Brooklyn-based ensemble Sammy Rae & The Friends just had a party at the Palace Theatre in St Paul on October 5th. It certainly didn’t feel like a concert, but more like Sammy Rae and her friends on a typical Thursday night, just goofing around and having a lot of fun.

Opening the show was local band Kiss the Tiger, who said they’ve never played the Palace before, and they were really impressed with the (“old but new”) venue. We were at the Palace open house in December 2016 and wrote, “Downtown St. Paul will add another jewel to its cultural crown soon and what's old is new again as the Palace Theatre is soon to re-open, for the first time since 1984, on 7th Place, a pedestrian-only block in the heart of the city center.”

Kiss the Tiger is fronted by dynamic lead singer Meghan Kreidler, with rhythm guitarist Michael Anderson, guitarist Bridger Fruth, bassist Paul DeLong, and drummer Jay DeHut. They played their new single, “There You Are (Beautiful)” in the middle of the set, followed by an old favorite, “Hold On To Love”, which held The Current’s Chart Show Hall of Fame for the #1 spot for nine straight weeks.

My personal favorite is Kiss the Tiger’s set closer, “Elliot Park”, featuring the catchy audience participation “alright oh yeah”.

Sammy Rae & The Friends (28 Oct 2022)

What can I say about Sammy Rae & The Friends that haven’t already been said? Their fanbase was built largely on word of mouth, thanks to Rae’s personality and their really fun concerts. The last time we saw them, they were dressed up as the Scoobie gang at First Avenue (Oct 2022): “As you can see, Sammy Rae and the Friends were in the Halloween spirit, as everyone was in costume as Scoobie Doo and the Scoobie gang. The band has a ton of fans, and they are certainly one of the funnest band around.”

Could it be possible that the band got even more fans to attend the Palace Theatre? The lineup to get to the front door stretched around the block. Sammy Rae, noting the large turnout, “If you’ve never heard of us… welcome! If you know (us), you know…”

On this tour, it would seem that the theme is Sammy Rae and the Friends going to camp or probably lost in the wilderness. The stage dress was amazing, with a large hand drawn trees backdrop, a tent, vines and shrubbery, with wooden directional signs. A lot of thought and effort was put into creating the stage, and to complete the theme, the band is dressed in survival safari gear. They really committed to the whole thing, it was awesome.

The Friends conists of Kellon Reese (alto saxophone), Max Zooi (tenor saxophone), James Quinlan (bass), Debbie Tjong (keys and background music), Will Leet (guitarist), and C-Bass Chiriboga (drums). While Rae said she’s influenced by Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, the Sammy Rae and the Friends’ music is more funk, jazz, and rock.

Their new live album Sammy Rae & The Friends Live – The If It All Goes South Tour is out now and collects some of their favorite live recordings. The album does represent the band as a high-energy and spirited band, as experienced through audio…. But really the best way to experience Sammy Rae and the Friends is to see them live, for yourself.

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Cut Worms (aka Max Clarke) is out on tour in support of his new self-titled album (available on Jagjaguwar).

We saw Cut Worm at Desert Daze 2018 and wrote, “There was a rather stark contrast of ear-piercing rock music amidst this stunning scenery, but in a way, it just made sense that people were swimming on unicorn floaties while listening to the tunes of Cut Worms or Julia Holter. The installations scattered around-from teepees with hanging seashells formed into jellyfish to a space-ship treehouse on stilts-gave everyone something to marvel at in between sets or even all day, if one felt so inclined.”

British rock band Slowdive are touring in support of their new album everything is alive.

Slowdive (31 Oct 2014)

One of my favorite shows ever, was seeing Slowdive on Halloween at the Fine Line on 31 Oct 2014. Since they don’t celebrate Halloween in the UK, the band had a blast dressing up in costume, and making their show an unforgeable experience: “Anyway, Halloween shows are always fun, because half the fun of watching the band is also watching the audience for some great costumes. Usually bands will come on stage in costumes, but for Reading-based Slowdive, they went all out! Not only was everyone, including the audio techs and sound engineers, dressed up, but they went the extra mile and dressed their stage with various Halloween fun like cobwebs, handmade pirate flags, skulls, pumpkins, candies! This tells me the band are really committed to show us a good time!”

