EXTREME
at Mill City Nights
Thursday 01/29/15, 8pm ($49.95)
millcitynights.com
“More Than Words” by Extreme was the #1 song of 1991 Summer. I can distinctively remember so many of my school classmates (especially the girls) were into these guys.
Like many bands from the 90s, Extreme is back, this time touring in support of their 25th anniversary of their most popular album Pornograffitti (which featured “More Than Words”). The rock band will be performing the entire album front to back, plus a few other surprises.
I have seen some of these album tours before, they can be somewhat challenging to the performers because they have to change various instruments (or have a dedicated pre-tuner) when they switch songs.
If you can’t make it to a show, the band recently announced Extreme II: Pornograffitti (A Funked Up Fairy Tale) will be re-issued as a deluxe edition. You know, I love my Deluxe Editions, so this album is on my radar. Extreme II: Pornograffitti (A Funked Up Fairy Tale) will be out this January 20th and will contain the full second album, plus rare mixes and b-sides (re-mastered from the original tapes).
Since it’s 25 years later, don’t expect slow burning cigarette lighters at their shows, but instead, a lot of camera phone lights slowly waving in the air…

SAINT MOTEL
at 7th Street Entry
Saturday 01/31/15, 8pm ($10)
first-avenue.com
Touring on their way to Coachella 2015 (and I’m assuming they’ll likely play SXSW 2015 as well), Saint Motel will be stopping by Minneapolis’ 7th Street Entry on Saturday, January 31st.
You may recall that we caught them with Arctic Monkeys last year and was blown away by their performance.
Saint Motel’s latest release is My Type EP, which came out mid-August last year via Parlophone UK.
Jess’ favorite band in the world The Moth And The Flame will open the show. We’ve been writing about TMATF since 2012, but finally got a chance to see them in person last year (their first time in Minneapolis).
