We've written about Die Antwoord a few time. Well, the strange/odd South African band is outdoing themselves with their latest video for their song "Baby's on Fire".

Go 96.3
We were really impressed with Go 96.3 FM's first Go Show #1 (featuring New Politics and Banks at Aria on Mar 2015). We were wondering how they can top that debut show

GO FEST ’16 feat. MIIKE SNOW
at First Avenue
Saturday, 07/30/16, 7pm ($25)
first-avenue.com
This year’s
Go Fest will take place at First Avenue’s mainroom (its inaugural 2015 show was previously held at
Target Field) and will feature headliner
Miike Snow.
Miike Snow’s new album is called
iii and came out March 4th, via Atlantic Records.
Compared to last year’s event, this year is a little scaled down - and that’s okay. From 8 bands to 4, moving start time from 4pm to 7pm is a smarter move for everyone involved. Also, the smaller First Avenue (compared to Target Field) will be a better experience.
Looking over the artist listing, it would seem Go 96.3 radio is booking mostly electronica/dance music for this upcoming show.
Other artist on the bill:
Los Angeles’ Robert DeLong
Detroit duo Jr Jr (Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott) - formerly known as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
Minneapolis trio Denny (Alex, Jack, and Sully).
Other notable shows taking place on Saturday, 07/30/16:
Supergroup The Baseball Project (featuring members from Minus 5 and R.E.M.) will be headlining the Turf Club in St Paul. We previously saw them in 2014 and wrote that they only sang baseball songs (except for the double encore, of course). Show is $15, and according to turfclub.net, the Wooldridge Brothers (Scott and Brian Wooldridge) to open. R.E.M.’s Mike Mill previously appeared with the brothers at Big Star’s Third show in 2015.
Goo Goo Dolls, along with Collective Soul, and Tribe Society will be playing at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake. We previously saw Goo Goo’s frontman John Rzeznik at a free acoustic promo appearance earlier in the month (16 June 2016). Tickets are $29 - $65.

WYE OAK
at Fine Line Music Cafe
Sunday, 07/31/16, 7:30pm ($16/$18)
finelinemusic.com
Wye Oak (Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack) is back on tour, promoting their latest
Tween album. The release is a collection of eight songs born, raised, and almost abandoned for various reasons during the years between 2011’s breakthrough Civilian and 2014’s reinvention-of-sorts,
Shriek. Digital copies available now, but if you’re a physical record fan, you’ll have to wait until August 5th (or perhaps pick it up at their upcoming show at the Fine Line Music Café this Sunday, July 31st).

Bowerbirds’ singer/guitarist Phil Moore.

The Cult of Lip
The evening started off with The Cult of Lip (previously known as Vats). Since there was one less band on the bill, it seemed like everyone else had extra time to play their set.

VATS
at River Boat Grill
Sunday, 07/31/16, 6pm (?)
first-avenue.com
This show is a bit confusing, as when first announced, I thought this was local band Vats (who changed their names to The Cult of Lip one year ago on
July 2015).
As it were, this is Seattle’s
Vats. The trio (Sarah, Gabe, and JJ) is out touring for the Summer in support of their debut album
Green Glass Room via End of Time Records!
They will be stopping in St Paul’s River Boat Grill. The restaurant literally
on the Mississippi River and is actually next to the Covington Inn Bed and Breakfast (on the river). The address for the River Boat Grill is: 100 Yacht Club Rd W, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Tour dates:
07.23.16 – Philadelphia, PA – Second Empire !
07.24.16 – Brooklyn, NY – Alphaville
