Minneapolis: September 24, 2015
This is the same night as Canada’s Viet Cong show at 7th Street Entry. With the recent local Vietnamese community protesting the upcoming show, I’m happy to see that the band has announced yesterday that they are finally changing their offensive name. We didn’t cover their previous Minneapolis show because I found the name slightly offensive.

BEN RECTORat Northrop Auditorium

Nashville’s Ben Rector is back with a brand new sixth studio album called Brand New (Aptly Named Recordings, LLC). He’ll be stopping by the Northrop Auditorium at the U of M this Thursday. Don’t expect an encore, as we have previously seen him live and explained, “Rector explains he doesn’t like the process of leaving the stage then returning.”
Judah & The Lion will open the show.
We were really impressed with this band from their headlining 7th Street Entry show in 2014. We described the band as “not rock and not country, but ‘somewhere in-between’. It’s feel-good singalong folk rock, think Mumford & Sons, and you get the idea.”

This should be a great double header show: Reverend Horton Heat and The Adicts!
The so-called “godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly” Jim “Reverend Horton” Heath’s latest album Rev (their 11th album!) came out last year on Victory Records.
As for the Adicts, this will be their first Minneapolis show, we previously mentioned our love for the English punk band.

TORO Y MOIat Mill City Nights
Thursday, 09/24/2015, 8pm ($20)

Toro y Moi and Astronauts, etc. (Anthony Ferraro, keyboardist in Toro y Moi’s live band) is currently on a US tour. The two bands recently teamed up to record a cover of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” Noisey premiered the track, saying “Oh you’re covering one of Elton John’s very best songs? Bold moves, guys, bold moves. Thing is, Oakland’s Astronauts, etc. and Toro y Moi-who are heading out on tour together next week-really nail it. Their rework is soft like cashmere on baby skin. Sweetly muted like Beck’s rework of ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometimes,’ but with a funked up bass holding it all down and shivery synth middle eight that’s quite magic.”
