The last time we saw this Australian/English band Allo Darlin’, I noted that singer Elizabeth Morris reminded me of Camera Obscura…. and also they had the world’s smallest ukulele on stage.



The band is back in the states, promoting their third album We Come From The Same Place, which came out earlier this month via Slumberland (US) / Fortuna Pop! (UK).

Generationals

For a Monday night, the turnout for Generationals and Brass Bed’s concert at 7th Street Entry in downtown Minneapolis was exceptional.


GENERATIONALS with Springtime Carnivore

at 7th Street Entry

Sunday 11/02/14, 7:30pm


$12: first-avenue.com



New Orleans’ Generationals is back in Minneapolis, in support of their fourth studio album Alix, out now on Polyvinyl Records.



The band was last seen in Minneapolis last year, which I briefly attended, but noted that turnout was “exceptional” for a Monday night. With a strong fanbase, I’m sure this Sunday turnout should be just as good… so show up early for a good spot and see Los Angeles’ Springtime Carnivore, a woman called Greta “of twelve siblings”. Springtime Carnivore’s self-titled debut album will be out November 4th via Autumn Tone.

“Ladies and gentlemen, hello.” Luke Temple opened his set at Union Pool Thursday with a simple line, fitting for his simple set-up: just him and a guitar. Playing solo (Temple is also in New York band Here We Go Magic), Temple’s …


BLONDE REDHEAD with Luke Temple

at Varsity Theater

Tuesday 11/04/14, 7pm


$18: varsitytheater.org



I’ll be honest, I’m actually really excited to see NYC’s Blonde Redhead back in Minneapolis. We have already mentioned their new album Barragán (Kobalt Music) and tour dates in August … but November is here and Blonde Redhead will be in the city on November 4th at the Varsity Theater.



Here We Go Magic’s Luke Temple is listed as opener for the upcoming tour. You may recall that we covered his solo effort via Northside Festival in New York, and described it as “quiet” and “sad tone” (which is very different than Here We Go Magic’s music).
