Meg Mac

I’m so glad I downloaded her free song of the week. I think I’ve found a new artist. She is so spunky and her voice is amazing. 5 stars!


CLEAN BANDIT w/ Meg Mac

at First Avenue

Sunday 04/05/15, 7:30pm ($20)

British electronic group Clean Bandit‘s song “Rather Be” won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. On the strength of the single and their debut album New Eyes, the group is currently touring the US, stopping by Minneapolis’ First Avenue this April 5th.



Australia’s most buzzworthy breakout artist of 2014, having won Triple J’s Unearthed Artist of 2014, the 24 year-old singer-songwriter Meg Mac, will be opening the First Avenue show. This will mark her first US tour, and possibly her first time in Minneapolis… so give her a warm welcome.



Meg Mac is currently supporting her latest self-titled EP, which came out this week, March 24, 2015, via Littlebigman Records/300 Entertainment.

Happyness

Count me as one of the many people unhappy with the misspelling of Happyness, who probably stole their name from the 2006 film The Pursuit Of Happyness.

HAPPYNESS

at Turf Club

Monday 04/06/15, 7:30pm ($10)


turfclub.net



I’ve said it before, I just don’t like the name Happyness. The typo just drives me nuts, and I really don’t know why it bothers me.



The trio just recently played NINE shows at SXSW, which is possibly the most shows I’ve seen a band can squeeze in at SXSW.



Happyness will be joined by Danger Ron & The Spins and Nancy’s Raygun for the Turf Club show.
