THAT DOG
annawaronker.com
In a recent discussion of Steven McDonald's appearance at NXNE, we were remembering Anna Waronker is married to him. If you know your 90s indie bands, you'll remember that Waronker, along with Rachel and her twin sister Petra, were in a band called That Dog (who had that "Minneapolis" song that we Minnesotans love).
I just found out, but That Dog have reunited to play one gig at The Troubadour on August 26th:
I did read that the show is almost sold out, so you better get your tickets now if you want to see them. It's really a shame that I don't live in California anymore, but I would love to attend this event.
SALLIE FORD & THE SOUND OUTSIDE
sallieford.com
Speaking of Minneapolis, Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside are coming to Minneapolis to play at the Cedar Cultural Center. If any bands are playing at that venue, I automatically say "yes" to covering it. The Cedar is one of my favorite places to see music.
Reading about her, it sounds like her music is both "classic" and "modern", so expect to hear jazz/blueish sound mixed with rock. Should be fun. She's playing with Jolie Holland, you may remember her from another 90s band, The Be Good Tanyas (and, yes, they covered a Prince song, "When Doves Cry").
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside's latest release is called Dirty Radio and is out now on Partisan Records. Tour dates listed below.
SQUAREPUSHER

Remember Squarepusher? Yes, that electro d&b guy from the mid-90s, Tom Jenkinson, is recently in the news.
He's on the spotlight for The Creators Project, an ongoing program that focus on artists working through technology. Here's the description of the Squarepusher episode:
GOMEZ
gomeztheband.com
Gomez's seventh album, Whatever's On Your Mind, came out last Tuesday (June 21st). Don't have a copy, but you can download a freebie song at Spin.com. Having already seen the band live last year, I can tell you the boys knows and loves their guitars (over nine guitars are on stage!)
They are returning to Minneapolis at Basilica Block Party, which I am not attending, but I have someone on the ground to cover this event for me. I may be in St Paul for this night anyway.
Yep, more tour dates:

He's on the spotlight for The Creators Project, an ongoing program that focus on artists working through technology. Here's the description of the Squarepusher episode:
In this behind-the-scenes video, Squarepusher talks about his 15-plus year music career. From how he brings his solo studio composition to a live setting, to insights about future collaborations with director Chris Cunningham, whom he collaborated with on his infamous "Come on My Selector" video and the LED mask he used for his “Megazine” video. He also goes in depth about his "hard headed" nature and, even though his collaborations have yielded amazing results, he would screen out suggestions from everyone and compose, record and engineer himself make his sound completely his own.
