The Melvins return to the road with the continuation of their Hold It In tour kicking off June 6 in Tucson at Club Congress.
The tour announcement comes as Ipecac Recordings’ confirms
...
Japanese noise band Melt-Banana is coming to Minneapolis on Wednesday, October 23rd, at the Triple Rock Social Club.
The duo (Yasuko Onuki and Ichirou Agata) is currently in the U.S. to do a "2 do what 2 fetch" tour …
The “Savage Imperial Death March Tour”, featuring British metal band Napalm Death, American punk/metal band The Melvins and Japanese noise artists Melt-Banana, recently came to First Avenue in Minneapolis.
Melt-Banana
The show started off with Melt-Banana. Currently the band is a duo, featuring singer Yasuko Onuki and guitarist Agata. Just a little backstory on why Agata wears his signature surgical mask, it is because he’s prone to have noise bleeds during his intense live performances.
Like their previous appearances, Onuki had her digital software controller (to trigger drums and other strange sounds) and Agata had his complicated guitar setup, which included an impressive arsenal of pedal effects and their patented amp-feeding-into-amp (they often bring their own amps on tour). The result is Melt-Banana may be one of the loudest band around, and they’re proud of that fact.
Their music was fast and loud. There was one point where Yasuko said they were going to play six short songs rapid fire. She wasn't kidding about the short part. These songs seemed more like excerpts from songs being that they were only about fifteen seconds long each. Even when the songs were longer than fifteen seconds, they were fast and powerful.
Second to play Sunday night was The Melvins. These guys have a huge following in Minneapolis. I truly thought they were from here but apparently that's not true at all, people up here just really, really like them and you could tell by watching the crowd.
King Buzzo
Singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne, aka King Buzzo (dressed in an illuminati robe), and was joined on stage by bassist
Steven Shane McDonald and Dale Crover (the latter two wearing t-shirts with their first name). Fun fact, McDonald is normally the bassist to the legendary Redd Kross.... and was probably the reason why the Melvins covered “Frosted Flake” on their set.
The Melvins is hard to classify musically. They are a little punk, a little metal, a lot of sludgy stoner rock, some experimental... Regardless of how you want to classify them, they had the crowd completely captivated. As soon as the music started, the crowd was headbanging in perfect time. It almost looked like waves or something.
I couldn't help but watch the crowd during the whole set. The crowd was so excited to see this legendary band play and almost instantly, the mosh pit broke. It wasn't as extreme as some of the pits I have seen but it kept growing and growing with every song and eventually, majority of the floor was a giant stoner pit of people just casually bumping into each other and shoving each other.
Melvins, with Shane Embury
People were screaming and shouting at them in between songs but as soon as the music started, the crowd would go silent as to respect the art and give The Melvins the attention that they more than deserved.
Highlight of their hour-plus set was when Napalm Death’s Shane Embury joined them on stage to help add an extra double bass to “Night Goat”... this was medley with “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as Crover stepped out from the drum kit to sing the song with the audience.
Headlining the show was Napalm Death. I've dreamt about the day I will finally get to see these guys live and last Sunday night was everything I wanted it to be.
Napalm Death has been around forever. They started in 1981 and have been around ever since. These guys were probably the most classifiable band of the night. They were metal, with a little bit of punk, a little bit of grind... well crap, now you understand why the phrase "soiree of weirdness" is a perfect way to explain the music of last night.
Their lyrics, if you can actually understand them, make you think. Some are political and some just really make you question other people's views on the world and even your own views. It was great to see this emotion displayed live and even more amazing to hear Mark explain what some of the songs were actually about. When he explained the meaning behind some of them, you could just hear the passion in his voice and it made you feel passionate about the music they were putting out there.
These guys have put out 16 full length albums thus far (with no end in sight) so obviously they couldn't play everything. They did a great job of mixing old and new music along with a couple covers including a Dead Kennedys (“Nazi Punks F**k Off”) and a Cryptic Slaughter cover (“Lowlife”) ... which the crowd went absolutely bats**t over).
The Savage Imperial Death March Tour was originally to end this May 7th at the Troubadour in Los Angeles... but based on strong interest/sold out status, the band added two additional shows (May 8th and May 9th). All Los Angeles dates are now sold out.

Beach Slang is currently on tour in support of their upcoming debut album Find People Who Feel Like Us (out October 30 on Polyvinyl Records).
Like most of the Midwest tour …
All the critics agreed that Northampton-based quartet Potty Mouth are "band to watch" or "songs we can't stop playing". If you love Vivian Girls and saddened
…
Philadelphia’s Beach Slang is back in town... this time headlining the Triple Rock Social Club, next Monday, April 25th. You might recall that we caught the band when they opened up for Tommy Stinson in September 2015 and noted that “you can tell right away that singer James Alex was really excited to tour with Tommy Stinson, even adding that "Every record I own is from here" (without naming bands, but we can imagine the Replacements, Prince and Hüsker Dü).”
Beach Slang’s music evokes the spirit of punk and juxtaposes it into something that's as brutally honest as it is infectiously catchy. Their live show is full of energy and after support other acts on the road, it's nice to see them have their own tour.
“Band to Watch” Potty Mouth and Dyke Drama (solo project of Sadie Switchblade) to open.

