Peaches

Peaches, in her bold style, exclaimed, “We’re Peaches & Gonzales. We were personally asked by Elastica to open up the show!” That got my attention, I mean, why would Elastica go out of their way

PEACHES

at First Avenue

Thursday, 10/15/2015, 7:30pm ($15)


first-avenue.com

This is a true story, but after I saw Peaches in September 2000, I had to see her again. Between the period of 2000 and 2002, we must have seen her at least four times! Every time she would appear, she had gained a bigger audience (and we started to recognize some of the same people at these shows!)



Peaches is currently tour in support of her latest album Rub (I U She Music).



Our favorite ladies Deap Vally (who we saw in June 2014 and June 2013) and Shannon Blowtorch (who we just saw in September 2014) will open the show.

MS MR

NYC duo MS MR came to Minneapolis “for the first time as a band and as people” …and ‘rocked it like a ‘Hurricane’. ‘Hurricane’, of course, refers to their infectious single of the same name…

Jack Garratt

British singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jack Garratt is currently on tour with Mumford and Sons, but on his off days with the massive band, he’s booked a few smaller side gigs – including one at 7th …


MS MR

at Varsity Theater

Thursday, 10/15/2015, 6:30pm ($26)


varsitytheater.org

We just previously caught New York’s MS MR at Go Fest 2015 in August… and with only two months, the band is back. This upcoming show is also sponsored by Go 96.3… so they have a special deal, if you put in “GO” on the code line, your ticket price is only $9.63 (additional details on go963mn.com).



Opening will be Jack Garratt, who we just saw also in August 2015.
With only eight written songs, Garratt had to carry the headlining burden, so he was incredibly nervous (and grateful!) for seeing so many strangers coming to see him play live. Hopefully, as an opener, the weight of a full-length show will be lifted.
