The National are on their first tour since 2019… stopping by Surly Brewing Festival Field on September 14th.

Summer 2022 is a time for reunion. We look forward to gathering with friends, old and new. United in music and light, suspended in time. We hope you can join us."

The National has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from each ticket will benefit the PLUS1 Ukraine Relief Fund, supporting the people of Ukraine through effective grassroots nonprofits providing humanitarian aid, refugee support and access to critical information; and Buffalo String Works and their work to ignite personal and community leadership through accessible, youth-centered music education.

Highly Suspect
with Artikal Sound System
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Highly Suspect is not only kicking off their 2022 fall headlining tour in Minneapolis… but they are playing a two-night residency at First Avenue on Sep 16 and Sep 17.

The band’s latest album, The Midnight Demon Club will be out on September 9th.

We last saw Highly Suspect on Mar 31, 2017 and said, “It wasn’t too long before Highly Suspect took the stage to a very restless sold out audience. Any possible signs that the band was on stage were greeted with huge cheers (even for the awkward stage hand who was just trying to adjust the mic). As we previously mentioned, we caught the band as opener in September 2015 and were impressed that more than half the audience was there for Highly Suspect.”

Alice Glass ( of Crystal Castles )
with Uffie
at Amsterdam Bar & Hall
first-avenue.com

If you are a fan of Crystal Castles, you all know what happened, Alice Glass accused her music partner Ethan Kath of sexual, physical, and mental abuse and left the band in 2017. Since then, Glass produced music under Alice Glass.

Alice Glass’ official debut album is called PREY//IV, and is out now via Eating Glass Records.

Speaking about the new project Glass shares, “I hope this record reaches those who need to know that they are not alone in this world—who need to know that it’s ok to be hurting. I hope, for some, that it will give them the courage to find a path away from the toxic situations they are experiencing.”

On the autumn days in the middle of October (thank god because we would all melt in the otherwise typical days of such shenanigans) will bestow the 6th installation of the transcendent music festival Desert Daze in Joshua Tree, California. It is known that J Tree (as us locals call it) has a somewhat spiritual energy about it, and musicians have been flocking there for years to get juiced on the wondrous inspiration that the desert embodies. So it’s fitting that some of the most eclectic artists in the game right now would be part of this special lineup. Music lovers camp onsite under the stars for this 4 day event.

While last year’s lineup was oodles of impressive (Washed Out, Deerhunter and The Black Angels, to name a few) this year will be equally scintillating. Thursday night John Dayer of On Sees and Troy Bootow of Death Hymn Number 9 will DJ, amongst other special guests. Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile and the Sea Lice will be kicking off Friday, playing tunes from their collaborative album that is expected to be released later this year. Adult Swim will present Things You’ve Never Seen in a Desert!, and Prettiest Eyes (a local LA band), Panda Bear, Ariel Pink, Liars, Boris, La Femme, The Budos Band, Lee Fields & the Expressions will follow, amongst others.

Saturday and Sunday will be filled with Iggy Pop, John Cale, Tortoise, The Gories, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton, Twin Peaks, Avey Tare, Mr. Elevator, JJUUJJUU, Mint Field, Spiritualized, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions, Eagles of Death Metal, Allah-Las, Atlas Sound, John Dwyer DJ set, Khruangbin, Cigarettes After Sex, Weyes Blood, L.A. Witch, Jerry Paper, Death Valley Girls, and Fever the Ghost. Weyes Blood will by far be the of the upmost importance for moi, as her latest album Front Row Seat To The Earth has been in heavy rotation for the past year.

Danny Perez, Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show, Billgazer, The Blindspot Project, and Cloaking will provide all three outdoor stages with projections all weekend long.

Sonic performances will run alongside panel speakers, curated daily film screenings, and the Mystic Bazaar’s daily schedule of metaphysical workshops.

The Institute of Mentalphysics, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Son, founded by Ding Le Mei, a westerner turned Tibetan Monk, is the oldest and largest spiritual retreat center in the western United States. The beautifully maintained grounds of garden paths, fountains, labyrinths and captivating architecture rest atop a rare confluence of three underground aquifers and a measurable magnetic field which causes a palpable energetic effect on those who visit. Audience members have the chance of staying in one of Wright’s on site cottages, or camping under the vast, twinkling desert sky. Limited in capacity to provide the kind of personal experience that just can’t be had at larger festivals, you don’t just go to Desert Daze, you profoundly experience Desert Daze.

Japanese trio Boris will be performing Pink in its entirety to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their record. That’s not all, you can get a chance to pick up a new Deluxe Edition of Pink, featuring the original track listing, plus unreleased tracks on a glorious 3xLP box set or 2xCD set.

It’s hard to believe that Boris still maintained their classic trio lineup for over 20 years and really hasn’t showed signs of slowing down.

Sargent House’s new labelmates Earth will join Boris for the USA dates (sorry, Canada and your “work Visas”).

Also newspaper unfriendly band name Sh**storm will open.

Ke$ha

Oh, god, I don't even know why I love Ke$ha. The first time I heard "Tik Tok" from her debut album Animal, I had to stop and ask "who IS THIS?". After investigating / hearing more …

KESHA
at Aria
Thursday, 08/18/16, 7:30pm ($28 / Sold Out)
ariampls.com

Popstar Kesha is now free to work on (new) music (Zedd and Kesha's recent single ‘True Colors’ is out now on Interscope / Kemosabe / RCA Records). It should be noted that ‘True Colors’ is Kesha's first music in over three years since her court case with former producer Dr. Luke.