Although billed as strictly a "Grace Potter" show ... Kiss the Tiger Sept 20 Kiss the Tiger Bottleneck Kiss the Tiger, Bottleneck- Lawrence, We’re fans of the Minneapolis indie alt-rock band whose third studio release, Vicious Kid, is out now. The band began in late 2016 and has been gradually gaining more attention …

It could not have been a better night for the beginning of the Sparkyard Sound Series at Bauhaus Brew Labs presented by 89.3 The Current. Sue McClean & Associates always put on a great show and last night was no exception as Grace Potter rolled into town under clear skies, low humidity and a setting summer sun.

Local Minneapolis band Kiss the Tiger opened the evening. On their website the band describes their music as: “… good old fashioned rock and roll… a clean burning fire.” And since 2016 they have been a local favorite.

Kiss the Tiger is fronted by dynamic lead singer Meghan Kreidler and she is backed by a solid crew with Michael Anderson on rhythm guitar, Bridger Fruth on lead guitar, Paul DeLong on bass and Jay DeHut on drums.

“Tuesday night! Rock and roll!” Shouted Kreidler as she engaged the crowd to sing along with “Motel Room” and “I Got Love.” Then there was “Out of Mind” an Arabesque, cinematic song that sent the band into an extended guitar solo by Fruth. They also played “Hold on Love”, a song that is in the Current’s Chart Show Hall of Fame for holding the #1 spot for nine straight weeks.

Grace Potter then came on stage with a bundle of burning sage and didn’t waste any time by charging the crowd with “Medicine.”

“I’m falling apart,” Potter said between songs as she worked on her clothing ensemble. “My clothing doesn’t want to stay on.”

She then segued about being from Vermont and having affinity for Minnesotans and their ability to shed clothes as soon as the winter weather reaches 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although she played songs from her previous albums as a solo artist and with the Nocturnals, Potter is on the road promoting her latest album Mother Road, which is out August 18^th. The album was born out of a time during the pandemic when she was living in Vermont, married with one child and recovering from a miscarriage during a brutal winter. To recover/escape Potter took an opportunity to pick up one of the family cars in Los Angeles and turn it into an extended road trip on Route 66.

The road is home for most musicians and Potter was in her element as she played from extended cannon like “Stuck in the Middle” a cover that was the theme song to the TV show “Grace and Frankie.” Then there was “You and Tequila”, a hit she sang with Kenny Chesney. And feeling adventurous, she even pulled out “Someone to Love”, a song she did for the Disney movie Tangled.

A crowd favorite was “The Lion and the Beast”, which had the band on full tilt and Potter channeling her inner Janis Joplin with a voice that seems to come all the way from her toes.

“We have a hard out,” Potter said to the crowd. Being an outdoor show, there could be no music after 10pm. She mentioned that: “Apparently trains are not louder than rock and roll,” pondering who would even live next to an industrial park with train tracks nearby.”

She may have had a hard out, but Potter was determined to sing louder than any oncoming train to the very end.

LA based Multi-platinum two-time GRAMMY-Award nominated artist K.Flay is co-headlining with Grandson (stylized as grandson). The tour will take them to the Palace Theatre in St Paul.

K.Flay (17 May 2017)

We first saw K.Flay in May 2017 and wrote, “Musician singer and songwriter K.Flay just headlined First Avenue last Wednesday, May 17th, in support of her new record Every Where Is Some Where (Interscope/Night Street)… The key difference between the Fine Line show and this First Avenue show is its audience. You see, Go 96.3’s audience is slightly more pop music fans, while the 93x’s audience at First Avenue leaned to the hard rock/metal audience. Still, it didn’t matter if the audience liked pop, rap, or heavy rock, they all move to songs like ‘The Cops’ and ‘Hollywood Forever’. ”

Multi-hyphenate experimental band Bayonne (aka Roger Sellers) is currently on tour in support of his new album Temporary Time (Nettwerk Records). The tour will take them to Minneapolis, at the 7th Street Entry.

