Hoodie Allen is currently on his
With or Without You 2022 summer tour. The tour mark the 10-year anniversary of his first commercially released album
All American. We caught the rapper during the tour for that album in
Sept 2013 and wrote, “NYC indie rapper Hoodie Allen got the festivities started with an energetic 40 min. set, playing to a crowd that was clearly his fanbase. Starting with ‘Fame’, a recent collaboration with Chiddy Bang, the 25 year-old rapper got everyone moving immediately concentrating mostly on tracks from his most recent self-released full-length, All American, mashing up songs and keeping the set momentum moving (even U mascot Goldy Gopher jumped on stage to join in).”
Although not officially on the venue’s website, we are told that Phoenix's
Belaganas will open the show. The trio (vocalist Shanker, vocalist Joey J, and guitarist/drummer Nick Wille) formed in 2018 when they were teenagers.

MUNA
with Jensen McRae
at First Avenue

Muna recently appeared with
King Princess, in
Jan 2022, “MUNA (Katie Gavin; Naomi McPherson; Josette Maskin) would be up first, with a six-song, twenty-five-minute set that was determined to get the crowd moving en masse, and succeeded due to their restless stage presence and catchy, mostly uplifting songs including set opener, “Number One Fan”. Two slower tempo, more “country-ish” songs were done mid-set, including a yet-to-be released new song earmarked for their next album, “Kind of Girl”.”
The trio is back in town, this time as headliner at First Avenue, with
Jensen McRae to open.

Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen and Julien Baker
at Surly Brewing Festival Field

The
The Wild Hearts Tour is stopping by Surly Brewing Festival Field this Tuesday, August 9th. The Wild Hearts Tour is an epic co-headlining tour featuring
Angel Olsen,
Sharon Van Etten, and
Julien Baker, all known for their incredible, cathartic live performances.
We last saw
Angel Olsen in
Oct 2017 and wrote, “Now, let me state the obvious: Angel Olsen has a voice that makes knees weak, blind men see and dreams come true. Hyperbole aside, it truly is a stunning thing, both vulnerable and sensual, reminding me of great vocalists like Brenda Lee or Patsy Cline.”
We saw
Sharon Van Etten in
July 2014 and said, “Sharon Van Etten has this uncanny Daredevil radar, where she can zero on any given audience band member and then have a personal conversation with her fans. It's clear to me that Van Etten has an engaging relationships with her biggest fans...”
Julien Baker in
Nov 2021, we noted, “Baker has also gained recent attention as part of indie supergroup
boygenius (with
Phoebe Bridgers and
Lucy Dacus) and though always armed with a Southern charm and politeness towards the crowd, has become more confident since
we first saw her in 2017 and even more comfortable with her songs and stage presence than in
her opening slot in 2018.”

Flip Rushmore
with Friend Dog and Lazenlow
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com
Minneapolis band
Flip Rushmore (Alex Smith, Dan Klauer, Nick Spielman, Adam Szczepaniak, and Mike Green) is having an EP Release Party this August 10 at the 7th Street Entry.
Flip Rushmore’s debut album,
Big, If True, spent 21 weeks on the Muzooka College Radio Charts and peaked at No. 70 in late 2019. Reviewers mentioned that they sound like
Queens of the Stone Age to
Beck.
Their biography lists that the band went from Minneapolis to Nashville and back, again, for their second major release, a new EP called
Choose Your Villains Wisely. Some songs were inspired by billionaire space travel (“Waxwing”) to the murder of George Floyd (“Platypuseidon”) to mass shootings (“The Loathsome Crowded West”), etc. Clearly they have a lot to say about the state of the world.
Friend Dog (aka Vinnie Donatelle) and
Lazenlow ( 3-piece out of Minneapolis that includes Vocalist Gillian Needham, Guitarist/Producer Ghost Channels, and drummer Mo Bluntz) to open.
If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to
[email protected] with a good lead time. Thank you.
