We caught
Black Midi (stylized as
black midi) one year ago, in
Oct 2021, and described them as “They’re more art-rock/experimental rock. The sound reminds me a little bit of Clinic. Like it or hate it, you can’t deny they drew in a massive crowd and clearly had a big fanbase in Minneapolis, thanks to the fact that their new record Cavalcade (Rough Trade) landed on multiple “Best Albums of 2021 (So Far)” lists. ”

Dylan LeBlanc at Turf Club (03 Feb 2024)

We saw LeBlanc in
Feb 2024 and wrote, “Turn out for Dylan LeBlanc at Turf Club was terrific. A lot of young couples, and country folk music fans in the audience. According to fans, this was LeBlanc’s first tour in five years. His last show was in 2019 (also at the Turf Club), because his 2020 show (also at the Turf Club) was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. So, it’s been a longtime coming to his fans. The American singer-songwriter and guitarist’s latest album Coyote is a semi-autobiographical and a concept album. The record tells the story of Coyote, a man on the run and living a dangerous life. The man find himself in the middle of a criminal underworld of Mexico and struggles to find a way out of this treacherous lifestyle.”

We love these guys. We saw their tour in
Aug 2015 and wrote, “Having previously teamed up on tour, Tim Heidecker and Neil Hamburger are back at it again, stopping by a sold out comedy show at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis last night. In typical Neil Hamburger style, the drunken, badly done hair comb over, safety pinned suit, Hamburger came on stage gripping three drinks, wheezing and coughing.”

We saw TABAH in
July 2016 and wrote, “Tabah is a five-piece electric ensemble that began in 2013, although their first year was described as “unique, aggressive, and difficult experience”. Currently the band features singer/guitarist Cecelia Erholtz, bassist Charlie Bruber, guitarist Jeff Ley, keyboardist Andrew Seitz, and drummer Murphy Janssen.”
We were meant to see 26 Bats! in
March 2024, but, “Although previously advertised as 26 BATS! to open, the band announced two weeks ago that they had to step down due to “personal reasons.””