Bayonne (04 Apr 2017)

We caught Bayonne in April 2017 and compared him to Thom Yorke: “Opening up the show was Austin’s Bayonne, the stagename for one-man-band Roger Sellers, with a brief 30-min set. Armed with headphones and using various loops and pre-recorded beats, combined with raw vocal performances and sometime live instruments, Bayonne was able to recreate some unique songs. Some of the songs sounded like what Thom Yorke (Radiohead) would create with his experiments.”

mmeadows to open.

Kicking off the Sue McLean & Associates and Bauhaus Brew Labs’ Summer 2023 outdoor Sparkyard Sound Series is headliner Grace Potter on Tuesday, June 13th.

We’re big fans of Sue McLean shows, and with the previous McLean’s show at Utepils Brewery and any shows at the Minnesota Zoo, we can say that these shows are some of our favorites. In fact, we’re hoping to cover more McLean shows as the Summer rolls in.

Grace Potter (22 Oct 2015)

We last saw Grace Potter at the State Theatre in Oct 2015 and described it as, “Although billed as strictly a "Grace Potter" show, it felt very much like a regular Grace Potter & the Nocturnals show, with over 60% of their set featuring Nocturnals songs, including some of their biggest hits, on the encore: "Apologies" (a request for a fan), "The Lion The Beast The Beat", and "Paris (Ooh La La)". Unlike previous Nocturnals shows, Potter is actively dancing and bouncing back and forth throughout the night. Plus "costume changes" like putting on her cape (during "Timekeeper"), taking off clothing on "Nothing But the Water I" and removing shoes for "Medicine". The latter song, she invited the audience to come closer and dance.”

Kiss the Tiger at Bottleneck (22 Feb 2022)

Local group Kiss the Tiger will open. We’ve previously seen them in Feb 2022 at Lawrence, Kansas: “Next up was a Twin Cities favorite, Minneapolis band Kiss the Tiger, who had their third studio release, Vicious Kid, come out last June and is on their first brief tour outside of the Upper Midwest. The band began in late 2016 and has been gradually gaining more attention ever since, named a “Picked to Click” band by former alt-weekly City Pages in 2019.”

So far, the other two Sparkyard Sound Series shows scheduled are Shakey Graves & Lucius (we love Lucius!) on July 28 and St. Paul & The Broken Bones (these guys are full of energy and amazing live) on August 17.

Please note that these outdoor shows, due to curfews and noise ordinances, takes place incredibly early. Doors at 5pm, music at 6pm, so be there early.

The pair first met as thrash metal fans in their native Mexico City, then left to find bigger fortunes in Dublin and are in support of their latest, 9 Dead Alive (Rubyworks Records), which pays tribute to a different social champion in each of its songs.”

Pansy Division
with Bev Rage & The Drinks and Lumari
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

I may have told this story before, but I used to be a volunteer radio DJ at Fresno State’s KFSR 90.7 FM. My timeslot was Thursday from 10pm to midnight, I mostly stuck to Britpop … but my friend, the late Melinda (aka Black Velveeta), would play some quirky “cheesy” stuff, everything from April March to the Sleestacks to Cranes to Mr T Experience to Wally Pleasant. She loves those weird bands.

Anyway, one day, we got a CD from Pansy Division in the early 90s and we loved it. I guess, back then, being gay wasn’t something you talk about. But Pansy Division, they were openly gay, and it really inspired so many other bands to follow in their footsteps.

Now, I’ve never seen Pansy Division live (if I had, I probably blacked out and don’t remember), but Melinda did see them with Green Day. I don’t know if I believe her, but she told me that someone had a bag of sh*** and threw it at Billie Joe… because their album was called Dookie.

