Indie rockers The Besnard Lakes will be back in Minnesota at the Turf Club in St Paul on May 3rd. We’ve seen the band a few times, the last was probably their best appearance, opening up for Ride in September 2015 and we wrote, “then, in darkness, the band emerged playing a layered, atmospheric, psychedelic, shoegazing music that went over well with the audience.”

The Canadian band is touring in support of A Coliseum Complex Museum (Jagjaguwar).

Milwaukee’s Jaill and Minneapolis’ Chatham Rise to open.

Tour Dates:

April 27 - Portsmouth, NH @ 3S Artspace
April 28 - Buffalo, NY @ The Tralf Music Hall

CHRIS PUREKA
at 7th Street Entry

Portland’s Chris Pureka is on tour for her latest album, Back in the Ring. This is Pureka’s first studio full length since 2010’s critically acclaimed How I Learned to See in the Dark.

When pressed about the lengthy time between release, Pureka responded, “I’m not interested in releasing songs I can’t get behind or records I don’t love.”

Opening up the 7th Street Entry show next week will be Anna Vogelzang, in support of her new record, Hiker. The new record was produced by Todd Sickafoose (Anais Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Andrew Bird) and is coming out on May 6th.

Vogelzang’s voice and music has been compared to Ingrid Michaelson and Brandi Carlile.
