MATISYAHU at First Avenuefirst-avenue.com
It’s so weird, but a few years ago, Matisyahu started appearing without yarmulke and facial hair… those few things defined Matisyahu as a rapper who was faithful to the Jewish religion and took his belief almost to the extreme (which meant he couldn’t perform music or “work” after sundown).
Matisyahu explained, “When I started becoming religious 10 years ago it was a very natural and organic process. It was my choice. My journey: to discover my roots and explore Jewish spirituality—not through books but through real life. At a certain point I felt the need to submit to a higher level of religiosity…to move away from my intuition and to accept an ultimate truth. I felt that in order to become a good person I needed rules—lots of them—or else I would somehow fall apart. I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.”
His latest album Akeda (a Hebrew word meaning ‘binding’ or sacrifice) was recorded in Brooklyn’s Studio G with his touring band, Dub Trio (Dave Holmes, Stu Brooks, and Joe Tomino), and was produced by bassist Stu Brooks (with assists from Studio G owner, Joel Hamilton, and Dave Holmes).
Matisyahu will be at First Avenue on Thursday, October 2nd. Opening up will be California’s Radical Something, who had their EP No Sweat, reaching #6 on the iTunes overall album chart.

AGENT ORANGE at 7th Street Entryfirst-avenue.com
If you were into California punk bands from the 80s and 90s, bands like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Vandals, and, of course, Agent Orange from Orange County were on your playlist.
Although there is only one original band member (Mike Palm), you have to give them some respect for carrying that punk torch for so long.
Opening for Agent Orange at the 7th Street Entry will be Kansas City’s The Architects.

OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW at State Theatrehennepintheatretrust.org
Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show will be heading back to Minneapolis at the State Theatre, in support of their latest album Remedy, out now on ATO Records.
The ATO thing is interesting, because prior to 2011, the band was signed to Nettwerk. After a break/hiatus in 2011, the band came back and released Carry Me Back in 2012 on a new label (ATO).
