Drenge Named "Best New Band of 2013" by NME, UK sibling duo Drenge will be playing at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on August 1st. Join Eoin and Rory Loveless as they play songs …

London's Wolf Alice recently made a successful return to a very well-attended First Avenue on Monday, October 5th.

It was incredible to see fans lining up outside the historic venue before the doors opened. They were hoping to catch a full night of music, but unfortunately, due to a transportation problems (read: their van broke down), Made Violent ended up missing their Minneapolis appearance. It is really a shame, because, as we've previously mentioned, this is an excellent band.

Drenge

The other unfortunately thing was that the set times were not changed, the entertainment won't arrive until 1.45 hours later! That didn't stop fans from standing their grounds on a good view spot... as they patiently wait for Drenge. The (now) trio had great energy, playing their entire set in near-darkness.

Drenge: Eoin and Rory Loveless

We've seen Drenge before at the smaller 7th Street Entry in August 2014, and noted that they were a duo consisting of two brothers Eoin and Rory Loveless. It would seem that currently, the siblings added a bassist (and sometime guitarist) Rob Graham... which was a nice bonus to add to their music.

This is completely evident as the band entered onstage to very heavy bass of their introduction song "Undertow" and also when they were playing their set finale "Running Wild" and Graham's bassist did not work. Clearly the song was missing the funky bass, and Graham was looking incredibly frustrated on stage, almost ready to smash his guitar! When the sound engineer rushed on stage to swap out the offending bass, "Running Wild" sounded 1000% better with the bass - and the audience sent out a loud cheer of approval.

Since Drenge only has two albums, the set was a good half mix of the two albums. New songs from their latest Undertow (Infectious Records), included the problematic closing song, "Undertow", "Never Awake", "We Can Do What We Want" (or as written on their setlist "WCDWWW"), "Never Awake", and "Standing in the Cold".

Setlist

Many of the audience were all clearly excited to see Wolf Alice, but had only recently became fans of the London band. Talking to some new fans, they regretted having missed the band's earlier appearance at the Turf Club in May 2015.

Although 2015 is the band's first US tour, the truth is, we've been writing about them since their debut single "Fluffy" in January 2013 and saw them at the Great Escape 2013. We all knew there was something special about this band, and is very happy to see that the rest of America have finally caught up.

Very few words were spoken between songs, even though all eyes were focused on singer/guitarist Ellie Rowsell and whatever she had to say. She seemed shy on stage, which is surprising because sometime she can really scream on some of their songs.

Although Rowsell handled all their songs, drummer Joel Amey actually stepped in to sing on "Swallowtail".

Wolf Alice's debut album My Love Is Cool is out now on Dirty Hit/RCA Records. The single "Moaning Lisa Smile" had enjoyed a top ten slot on Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

He recently stopped by Sirius XM to perform a stripped-down cover of Prince's classic ballad "Nothing Compares 2 U," I suspect he may have to perform that in Prince's hometown next Monday. You can watch the Sirius XM clip on YouTube.

WOLF ALICE
wolfalice.co.uk

We're pretty excited to have UK's Wolf Alice back in the Twin Cities. We previously caught the band at the Turf Club in May 2015 and noted that "Based on the excited fans and sold out status of the Turf Club, the band will definitely be returning to Minneapolis... except, of course, they'll play a much bigger venue."

As predicted, the band will be playing the much bigger First Avenue mainroom (with new roof!) in our Rocktber month (October 5th). Their entire UK tour is sold out - so I suspect First Avenue will also sell out. Buy your tickets now or you'll regret it later.

Wolf Alice are: Ellie Rowsell, Joff Oddie, Theo Ellis, Joel Amey.

Joining them, will be Drenge, who we saw at the 7th Street Entry in August 2014.... and also, once again, Made Violent, will be joining Wolf Alice again. I actually really love Made Violent, but have mentioned that the Wolf Alice audience was not for them. We'll see if they'll come around this October 5th.

WOLF SAGA

Canada's Wolf Saga (also known as Johnny Saga) will be celebrating his new EP Auburn Nights at Bardot in Hollywood, California, on Monday, September 14 as part of "It's a School Night" shows. According to The Western Gazette, Saga has a style reminiscent of Vampire Weekend and The Strokes, with "charming vocals over a catchy electronic beat."

They referenced the Strokes because Wolf Saga actually covered their song "You Only Live Once", which made it on one of 2014's best of tracks on Hype Machine's Zeitgeist, placing at #1 twice on the Most Popular chart.

Joining Wolf Saga on stage will be Lilianna Wilde (vocals) and Brittany Maccarello (drums).

English two-piece Drenge are currently on tour for their self-titled debut album (Infectious Music), stopping by the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis last night, August 1st.

Wax Witches photo: Angela Lundberg

Opening up the show was New York's Wax Witches, the solo project from Alex Wall, singer/guitarist from Bleeding Knees Club. He's currently touring in support of his recently released album Centre of the Universe (Burger Records).

Like many artists on Burger, Wax Witches is lo-fi, garage-rock, and has that California surf/skate DIY attitude. Later in late October/early November, he will be joining on the popular Burger Records Caravan of the Stars 2014, which we previously covered last year in Austin.

Named NME's "Best New Band of 2013", Drenge have been the talk of the town by fans of British music. Certainly by the time the siblings Eoin and Rory Loveless took the stage, the audience stepped up to the dance floor to show their support.

Apparently the band rose to superstardom quite quickly. They were previously an underground band but shot to national media attention when the band was named in the resignation letter from Labour MP Tom Watson, who wrote "...be that great Labour leader that you can be, but try to have a real life too. And if you want to see an awesome band, I recommend Drenge."

As for their music, they have a very rough, raw sound. You can probably classify it as garage rock, but hearing their hooks and rifts, I think the young band may outgrow this with their next record.

Setlist

Eoin had very little to say between their songs, once to apologize for having his first American beer and "sorry if things gets a bit s***" and once to thank the crowd, "Thanks very much for coming to see us." Instead, he let us just experience the music as the two brothers thrash and bang their way through their set.

I'm not a music technical person, but I was told by a fan that the way the band was setup, that it was an amp feeding into another amp, resulting in a much louder sound. I'll take his word for it, it definitely sounded louder than usual at the 7th Street Entry.

Typical of brand new bands, they basically played all the songs they knew how to play live with no encores.

If you want to see what all the buzz is about, you definitely need to come check out these guys on their first American tour. They have a great sound and the two brothers are barely in their 20s, so there's still some time for growth.

Drenge's self-titled debut album was recently released in the USA on July 22, 2014, via Infectious Music.

Pigeon John

Pigeon John's summer tour kicks off tomorrow in St Louis at Gramophone. He'll be stopping by 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis on Sunday, July 27th.

With six albums under his belt, Pigeon John (real name: John Kenneth Dunkin) confessed that he's "still trying to find my voice. That's always been the mission — getting deeper, shedding off the layers — and that’s never really stopped."

His latest release, Encino Man is said to be more rock 'n roll and even pop rock (influenced by "everything from Phil Collins, Depeche Mode, De La Soul, Madonna and the Beasties"), but an underlying in hip-hop, and again, Pigeon John stay true to what he said - that he's reinventing his music.
