PETER WOLF CRIER
at Turf Club
Friday 01/02/15, 8pm ($8)
turfclub.net
Brian Moen and Peter Pisano wrote, “Twin Cities, it’s been awhile since we’ve been in town…”
It’s true, the last time we saw the band Peter Wolf Crier, it was for their CD release show for Garden of Arms (Jagjaguwar) at the Cedar Cultural Center in September 2011.
They also add on their website, “Dudes, what the hell have you been doing? In short: we are going to be sending the update for the stars, but for now we wanted to say thanks for sticking with us.”
It should be interesting to see what they have in store for 2015 with this special first show for the year on January 2nd at the Turf Club in St Paul, Minnesota. Let’s hope they cover INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart”.
Local BBGun (who previously opened up for The Ericksons in October) and Actual Wolf (who we saw with Johnnyswim in February).

LED ZEPPELIN 2
at Varsity Theater
Saturday 01/03/15, 7:30pm ($15)
varsitytheater.org
As previously mentioned during another Led Zeppelin (Zoso) tribute show, Behzad wrote, “I met a couple of people that make it a priority to attend at least one Led Zeppelin tribute band concert a week! They could rattle off all the different bands and gave critiques of which was better in sound, appearance, and overall showmanship. Unfortunately, these “groupies” weren’t very coherent as they seemed to have pregamed the event very well…”
Count Led Zeppelin 2 as one of the many LZ tribute bands that their “groupies” mentioned.
Tour dates:

OUR LIFE STORY REUNION SHOW
at Triple Rock Social Club
Saturday 01/03/15, 8pm ($7)
triplerocksocialclub.com
Billed as “Our Life Story Reunion Show”, this show is the return of local Our Life Story, who was last seen with 2011’s I’d Rather Change Than Stay The Same.
Our Life Story’s drummer Billy Mitchell is listed to also play in all the opening bands: Griswold, Triple Crossed and Internet Dating. This will be his last show before he moves away.
Just a note, but poor punk band Griswold, they just can’t seem to catch a break. The band’s name is too similar to Australian band The Grisworlds (who we just saw in July 2014). And previously called themselves Sleepyhead… which is in direct conflict with active Boston band Sleepyhead (their 90s debut album was recently reissued on Slumberland Records). Yeah, we get it, coming up with a good band name is hard. Let’s hope if they decide to change their name again, that it is not associated with Twins, Bears, or Gold.
