The last time All Them Witches were here in Minneapolis, they triple rocked at the Triple Rock with Windhand and Jex Thoth… this time, Austin’s The Well (not to be confused with Norwegian six-piece band also called The Well) set to open the show.
We previously mentioned that The Well trio (singer/guitarist Ian Graham, bassist Lisa Alley, and drummer Jason Sullivan) had an album called Samsara.

Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney are selling out their 2015 shows… Which is fine, as I’ve seen the band many times and unfortunately they are playing the winter time. Read more details about the new Sub Pop album …
Lizzo

It was a typical grrrl prty with Lizzo and Caroline Smith at First Avenue last night, as they unite to celebrate women power. …


SLEATER-KINNEY w/ Lizzo

at First Avenue

Saturday 02/14/15, 8pm ($30/Sold Out)


first-avenue.com



What are you doing on V-Day? If you’re a Sleater-Kinney fan, you’ll be at this sold out show. According to my bad memories and physical ticket stubs, I’ve seen Sleater-Kinney at least three times, and have expressed sadness that the trio broke up in 2006. Nothing made us happier to hear that they’ve returned last year, and obviously the W♥M crew was looking forward to this Sleater-Kinney show since the 2015 tour date announcement.



Also, if you follow news.weheartmusic.com, we already announced that local artist Lizzo is on a national tour with SK. We are very proud of this, as she’s been empowering women to voice their thoughts, but breaking across music genre and newfound fans! There are only a handful of local Minneapolis bands that can say the same thing. Very excited to see her name listed on the bill.

Joe Driscoll & Sekou Kouyate

Joe Driscoll & Sekou Kouyate return to North America on the heels of a triumphant debut in 2014. After the release of their acclaimed album Faya by Cumbancha Discovery and a successful tour in the summer of 2014
….


JOE DRISCOLL & SEKOU KOUYATE

at Cedar Cultural Center

Sunday 02/15/15, 7pm ($18)


thecedar.org



There’s something compelling about seeing two different people from two different worlds teaming up together (for example Habib Koite and Eric Bibb; Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal). Guinea’s Sekou Kouyate, known in France as the “Jimi Hendrix of the kora”, with Bristol-based Joe Driscoll, whom Cee-Lo Green labelled “the gangsta with an iron lung”, are currently making music together… and currently in America supporting their latest Faya album.



Kouyate best described their collaboration as simply that he doesn’t speak English and Driscoll doesn’t speak French, but somehow they understand each other.



See them live at the Cedar on February 15th at the Cedar.

….
Chappo

Two bands with Louisiana connections, Royal Teeth and CHAPPO, rounded out a high-energy lineup at the Triple Rock Social Club, warming the crowd inside as yet another sub-zero winter’s night lay outside.
….


WHITE ARROWS w/ Chappo

at 7th Street Entry

Sunday 02/15/15, 7pm ($10)


first-avenue.com



We previously saw White Arrows at their second show in Minneapolis in 2012, which we noted they played a weird cover of Bruce Springsteen’s classic “I’m On Fire.”



White Arrows’ second and latest album is called In Bardo, which they described as representing an evolution to their next phase of existence.



Opening up the show will be CHAPPO, who is currently touring in support of their Celebrate EP. We previously saw the band in 2014, which we described as “the evening then took a spaceship detour for a trippy performance from Brooklyn psych-rock band, CHAPPO (vocalist/multi-instrumentalists Alex Chappo and Chris Olson, drummer Zac Colwell, guitarist Dave Feddock) debuting songs from their upcoming second album, Future Former Self, which follows their debut, Moonwater (Major Domo Records).”



Also, local Minneapolis duo Grand Courriers set to open this Sunday show.

….


MARC BROUSSARD

at Varsity Theater

Sunday 02/15/15, 7pm ($22)


varsitytheater.org



Back when we were interviewing with one band a week, I used one of Marc Broussard‘s song in our interview with Anberlin. He has this very retro soulful sound, sometime upbeat and funky and sometime very smooth and comforting.
