK AND EASY BOYS
thequickandeasyboys.com

Emily is going to cover the Quick & Easy Boys for us, they are stopping in the 400 Bar on May 11th.

The band is from Portland, Oregon, and, according to their biography, they are a bit of everything (from funk to psychedelic rock, to garage-soul).

The tour is to promote their sophomore full-length album, Red Light Rabbit, which just came out a few years ago via Per Capita Records.

05/09/12 - Martyrs - Chicago, IL
05/11/12 - 400 Bar - Minneapolis, MN

THE ROYALTY
theroyalty.net

The Royalty is a new band from El Paso, Texas, with their debut album, Lovers out this Tuesday, May 8th, 2012.

MTV Buzzworthy said they sound like "Amy Winehouse went on holiday with Vampire Weekend."

You can catch them on their tour, with Minneapolis being on their schedule this May 14th. Unfortunately, I've already agreed to cover another band that night, so I'm looking around for a substitute to go in my stead.

05/16 Chicago, IL @ Beat Kitchen

KURT VILE
kurtvile.com

Kurt Vile is the founding member of The War on Drugs. Although the band is still around, Vile left the band in 2008. Not really sure the reason for the split, but I've read that he's still friends with former members of The War on Drugs.

Vile's released a few solo albums, on various labels (Mexican Summer, Woodsist), but he's currently home at one of my favorite label, Matador Records (this is the label that distributed Belle & Sebastian to the states and originally signed Cat Power and a ton of other music I love).

Anyway, he's on tour. Amy is covering his show at the 400 Bar this May 22nd (Morrissey's birthday!)

If you want to check out his solo music, you can currently grab "Baby's Arm" as a free download on his official website. The song is taken from his latest 2011 album, Smoke Ring for My Halo, via Matador. Bonus, if you download the album through amazon.com, you get a bonus song and a bonus price ($5)! Cheap!

Here is the official tour dates from Kurt Vile:

May 17 Chameleon Club Lancaster, PA May 18 Nelsonville Music Festival Nelsonville, OH May 19 Blind Pig Ann Arbor, MI May 20 Lincoln Hall Chicago, IL May 21 High Noon Madison, WI May 22 400 Bar Minneapolis, MN May 23 Aquarium Fargo, ND May 25 Bitmore Vancouver, Canada May 26 Sasquatch Music Festival George, WA May 27 Star Theatre Portland, OR May 30 The Fillmore San Francisco, CA Jun 06 Catalyst Atrium Santa Cruz, CA Jun 07 Largo @ The Coronet Los Angeles, CA Jun 10 Bonnaroo 2012 Manchester, TN

RAH RAH
rahrahband.net

You know my theory about repeating band names - they are easy to remember (just like Duran Duran, Ra-Ra Riot, Gang Gang Dance, Tapes 'N Tapes, etc). If you have three words, it's even better. Like Dark Dark Dark and Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

Anyway, this Canadian band is coming out with a new 7" called "Little Poems" out on June 12th. The two tracks ("Little Poems" and "I Could Tell You I'm Sorry") are not available from their new LP. I'm not sure if the songs will be available from their forthcoming studio album The Poet's Dead, coming out this fall via Hidden Pony Records. I guess we'll wait and see.

Tour dates are as follows:

May 25 - Saskatoon, SK @ Amigo's
May 29 - Winnipeg, MB @ The Lo Pub
May 30 - Minneapolis, MN @ 400 Bar
May 31 - Chicago, IL @ Double Door
June 2 - Sarnia, ON @ Sarnia Artwalk*

YOUNG MAGIC
youngmagic.bandcamp.com

Young Magic is three beautiful people from New York City. According to their biography, they are heavily influenced by West African rhythms, a little hip-hop, some UK "bass" (there is a whole music festival devoted to "bass music", which I'm assuming is like D&B only without the 'D') and 60s psychedelic soul.

Their debut album, Melt, came out on V-Day 2012 in the US and just recently (March 30th) in Australia/New Zealand.

As you can see from their massive tour schedule, the band doesn't believe in resting. They are stopping by the 400 Bar on July 9th with Quilt (a band that we previously covered).

Trivia: the cover artwork is by artist Leif Podhajsky.

DESAPARECIDOS
desaparecidosband.com

Conor "Bright Eyes" Oberst have reunited with Desaparecidos. The band, who haven't been on tour since 2002, just recently played their hometown of Omaha - where they unveiled two brand new songs ("Left is Right" and "Backsell"). You know what that means; a possible new album is in the works.

So far, only a few Desaparecidos tour dates have been announced, of course, Oberst agreed to play at the 400 Bar (if you've read my previous articles, you know that Oberst has a relationship with the owner of the 400 Bar and will always honor their friendship by stopping by if they're in Minneapolis). Like previous shows, I think this one will sell out. I have seen many sad faces asking for tickets at these Saddle Creek shows - so do yourself a favor and preorder tickets when they are available for sale.

August 9 Minneapolis, MN @ 400 Bar #
August 11 Omaha, NE @ Maha Music Festival
August 25 Seattle, WA @ Showbox at The Market
August 26 Portland, OR @ Crystal Ballroom
