Seattle’s Noah Gundersen headlined the Fine Line Music Café on October 1st, in support of his new album Lover (Cooking Vinyl).

Fellow Seattle-based band Lemolo opened the show. The band is really the stagename for songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Meagan Grandall. She is joined by Nathan Yaccino on drums and Torry Anderson on bass.

Lemolo previewed some songs from her forthcoming album Swansea, set for release on October 11, 2019… which included “Interlude” (the second single) as her set closer with her beautiful lyrics, “I was stuck in the swell, couldn't get to the beach. It was just as well, not to get closer to me. The whales were around, I kept hearing them sing. I was chasing a sound, that I couldn't achieve.”

I think the best part of her set was a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” (the non-radio friendly version). Being a Radiohead fan, I know that the band fought against changing their wording to “very” instead of “f****ing”, but they played the game and it got them fame… Of course, Thom Yorke regretted it years later and they rarely (if at all) actually performs the song live anymore. So it was good to hear a live rendition of it, but in a slowed down Lemolo style.

Noah Gundersen closed out the show. We’ve previously seen him in in Sept 2015 and wrote that he had a great voice.

In contrast to his radically heavier/rock-oriented album White Noise in 2017, it would seem that Gundersen has returned to his relationship/personal songs with his new record Lover.

It’s his preceding single “Robin Williams”, which started his set. As you know, Williams committed suicide, which was shocking to hear, since he seemed like a happy/funny person. Gundersen is a fan of the actor/comedian, and wrote the song in keeping the theme of deeply personal songs: “ “It’s about love, it’s about failure, it’s about drugs, it’s about sex, it’s about age, it’s about regret, it’s about itself (very meta, I know) and it’s about finding peace. I think it’s the most I’ve ever put of myself into something. It’s been cathartic. I’ve cried a lot.”

Gundersen would close out his Lover set with the title track, followed by “All My Friends” (also from the Lover album). The finale song’s closing line, “me and all of my friends gonna live forever” may sound cheery - but there’s a hint of sadness, knowing that it’s not going to last.

Our favorite Ramones-inspired Japanese band Shonen Knife will be headlining the Fine Line Music Café. As you know, we’re big fans of these gals, since the early 90s when they released Let’s Knife. Nirvana was a huge fan and asked them to open their shows.

The other cool thing about this band (since we’ve attended many of their shows), is that they have the coolest merchandises, everything from hand towels to keychains to guitar picks.

Currently the band is sisters Naoko and Atsuko with drummer Risa. We were very excited to see the two sisters when they reunited in their Turf Club in 2016 .

Shonen Knife’s latest release is Sweet Candy Power (Good Charamel Records) … keeping in theme with music about food.

Opening will be local bands Kitten Forever and Black Widows. We caught Kitten Forever’s 10 Year Anniversary show at their largest headlining venue at First Avenue in July 2016 and said, “ Although this was First Avenue’s mainroom, the show felt as if it could have been held at the band’s garage. In fact, talking to some fans, they all thought the show was at 7th Street.... and it’s not really obvious why the band chose to play at the large mainroom until you saw all the decorative balloons all over the stage and “Kitten Forever” in balloon writing. The feeling I got from longtime fans were that of pride, nostalgia, and happiness, as they gather together to share their love for Kitten Forever.”

I recently saw that Scottish singer/songwriter Lewis Capaldi was looking for love on Tinder… so there’s some sort of contest that if you swipe right on his profile, you (and a friend) could win an all-paid flight to New York to see him perform.

Certainly, this is one of the hottest singer around, thanks to his breakout single, “Someone You Loved”.

We caught Capaldi in June 2019 and wrote, “Breakthrough single, ‘Someone You Loved’ finished his brief set to rave applause and anyone missing this short lakeside set, has another chance locally, as Lewis Capaldi (yes, distantly related to former Dr. Who actor Peter Capaldi) returns in the fall, to headline the Mainroom at First Avenue on October 3rd.”

