Triple Rock at Triple Rock: Jaymay, San Cisco, and Hayden

JAYMAY

We first mentioned singer/songwriter Jaymay five years ago and at the time, she just released a split with Kayoko the year before. Guess what? The two will be heading to Minneapolis at the Triple Rock this April 22nd, 2013*.

According to Jaymay’s Facebook (who is very active on social media), she said that she last saw Kayoko on their Japanese tour seven years ago. It should be a fun reunion tour.

Anyway, in the last five years since we wrote about Jaymay: she’s made it to the big time on Conan O’Brien and Craig Ferguson in the States and In the Colored Room in the UK. Her latest album is called 10under2 which was released last year under her own label.

Jaymay’s “The Never Be Daunted” Tour kicks off in April.

UPDATE: ALL EVENTS HAVE BEEN CANCELED DUE TO HEALTH REASONS.

* Note: The Sudden Lovelys will be third on the bill for the Triple Rock show.

SAN CISCO

Yes, our favorite San Cisco is heading back to Minneapolis tonight (March 30th) at the Triple Rock. I will personally be there to welcome the Australian band back.

Opening up will once again be Chaos Chaos, who you may recall played their first ever gig with San Cisco last year.

The ridiculously catchy and popular “Awkward” song (now over 4 million YouTube views), has been be re-released as an EP last Tuesday, March 26th, featuring two new tracks, “Fred Astaire” and “Wild Things” (both songs were previously released as UK and Australian singles). I believe all the songs will be available on San Cisco’s debut album. According to an RCA representative, the record is coming out later this spring.

Tour dates:

Hayden is wrapping up his post-SXSW tour this week, stopping by Minneapolis’ Triple Rock Social Club this Easter Sunday (tomorrow, March 31st).

He is here to promote his seventh album, Us Alone, out now on Arts & Crafts.

Us Alone is probably more stripped down from his previous work, keeping it simple. Hayden explained that the main reason was that it was hard “replicate things like that live.” He also added that his vision for Us Alone was, “I wanted the sound of five people walking into a room and playing a full set. With the exception of some stellar help from friends on a song or two, those five people were mostly just me…”

What’s left of Hayden’s tour:

Opening up will be fellow Canadian Lou Canon, who actually did some guest vocals on Us Alone.