Anyway, the band is celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album Undressed (Lookout! Records) with a special 2023 shows. If you’ve never seen the band live, here is your chance!

Pansy Division will play the 7th Street Entry on June 15th with support from Bev Rage & The Drinks and Lumari.

06/16 Billie Marten with Olivia Kaplan at 7th St Entry

Billie Marten
with Olivia Kaplan
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

Yorkshire’s Billie Marten is touring in support of her new album Drop Cherries (IMPERIAL Music).

The album was recorded entirely on tape in Somerset and Wales late last summer, and it marks the very first time that Billie Marten has both written and co-produced (with Dom Monks) one of her records.

The title is taken from a tale she heard from a friend just before she was starting to create songs for the album, and the title track came soon after. It’s a metaphor where the gift of cherries stands for offering someone your love; doing anything you can to make them happy. “Dropping cherries,” she begins, “is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship. Imagine stamping blood-red cherries onto a clean, cream carpet and tell me that’s not how love feels.”

The singer/songwriter will stop by the 7th Street Entry on June 16th.

Olivia Kaplan to open.

Temples (12 Oct 2019)

We saw Temples at Desert Daze in Oct 2019 and said, “Oh, man. Temples. The best show of the night. These guys single-handedly made the entirety of Desert Daze worth it all. God bless this British rock band. The mostly played tracks from their newest album Hot Motion, while throwing in Keep in the Dark towards the end of their set.

Bush
at Fillmore Minneapolis

I believe the upcoming Bush concert at the Fillmore on Feb 6, 2023, is a make-up date for their 2020 tour in support of The Kingdom. As many of you know, 2020 proved to be a terrible year for live events due to the pandemic.

In the 90s, Bush was a massive band… but they broke up after 2000.

In 2010, the band reformed to play their first show in 8 years, and since then changed their line-up and created new songs.

With the new 2022/2023 tour, Bush released another new album, The Art of Survival.

The Charlatans UK and RIDE
with DJ Jake Rudh
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Two of the UK’s most enduring and best-loved bands, The Charlatans (known in the USA as The Charlatans UK due to conflicting name with the American band of the same name) and Ride is on a co-headlining tour - and guess what? They’re stopping in Minneapolis on Feb 9th.

Charlatans / Stereophonics at the Quest (03 Apr 2000)

We saw The Charlatans and Tim Burgess before W♥M existed… in 2000 and 2001: “As you know, I am a big British music fan, so the co-headlining tour of The Charlatans (or as they're known in America as Charlatans UK) and Stereophonics at the Quest in 2000 could not be missed. At that time, I wasn't that familiar with Stereophonics, I was mostly at that show (which I could have sworn it was at the Fine Line Music Café) to see The Charlatans. I loved "Weirdo" and "The Only One I Know", which, when I saw Tim Burgess solo at First Avenue a few years later, he only did his solo music (boo!).”

Ride at Mill City Nights (29 Sep 2015)

As for Ride, we saw them on their reunion tour in Sep 2015, “Reunions are special, not only do the band get back to doing what they loved, but they are also reuniting their fans to come together in one place. Personally speaking, we met and saw so many old shoegazing fans and friends. Some of these fans have not been seen at other shows... but for Ride, of course, they'll come out. Many believed that this is perhaps the last time Ride will play here. Also, plenty of local bands (who were inspired by Ride and the music they help pioneer) came out to the show - in particular Ed Ackerson (of BNLX; Polara) and Two Harbors were spotted at the show.”

Bella White is described as “22 year old was born and raised in rural Canada by two musician parents. She was thrust into the world of Bluegrass as a young child (her father is from Virginia) - learning fingerpicking guitar and mandolin and going to jams and competitions on the weekends. And although White isn't a rigid purist, she deeply believes it's her duty to carry this music tradition forward, to keep it alive and turn kids her age onto it.”

