Acclaimed artist Claud recently released “Tommy”, the first new material since their impressive debut album, Super Monster (Saddest Factory Records).

Of course, we heard “Tommy” in Oct 2021, when Claud was touring with Bleachers, “There was a new song in the set, called “Tommy”, which Claud said they wrote six weeks ago, when they went on tour...”

Claud is returning to Minneapolis, at the Fine Line this Feb 27th, with Jackie Hayes and Dad Bod.

The Birthday Massacre
with Julien-K and Plague of Stars
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com

Veteran darkwave ensemble The Birthday Massacre will stop by the Fine Line on March 1st, in support of their ninth album Fascination (Metropolis Records).

We previously caught the band in May 2017 and wrote, “Light again dimmed and headliner The Birthday Massacre emerged, beginning its eighty-minute set with the opening ‘One’ and its beginning lyric, “Caught up in the waves in death of the day, sing like sirens in shadows”. The Toronto band has been in existence for almost two decades, continually gaining acclaim and a greater audience, but still remains a bit of a dark wave musical secret and cult band (hence, the fans in bunny ears) to most mainstream audiences.”

Julien-K and Plague of Stars to open.

This is Phoebe Bridgers’ record label, and Claud had the honor to be the first artist to sign on. ...

Popular American pop band Bleachers sold out the Fillmore, in Minneapolis, on October 26th.

We’ve been meaning to check out Minneapolis’ latest concert venue, The Fillmore, for quite a while now. The venue opened up in February 2020, during the pandemic shutdown, and only started booking shows in August/September 2021. We actually tried to see a show there in October, but the show was canceled at the last minute due to someone in the band getting COVID.

The venue is quite nice and elegant (complete with chandeliers) and large… a massive 22,000 square feet, to accomodate 1,500 attendees. Next to the Varsity Theater, the Fillmore is one of the nicest looking venues around the city.

Opening up this all-ages show was Chicago’s Claud (Claud Mintz), accompanied by a guitarist. Claud played some tracks from their album Super Monster, the first record on Phoebe Bridgers’ record label, Saddest Factory.

Songs, played early in the set, “In or In-Between” and “That's Mr. B**** to You” sounded very personal and introspective.

There was a new song in the set, called “Tommy”, which Claud said they wrote six weeks ago, when they went on tour with Bleachers.

Highlight of the set was “Guard Down”, which Claud played piano and replaced “New York” with “Minneapolis”, making the crowd cheer when they heard their city’s name.

Claud ended their set with “Wish You Were Gay” and song finale, “Soft Spot”… perfectly ending on the 30-minute mark.

We’ve seen Bleachers before, they’re a really fun pop group from New York. This time around, joining songwriter/record producer Jack Antonoff (who is also in Steel Train, Fun, and Red Hearse) on stage were keyboardist Evan Smith, guitarist Mikey Hart, drummer/keys Sean Hutchinson, drummer Mike Riddleberger, and saxophonist Zem Audu.

Starting their set with “Let's Get Married”, followed by “Shadow”, the band had the audience sing along to their high-energy songs.

I think the coolest thing about Bleachers is that Antonoff would personalized random merchandises, like writing on patches, so some lucky fans could get something interesting when they visit the merch table.

Bleachers’ latest Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night is out now on RCA Records.
