Beloved Scottish band The Trashcan Sinatras (aka Trash Can Sinatras) will be touring in the US as a 3-piece acoustic band (Frank Reader, Paul Livingston and John Douglas). The group celebrated their 30th anniversary, having formed in Irvine, Scotland in 1987.

There are no opening bands listed, but that shouldn’t be a problem for the TCS, as they have over six albums and hundreds of songs to choose from. We’ve seen the band before, and noted that they tend to change their setlist night, after night.

If you miss the show or want to re-live the show, the band will immediately make the show (recorded from the soundboard) available on exclusive Trashcan Sinatras USB for purchase.

I’m not sure if they will continue using the Obscura Digital setup, but whatever they decide to do for this upcoming tour, it will be nothing short of amazing. ....

World fusion/electron act Beats Antique stopped by the Skyway Theatre on a rainy Thursday night in Minneapolis.

Originally listed as an early show, starting at 7pm, the show was actually delayed doors at 8pm (which meant the first band would not start until 9pm). It did not affect the terrific turnout for the show, as with these sort of shows, they prefer a late start. In typical Beats Antique shows, many of the audience were dressed up for the occasion - plenty of belly dancers, renaissance-style costumes, group costumes, and, of course, the light-up glow sticks and hula hoops dancers. Audience watching is half the fun at these rave-ish shows.

DJ Thriftworks started the evening. He has a fanbase, who gladly showed up early to rave to his mixes. His style is a sort of hip hop with eastern influences, including playing ‘Kendrick Lamar-Money Trees’ from his 2015 Thump/Lucidity Mini-Mix.

He played a couple of his “9 days old” album Red Leopard, and at the end of his set, said, “shout-out to Jeff Bridges, we all love him.”

Next up was funky trio Too Many Zooz (trumpeter Matt, saxophonist Leo, and percussionist ‘King of Sludge’) from New York - their first time in Minneapolis. They were actually quite interesting and I got the feeling that they were used to bustling the streets of New York from the way they handled themselves like it’s no big deal.

The trio closed out their set with a couple of cover songs, including Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ and Bleksem’s ‘How Low Can You Go‬’.

Since the last time we saw Beats Antique, they’ve grown from simply two musicians (David Satori and Tommy “Sidecar” Cappel) and a bellydancer (Zoe Jakes) to adding clarinet player (Sylvain Carton?), several additional dancers/percussionists, and when they needed it, Too Many Zooz to help with horns and additional percussion.

The expanded sound is courtesy of their latest album Shadowbox, which was heavily played in their set - including ‘Three Sisters’, featuring three additional dancers playing on three floor toms.

Also new is that that Zoe Jakes helps out with the music, sometime donning a bass drum. Her role is to create different dance styles and she would show up every other song (between songs she would often go back stage to change costumes, etc).

As usual, Beats Antique creates one of the most visually entertaining and unique shows that you can experience. With 2016’s Shadowbox, the group seem to play around with light and shadows as their new theme.

MARIAN HILL
at First Avenue
Thursday, 10/06/16, 7pm ($20)
first-avenue.com

Philadelphia electro jazz duo Marian Hill will be headlining First Avenue’s mainstage this Thursday, October 6th, this is quite an upgrade from their previous appearance at the sold out 7th Street Entry in October 2015, which we described as “The tiny 7th Street Entry venue was completely packed with young college students, in love with everything they've heard from Marian Hill. It was incredible to watch the entire audience grinding and swaying to their saxophone-heavy songs... which has been written is described as "sax-ual" music. I would also add in a little dubstep, grime, and electronica.”

They would have played longer at the 7th Street Entry show, but they actually ran out of songs... hopefully with their debut album Act One out now, they’ll be able to properly play a longer set.

Vérité will be one of the openers. We saw Verite (aka Kelsey Byrne) in May 2016 and noted she wrote “heartfelt electropop songs”.

Also on the bill is electropop trio Shaed, featuring twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst and singer Chelsea Lee. The band just released their six-track debut EP Just Wanna See via Photo Finish Records.