Seattle's Noah Gundersen is currently on tour in support of his sophomore album Carry The Ghost, stopping by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Monday, September 21st.

Ivan & Aloysha

Ivan & Aloysha was the opening act of the night. They have a great indie folk-rock sound with yet another very powerful vocalist. These guys gained a lot of popularity when NPR named them one of the top 100 bands at SXSW back in 2010. It seems like they have only grown since then. There was a group of kids next to me that were clapping along to every single song. I&A kept the audience engaged the whole time. Their songs were upbeat but not fast and out control.

As you can see from their setlist, despite having the majority of their songs from the new 2015 album It's All Just Pretend (Dualtone Music), the clapping group definitely knew, and sang along, to all the songs.

While much of their 45-min set went without a hitch, shortly after "Modern Man", singer Tim Wilson accidentally dropped his inside his acoustic guitar... which made for an awkward moment as he tried to fish it out.

Noah Gundersen was the headliner of the night. There was no shortage of people at The Fine Line to see him perform.

Noah's songs have been featured in shows such as Sons of Anarchy and The Vampire Diaries. His voice is smooth and powerful. During his song Ledges there was a quick a capella part that really showcased just how powerful his voice is. It was the kind of moment in a song that gives you goosebumps.

Noah was accompanied on stage by a band that seemed to be playing musical chairs with their instruments. The drummer and Noah were the only ones that really stayed in the same place with the same instrument. For one song his sister (who was featured on violin majority of the night) ended up on a keyboard. I would look down at my phone, then look up, and all of a sudden she had a guitar in hand. That just goes to show how truly talented these musicians are. And they would have to be super talented in order to keep up with Noah's incredible voice.

His whole set was like a rollercoaster. He would play a very slow and quiet song and have me to the point of nodding off with his soothing voice. Then the next second, the drummer is banging on the drums about as loud as any other rock band. Noah's voice was able to keep up regardless of the style of song and that kept me, a person who can't stand watching acoustic/ singer-songwriter stuff live, interested and wanting more.

Favorite comedy moment of the show was before the band played "Empty From The Start", Gundersen poked fun at the balcony people for paying more for their tickets, "You balcony people looking down on us and throwing your dollar bills... just kidding. Thanks for paying extra." However, as soon as he acknowledged the "lower level people", there was a loud cheer.

Noah Gundersen's Carry the Ghost is out now on Dualtone Records.

The Mynabirds (aka Laura Burhenn) is back on tour, this time supporting their latest album Lovers Know.

Her latest video is for "Wildfire", taken from the new album, and according to Burhenn, "The song "Wildfire" is partly based on that Jack Kerouac quote ("The only people for me are the mad ones..."), and finding your people. So it felt fitting to be in a town that's pretty new to me, but to feel totally at home in the company of these amazing babes. We made this video as an ode to making new friends and helping each other through dark times." (In the case of the video, a girl helped Burhenn conquer her real fear of roller coasters.)

Bad Bad Hats and Good Night Gold Dust to open.

FESTIVAL PALOMINO
at Canterbury Park

festivalpalomino.com

We covered Trampled By Turtles' first ever Festival Palomino last year. It was such a great learning experience for us, and we had a great time... so much that it made it onto my top ten favorite shows from 2014 (out of about 180 shows).

If you are worried about missing some of the great lineup (including our favorite master hunter Laura Marling and rocker Benjamin Booker), no problem: you can see them all. There are two stages, so when one band is done - just walk (or turn your head) to the other stage. There is no waiting around while the band is setting up!

Schedule:

Stars Stage
1:30pm The Lowest Pair
2:45pm Calexico
4:25pm Shakey Graves
6:05pm Father John Misty
8:20pm Trampled by Turtles

Satellites Stage
2:05pm Lydia Loveless
3:35pm Laura Marling
5:15pm Benjamin Booker
7:10pm Dr Dog