The new tour is called “F**k the World” tour, and billed as Kesha and the Creepies, which we are assuming The Creepies is her live band.

Kesha adds, “The day has come that I, now, present to you, Kesha and The Creepies. This project and upcoming tour comes from my deep eternal love of dirty rock & roll and country music. I thrive from making and performing music, and much like a flower with no sun, my soul slowly dies when I don't get to create and perform. So, for a short ride and in mostly small intimate venues, I will be performing a new creepy creation. It's been too long. Until I can release my own music I will be reinventing some of my old songs and some of my favorite songs from my musical idols. I've hand picked songs from artists that have helped shape who I am and the music I make today. I have missed you, all of you, so if you would like to boogie, come join us.”

Although most fans may know her from autotuned pop hits like ‘TiK ToK’ and ‘We R Who We R’... from the sound of it, she is changing her music direction to more southern rock and country music and will mostly play new ‘Creepy’ Will fans follow her in this new venture? Based on the sold-out status of the upcoming Aria show... yes, of course.

Tour dates:

Aug 07 Mad Decent Block Party Brooklyn, NY
Aug 09 House of Blues Cleveland, OH

Boris

Japanese trio Boris will be stopping by Triple Rock Social Club this August 12th as part of their USA tour in support of their latest album Noise, out now on Sargent House. …

Japanese noise rock band Boris is currently touring in the USA in support of their 19th studio album Noise. The band was incredibly pleased at the sold out show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, last night, August 12th.

Typical of any Triple Rock show, we had three bands, with the first being SubRosa. They drone out epic songs, such as the 15-minute song "The Usher" from their More Constant Than The Gods album .... so it's not unusual that they only play one or two songs on their set.

The second was The Atlas Moth, who played 86% songs from their latest album The Old Believer, which came out last month on Profound Lore.

It's hard for someone like me trying to describe Boris to you. While most people will put them into the drone category, when you see them live, they go beyond that. From experimental to a little sludge to metal to shoegaze ... and unexpectedly even a little pop rock! This is, by definition, what the band is trying to achieve, as noted by drummer Atsuo who once said, "Having some kind of preconceived message or theme is very boring to me, it becomes a crutch."

As soon as the band arrived on stage, the audience cheered super loud when Takeshi took the stage in his famous double-neck guitar/bass.

Setlist

As expected with the new release of Noise on Sargent House, the Japanese trio set out to play selective tracks from the new album. The new songs went over well with the crowd in front, moshing on the more hard/speedier songs.

Before the introduction of "Vomitself", both Wata and Atsuo thanked us for "this special night". Atsuo added, in his broken English, "Thank you so much Minneapolis. We had such a good time with you. Few more songs for you tonight."

"Vomitself", with its extended ending/jam session featured Atsuo banging the gong behind him (the only time the gong was used!) and holding up a noise petal/box while standing above their adoring fans. All the hands were up, and, of course, beckoned Atsuo to stage dive into the sea of people.... making for a very satisfying ending to their show.

No encores were given, despite the chants of "Boris! Boris! Boris!", but none was expected, because it would be impossible to top their set finale.

Boris' latest album Noise is out now on Sargent House. Be sure catch the band on tour now in the US.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 10
TRIPLE ROCK SOCIAL CLUB
Man Man w/ Landlady

The band’s name also seems to be the reaction from people who have seen them live, “…man, man!”

Man Man, the alt-experimentalists from Philadelphia are back on the road after a stint with Gogol Bordello, in support of their latest, last year’s On Oni Pond (ANTI- Records).

The phrase “expect the unexpected” is probably never more true, with leader Honus Honus, percussionist Pow Pow, and band serving up something memorable.

Arrive early, as NYC art rock band Landlady with Adam Schatz who plays in Man Man, opens the show promoting Upright Behavior (Hometapes 070).

Rixton

Manchester four-piece Rixton have shot straight into the UK singles chart at Number One with their debut single 'Me And My Broken Heart'. A huge radio smash across the country, the single beat off stiff competition …

MONDAY, AUGUST 11
THE GARAGE IN BURNSVILLE, MN
Rixton

Manchester pop is alive and well again, in the form of UK Pop/R&B foursome, Rixton.

After breaking through to radio with single “Me and My Broken Heart” and stints opening for Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, the band’s Interscope Records EP is setting the stage for an upcoming full-length.

How crazy are U.S. teens eager to see the band? – a recent NYC pop-up gig required police intervention to control the swelling crowds.

The Minneapolis show is in the south metro, at all-ages The Garage in Burnsville, with the lads scheduled to do a 2pm meet-and -greet earlier that day, at the FYE in Burnsville Center.

Boris

But I've also found one band that seems to be an exception to this rule. For some reason, Boris manages to unite all sorts of listeners behind them, despite being one of the more abrasive bands .â€¦

BORIS
inoxia-rec.com/boris

You remember legendary Japanese noise/experimental band Boris? The band was in the U.S. last month to perform their Flood album and greatest hits. Unfortunately, Minneapolis wasn't on the tour itinerary (instead they opted for Chicago), so we couldn't give you any coverage.

As I previously mentioned, it was their greatest hits tour, but it's more like a "from the past, the present and through to the future". The first night, they play the classics and the second night they'll play Flood with a noise/drone/experimental set.

The trio is currently touring Australia, but will be back in New York in July.

At the Fine Line Music Cafe

Here are some bands stopping by the Fine Line Music CafÃ© in Minneapolis. In my experience the layout of the venue is not that viewable on general admission when the place is sold out or just really full. I recommend getting there early to be near the front of the stage to get a great view of the band.

You can check out their full calendar at finelinemusic.com.
