KITTEN FOREVER

Wednesday 03/25/15, 8pm ($5)
triplerocksocialclub.com
As usual, triple rock at the Triple Rock…. two catfantastic bands Kitten Forever and Catbath, plus B.O.Y.F.
Kitten Forever was last mentioned when they were one of the triple bands at the Triple Rock with Screaming Females in October 2014. The trio (Corrie Harrigan, Laura Larson, and Liz Elton) has been playing music since 2006. Their latest is 2013’s Pressure.
We previously seen Catbath open up for the Polyphonic Spree in August 2014.
John described them:

John described them:
…Local trio Catbath opened with a 40 min. set of revved up songs, culled mostly from their debut EP, Bathtime. Travis Franklin, Crystal Stockert, and Kristin Kosieracki have a mid-90’s sounding fuzz about them, similar to The Breeders which was well received on playfully delivered tracks like ‘Law of Average’, ‘Casio’ and ’Bop, Ooo’.
Sandwiched in between is B.O.Y.F., which according to their bandcamp, stands for “Before Others, Yourself Forever!” They used to be called “White Boyfriend”…. which may explain why their album is called White Boyfriend.

BENJAMIN BOOKER
at First Avenue
Thursday 03/26/15, 7:30pm ($15)
first-avenue.com
New Orleans’ Benjamin Booker is touring to Coachella 2015… kicking off the tour in Minneapolis, next Thursday, March 26th.
Booker first came to our attention at his performance at Northside Festival 2014 and again at Varsity Theater with Courtney Barnett on June 2014. We would have caught him again at his sold out show at the Turf Club last September, but we were already committed to La Roux that same evening.
Booker will be playing tracks from his debut self-titled debut album, available now on ATO Records.
Third Man Records’ Olivia Jean is opening up the tour. She previously opened up for a number of Jack White shows.
Jean’s latest album is called Bathtub Love Killings.

WALK THE MOON w/ The Griswolds
at First Avenue
Friday 03/27/15, 6pm ($22 / Sold Out)
Saturday 03/28/15, 6pm ($22 / Sold Out)
first-avenue.com
One of our favorite bands Walk The Moon is billing itself for both Friday and Saturday at First Avenue. Traditionally, when I see a band booking residencies, it is to accommodate for their fans (and of course, both dates are sold out).
The Ohio band is currently on tour in support of their latest album Talking Is Hard.
Please read our reviews of WTM’s previous appearances:
Walk the Moon (with Iggy Azalea) at TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis (17 Oct 2014)
Walk The Moon at First Avenue, Minneapolis (29 Oct 2013)

Friday 03/27/15, 6pm ($22 / Sold Out)

Please read our reviews of WTM’s previous appearances:
We previously caught Australia’s The Griswolds at the Nether Bar in Minneapolis last July 2014.
We noted that at the time, that the band was recently chosen by Spotify’s Emerge campaign (and their music was reaching a much wider audience).
The Griswolds’ latest single “If You Wanna Stay”, is taken from their debut Be Impressive landed at #18 on the SiriusXM’s Alt18.
