Mark Ronson feat. Angel Olsen: True Blue Read More Angel Olsen Angel Olsen will be headlining First Avenue on October 2nd. Olsen fans can look forward to Phases, a collection of B-sides, rarities, and demos on November 10th via Jagjaguwar. ... Mark Ronson Of course, my favorite was Mark Ronson's song "The Bike Song". The music video, directed by Warren Fu, is about Scottish singer Kyle Falconer and his newfound bike and meeting his new bike friends ...

ANGEL OLSEN
angelolsen.com

“True Blue” is the standout track from Mark Ronson’s album Late Night Feelings (available to purchase today), featuring Angel Olsen.

Olsen originally had some doubts about them working together, but as she noted, “I wasn’t sure what it would be like to work with Mark, considering we are both from different production worlds..but it was such a fun, organic experience for me. Seriously. He gave me full reign to try things out - I even play a little guitar on the track (not that I’m a virtuoso player or anything). At the time I’d been listening to a lot of dark disco, specifically Nico's dance version of Heroes. I wanted to make something dark like that, but also something people could skate to. A true roller rink song. Hearing the final track back was so rewarding for me. I can’t say it enough. I hope to play it live! I’m excited to hear the record in its entirety.”

DEAD CROSS
at First Avenue
Tuesday 09/19/2017 (7:30pm/$25)
first-avenue.com

What do you get when you cross Dave Lombardo (from Slayer) with Mike Patton (from Faith No More) and Justin Pearson & Michael Crain (of Retox)? You get Dead Cross. The supergroup’s debut self-title recorded came out on August 4th via Seizure & Desist Records.

Although the band may sound new, the truth is, they’ve been around since 2015, when they made their live debut with vocalist Gabe Serbian in December of that year. Unfortunately, Serbian left the group, so they’ve had to re-record their record … now with Mike Patton’s vocals.

They’ve booked a show at Riot Fest in Chicago this year, and as a special bonus, they’ve added Minneapolis to their limited tour dates for 2017.

Their special guests Secret Chiefs 3 will open.
