Sure, the Australian band The Preatures was last seen in Minneapolis last Roctober 2014, but it would seem that the Sydney-based band is back - this time with The Bots (who was last seen Turf Club in Oct 2014 and at Nether Bar in Sep 2014).

Since it's the Triple Rock, a third band Bloods Band is also listed on the bill. I believe that band is also based out of Sydney, Australia.

IBEYI w/ Flo Morrissey
at Cedar Cultural Center

For some odd reason, I really wanted to see this show because of Flo Morrissey. You may recall that I previously mentioned this 20 year old English singer because of her surname to Steven Patrick. Flo Morrissey recently toured with The Staves and opened for Damon Albarn at Les InRocks festival at Casino De Paris. Look for her debut album on Glassnote Records later this year.

Of course, the main attraction will be real life twins Ibeyi (Lisa and Naomi Diaz). We also previously mentioned that they were daughters of the late Cuban percussion Anga Díaz.

Ibeyi's self-titled album came out this week, February 17th, 2015, via XL Recordings.

Fresh off supporting Sam Smith on his sold-out US tour, George Ezra quickly sold out most of his upcoming US headlining tour dates. The English singer-songwriter had several hit singles hitting the top ten, including "Budapest", which reached the top ten in numerous countries around the world (#1 in Austria, New Zealand and the Czech Republic). Ezra's debut studio album Wanted on Voyage reached #1 the UK and the top ten in seven other countries.

Buzzing UK rock duo Ruen Brothers set to open the show. The band's latest EP Point Dume (American Recordings/Republic Records) came out on iTunes/digital outlets this week (March 17th). Produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, the collection features four tracks including the new single "Summer Sun."
