COMMUNIST DAUGHTER
at Amsterdam Bar & Hall

Communist Daughter is headlining the Amsterdam Bar & Hall next Saturday, November 21st. Although recently only Johnny & Molly were on a tour, they'll be joined by the full band at this come town gig.

Opening up will be Tiny Deaths, who we previously saw in September 2014 and noted that they were a duo (singer/keyboardist Claire de Lune and producer/guitarist Grant Cutler). We're pretty sure her name is in reference to the French word for "clair de lune" which means moonlight.

The other tiny/little opener is Twee pop band Little Fevers... playing in support their debut LP Field Trip, available now. The record was recorded with Matt Boynton (Beirut, MGMT) and mastered by David Gardner (Black Lips). Three songs on the record were specially recorded by engineer Neil Weir at the historic Old Blackberry Way in Minneapolis where Twin Tone Records was born (The Replacements).

Little Fevers went on their national tour last October and finally back home with this local show. Their two December dates will be in Iowa, at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines (December 4) and Bluestem Ames in Ames (December 5).

Communist Daughter tour dates:

Nov 20 Ed's No Name Winona, MN
Nov 21 Amsterdam Bar and Hall Saint Paul, MN
Dec 05 Johnny & Molly @ Beaner's Duluth, MN

You know we like The Dandy Warhols... and they love "Minnesoter." Minneapolis is pretty much the only city where they will automatically play "Minnesoter", which are often not written on their standard setlist.

We've been going to Dandy shows since October 2000, this is one of the best live bands as they've demonstrated with their special live album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia Live At The Wonder, which came out last year on The End Records.

Opening up for the Fine Line will be Portland's The Shivas.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Miranda Lee Richards will be joining back on the tour in December:

11/16: Terminal West; Atlanta, GA
11/18: Bluebird Nightclub - Bloomington, IN
11/19: Thalia Hall - Chicago, IL
11/20: Englert Theatre - Iowa City, IA

Here are some others shows taking place on November 21st in the Minneapolis area:

The critically revered UK troubadour James Bay is on a sold-out USA tour, stopping by State Theatre (moved from the Varsity Theater), in support of his LP debut Chaos and the Calm (Republic Records). The record is already certified Gold in Australia & Switzerland, Platinum in the UK... and after 1 million albums sold worldwide, critics are already calling the debut album one of the "Biggest Album Released This Year". Frances to open. (8pm/$26.50)

The National's Matt Berninger and Ramona Falls' Brent Knopf have joined forces as EL VY. They are touring in support of their debut album Return to the Moon, stopping by First Avenue on November 21st. 4AD's Søren Juul to open. (8pm/$25)

World-renowned DJ and producer Tokimonsta will be at 7th Street Entry with Leikeli47 (pronounced "Leh-Kay-Lee 47"). (8pm/$20)

The King Khan & BBQ Show is back in the area at Turf Club this Saturday. I find their whole black face/black "monkey" body jungle art direction kind of offensive. Am I misreading their promo photos? I'm surprise no one else voiced this opinion. Guests Milk Lines and Joust to open. (8pm/$15)

"An Evening with John Gorka" to take place at The Cedar Cultural Center. (7pm/$25)

KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW
at Turf Club
Monday 03/09/15, 7:30pm ($15)
turfclub.net

It's very confusing, but depending on if King Khan is playing with The Shrines or BBQ Show, they are two very different type of shows.

With The Shrines, it's very "soul", with a big brass section.... with the BBQ Show, the show will likely be more garage/psychedelic. This time, King Khan is returning to Minneapolis in his psych band.

Personally, I think it's confusing, so I embraced that Mark Sultan ("the BBQ") wanted to change their name to Jumbo Lions? It might already be too late by now.

King Khan & BBQ Show's latest release is Bad News Boys, came out this week (February 24th) via In the Red Records. Look for the vinyl on March 17th, 2015.

Milk Lines set to open the show.