Read more Kansas City Music Guide.

September has been more like “Rocktember” with a busy month of shows so far, but Rocktober next month looks busy as well, so use those concert dollars wisely.

The pandemic lockdown still has ripple effects, from re-scheduled and postponed shows to artists taking time off for their mental health well-being. Rising star KennyHoopla was one of those, supposed to play The Truman this week but writing, "I need to take this time to focus on myself and my mental health. I will be back soon - a stronger human and artists for myself and all of you. Once again, I apologize.”  We wish him the best.

Here’s what’s happening in the Kansas City/Lawrence, KS metro September 19th-25th.

Pavement first teased this reunion back in June 2019, announcing they would reunite starting with Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival in 2020. Those shows were eventually postponed because of the pandemic, but the reunion tour is now in full swing. Pavement broke up in 1999 and reunited for the first time in 2010. ‘We are just going to play these songs together, we like each other, and so this will be familiar”, leader Stephen Malkmus has said.

Electro-pop/sound collage openers Annalibera are led by Anna Gebhardt who emerged from a classical music background in 2015 and latest album Moon Bath, was made in collaboration with producer Philip Rabalais.

Kiss the Tiger, Bottleneck- Lawrence, FREE

We’re fans of the Minneapolis indie alt-rock band whose third studio release, Vicious Kid, is out now. The band began in late 2016 and has been gradually gaining more attention ever since, named a “Picked to Click” band by former alt-weekly City Pages in 2019.

Thursday Sept 22

Of Montreal, Granada Theater-Lawrence, $22

The Athens GA alt indie-pop band has been busy during the lockdown, releasing I Feel Safe with You, Trash last year, and now their eighteenth studio album, Freewave Lucifer F<ck F^ck F>ck was released in late June.

His fourth successful Netflix special, Live at the LA Forum, just started streaming and this Independence, MO show, is a relatively small venue, so catch him here, a little more close-up, than elsewhere. The comedian is on his Funny is Funny World Tour.

The name Ozomatli is derived after the Nahuatl word for the Aztec astrological symbol of the monkey, the god of dance, fire and music with latest album being 2020’s Moving On.

The Grammy winners have even served as Cultural Ambassadors to the U.S. and embarked on a number of government-sponsored tours, created a song for the LA Dodgers, and performed with numerous orchestras across the States. And, it’s a free show!

Freedy Johnston, Bottleneck-Lawrence, $20

Longtime Kansas Americana singer-songwriter has a new album, Back on the Road to You, released earlier this year. Lawrence band Get Smart! who reunited in 2020, will open.

GWAR, Grinders KC, $30-$59

Prepare to get messy in the best possible way, as your Lords and maggot Masters host the fabled GWAR-B-Q on their Black Death Rager Tour with special guests Light the Torch, Nekrogoblikon & Crobot. Food, booze, tunes, and no doubt a lot of showered blood, make this a memorable summer tradition.

Chicago Comedy All-Stars, TPAC, $25-$35

The British folk alt-rock duo returns to these shores in support of fourth full-length, Blue Hours, released in May (via Communion Records which they co-founded) and debuting at #6 in the UK.

Clinton Kane, Madrid Theatre, $26-$51

Australian pop singer-songwriter (LA-based, of Filipino/Norwegian heritage) finally released his debut full-length, Maybe Someday It’ll All Be OK with newest single, “14”. He is also a Vevo DSCVR Artist to Watch for 2022.

True legends.

The King Khan & BBQ Show is returning to the Minneapolis area, at the Fine Line Music Café this Sep 2nd.

We’ve seen “Brown James Brown” King Khan solo and Mark Sultan (BBQ) solo, but together, they’re a unique rock force. The last time we saw the duo together was in Nov 2009, at the Triple Rock Social Club and described them as “The King Khan & BBQ Show, they are an interesting modern band with minimalistic setup and plays a weird mixture of 50s doo-wop and Surf music. They've got a ton of fans, who lined up hours before the show.”
