JUKEBOX THE GHOST
at Varsity Theater
Tuesday 01/20/15, 6:30pm ($16)
varsitytheater.org
We last heard from Washington’s Jukebox the Ghost when they went on tour with Matt Pond (aka Matt Pond PA), but the trio will be back in town as part of their headlining tour in support of their latest full-length self-titled album (Yep Roc Records). The tour starts next week, January 14th in Cleveland.
Opening up for the band will be Nashville’s Twin Forks. I randomly caught Twin Forks in 2013 (they were billed as Twin Falls, but they had a last minute change in name to avoid confusion with other Twin Falls bands) and noted that they had massive buzz at the show. Although Twin Forks were the opening band, I suspect many attendees were there to check out this Chris Carrabba new project.
New York based melodic alt-rockers Secret Someones will also open the show, please note opening time (7:30pm). They were previously in Minneapolis in September at the Triple Rock in support of their debut EP I Won’t Follow (Cherrytree/Interscope Records). Before my winter hibernation, these girls (and one lone guy) are the sort of bands I would have normally attended, but unfortunately their show fell on the same date as Festival Palomino (09/20/2014).

JOSÉ JAMES
at Dakota Jazz Club
Wednesday 01/21/15, 7pm ($35)
dakotacooks.com
Hip hop/jazz musician José James is returning to Minneapolis for a two-night residency at the Dakota Jazz Club. His second album for Blue Note Records is called While You Were Sleeping, which he explained was a nod to more contemporary artists:
“This album is a synthesis of everything I love about music, from contemporary artists like Frank Ocean, James Blake, and Junip to groundbreaking artists I grew up with like Nirvana, Radiohead, and Madlib. It’s also a love letter to many late nights spent in East London clubs like Plastic People and Cargo, watching new movements unfold in electronic music. I want people to feel the joy of discovery that I experience night after night onstage, reaching for something new.”
Although he did not name Billie Holiday in that quote, chances are he love her music so much that he will feature her music as part of his “José James presents Yesterday I Had The Blues: The Music of Billie Holiday” show.
Tour dates:

RIPPER
at Turf Club
Wednesday 01/21/15, 8pm ($6)
turfclub.net
We first saw this local trio Ripper (although according to the details below, they are a quartet) at the Julian Casablancas show in November 2014, and I also noted that they share the same name as the metal band.
I’ve said it before, but band names are hard.
I see so many same band names (for example Lungs and recently Prince the band).
Anyway, the Ripper EP release party is taking place this January 21st, with Danger Ron & The Spins (who was last seen in early Rocktober) and DONX.

VASELINES w/ Amanda X
at Cedar Cultural Center
Thursday 01/22/15, 7:30pm ($18)
thecedar.org
We’ve already mentioned that The Vaselines will be in Minneapolis this January 22nd, but we didn’t mention that Philadelphia’s Amanda X will open the show. I believe it may be their last appearance with Vaselines, before they head back home.
According to their tour poster, Amanda X was last seen in Minneapolis at Minnehaha Free Space on August 28th.
