We love The Vaccines. The UK band is currently touring in support of their latest LP English Graffiti with new single “20/20”. The album debut at #2 on their native UK charts, with Pitchfork declaring it “their best record yet.”
The indie-rock band will be stopping in Minneapolis at the Triple Rock Social Club next Monday, August 24th. No opening band(s) has been listed, but I’m sure a local band will be added shortly.

PSYCHEDELIC FURS/THE CHURCHat First Avenue

What an unbelievable pairing: The Psychedelic Furs and The Church together on one bill! We previously caught The Butler brothers in 2013 and wrote, “Richard Butler is a man who still loves his work. 30+ years on, the frontman of legendary alt-rock group The Psychedelic Furs smiled and laughed as he twirled, crouched, and led his band through a joyous 90 min. set in First Avenue’s Mainroom Tuesday night.”
We’re also big fans of The Church, having finally caught the Australian band earlier in March 2015 at the Cedar Cultural Center.