Japanese noise band Melt-Banana is coming to Minneapolis on Wednesday, October 23rd, at the Triple Rock Social Club.
The duo (Yasuko Onuki and Ichirou Agata) is currently in the U.S. to do a "2 do what 2 fetch" tour …
Japanese noise artists Melt-Banana's show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis was incredibly well-attended for a Wednesday night. I suppose this is no surprise, having built up a hardcore following since their existence, almost twenty years ago.
Currently the live band only consists of singer/programmer Yasuko Onuki and guitarist Ichirou Agata. The rest of their music comes from a laptop full of drum samples and samples, a colorful programmed keypad that Yasuko uses throughout the show, and about five or six very large speakers and amps that they bring on tour with them. For just two people, they produced some of the loudest sound I've heard at live shows.
As you can see from their setlist, you have to read it top right to left (per Japanese reading order). I can't read Japanese, but I am guessing that they reference pre-programmed beats, effects, or samples (via the numbers).
I know there are over twenty tracks, but you have to also understand that their songs are incredibly short (with one one song only 30 seconds long!), true to any punk/experimental music.
With this type of music, in particular any foreign language metal, the audience isn't there to analyze or understand the lyrics, so often they give feedback by screaming "woo" or moshing to the harder songs… which inspired the duo to maintain a high level of energy during their performance.
Melt-Banana's latest album fetch, is out now, the Japanese band is currently touring under their so-called "2 do what 2 fetch" tour. Check out this legendary experimental noise band:

So, it's come to this. We have so many shows for the fourth week of Roctober that I have to split up the week until Wednesday! Unfortunately too many (good) bands are playing at the same time! So the theme for this article is "Double Shows" (either John or Vu will be at one of these shows).
Vu was turned into an instant Deltron 3030 fan when he saw them in 2000. Now it's the year 2013 and Deltron is back with Event II (coming out October 1st), the 13-year follow-up to their debut self-titled album.…
Deltron 3030 is starting on the fourth week of Rocktober!

The Portland duo (Sam Coomes and Janet Weis) are currently touring in support of their ninth album called Mole City. If their names sounded familiar, that's because they've both played for Sleater Kinney, Elliott Smith, Stephen Malkmus (which incidentally I randomly saw at 80/35 Music Festival.)

Also playing this Monday at the Varsity Theater is The 1975:
Since we last saw the 1975, they are gearing up for their debut self-titled album, coming out September 3rd on Interscope Records. Leading up to the album …
Everybody loves ‘Chocolate’…the candy, as well as the current single from Manchester UK-based The 1975, whose debut album (on Dirty Hit/Polydor) debuted at #1 on the UK albums charts (even besting NIN new LP) and is starting to make substantial noise on these shores as well.
The band has actually been around in some form since 2002, and after 4 eps and now a full-length, is ready to fully conquer America. A sometimes melancholy blend of alt and guitar pop, singer Matt Healy actually cites director John Hughes and his bastion of 80’s coming-of-age-teen films as a major influence (don’t expect a Simple Minds cover in concert though).
Breakthrough band of the year? You decide-- if you can score a ticket, that is, as screaming females and Brit rock fans have already reserved theirs.

Lucy Rose is currently in the United States for a massive tour. She's supporting City and Colour on the September dates, but will be headlining in October. …
Lucy Rose will be over at the Amsterdam Bar and Hall in Saint Paul for her final 2013 Fall tour date.
I'll confess that I've never been to that venue before (since I'm primarily based in Minneapolis and rarely cross that Mississippi River to see shows). The right side and the wrong side of the river, right?

If I wasn't in St Paul that night, the other show I would have actually attended would be Foy Vance:
Here’s a little secret-- Little Green Cars are being driven by minors. As lead Stevie Appleby (vocals/ guitar) put it mid-way into their 60 min. set, “we’d love …
Ireland's Foy Vance is currently in America, touring in support of Joy Of Nothing. The album featured special guests such as Ed Sheeran and Bonnie Raitt.
The band's first proper headlining tour is getting a lot of buzz, in particular the more populated/hip cities (Nashville, Los Angeles, and Toronto) have sold out.
Opening up for selected shows will be Little Green Cars, a band that we like and previously appeared in Minneapolis earlier in April.

When we last saw the lads of Dublin quartet Kodaline, they were opening on a spring tour for The Airborne Toxic Event, to great reception. Now that their debut full-length, In a Perfect World (RCA/Red) has just been released, they’re returning on a headlining tour to re-introduce us to their anthemic blend of Irish alt-rock.
Fresh from a mini-residency in NYC (including a live appearance on VH-1), the tour also brings opener Diane Birch whose own new album, Speak a Little Louder (S-Curve) brings soul-pop influence with freshness from this keyboard playing singer-songwriter. Birch worked with Dap Kings drummer Homer Steinweiss and Aqualung’s Matt Hales to concoct the new tracks on this sophomore album, that shows her musical growth.
As well, Kodaline has been playing a Sam Cooke cover in concert, so chances of very soulful evening with both acts, is a near certainty, so make sure to book a ticket and arrive early.
