SUNDAY, JUNE 1
VARSITY THEATER
St. Paul and the Broken Bones
They may look like the company photo of your accountants or law team, but underneath that façade, St. Paul and the Broken Bones soulfully proves you can’t judge a book by its cover.
The seven-piece Birmingham, AL band formed just two years ago, and has been gathering increasing buzz with a retro-soul sound that harkens back to the honest and pure songs of the 1960’s Staxx and Atlantic Records catalogs. Vocalist Paul Janeway sounds at times like vintage Otis Redding and leads the rising band that unfortunately has no connection to St Paul, MN, though does play across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis (now sold out), as one of the stops on its summer tour in support of their debut full-length, Half the City (Single Lock Records).

Conor Oberst at First Avenue

MONDAY, JUNE 2
FIRST AVENUE
Conor Oberst w/ Dawes
Bright Eyes, brighter future.
Omaha singer-songwriter Conor Oberst is back on the road, with an acclaimed new solo album, Upside Down Mountain (Nonesuch Records), a Laurel Canyon inspired release co-produced by Jonathan Wilson and is bringing California band Dawes with him, that act both as opener and as Oberst’s backing band. A return to his earlier, more personal approach to songwriting, expect the prolific songsmith to pepper older Bright Eyes and Mystic Valley Band songs into his set, as well as the more recent solo work.
Dawes, the California foursome that considers Minneapolis as its strongest market, is still in support of its latest, Stories Don’t End (Red/Hub Records), and will no doubt add extra ‘oomph’ to Oberst’s songs, as well as an hour-long set of their own blend of folk/Americana, for a ‘can’t miss’ show.

Band of Skulls Tour
Read More
|
TUESDAY, JUNE 3
FIRST AVENUE
Band of Skulls w/ Deap Vally
These are the kind of “Nightmares” you want to embrace.
English trio Band of Skulls is on the road in support of its third full-length, Himalayan (Psycollective/Kobalt Records) and its current single, ‘Nightmares’. The new album curiously also features a song titled, ‘I Feel Like Ten Men, Nine Dead and One Dying’ inspired by a phrase from guitarist Russell Marsden’s grandfather, and another called ‘Toreador’, inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s 1932 novel Death In The Afternoon.
The epic-invoking name of the new album’s title, (which was helmed by legendary producer Nick Launay [INXS, The Cribs, Midnight Oil, Nick Cave]), raises the bar of expectations in terms of the band’s live performance. The trio also just performed a special show with a string quartet in Los Angeles, but expect more rocking for the remainder of their tour dates.
