London’s Shopping will be in town next Wednesday, October 28th, in support of their new album, Why Choose (out now via FatCat Records).
The trio (guitarist Rachel Aggs, bassist Billy Easter and drummer Andrew Milk) formed in 2012, playing “disco-not-disco” drums and “sharp as broken glass” guitars.
Headliner will be Shannon and the Clams, who we caught in 2011 and 2013. We have described them as 60s beach rock.
Also on this bill will be local Larry Wish & His Guys (who previously opened up for Twerps.

I think Nathaniel Rateliff and his band The Night Sweats have finally made it. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been writing about him since 2013, but currently selling out shows across the country thanks to their hit song “S.O.B.”, from their self-titled debut album.
Land Lines to open.

As usual in Rocktober: there are too many shows.
Below are some shows taking place on October 28:
- Allison Weiss will be stopping by The Nether Bar at Mill City Nights. We previously saw her headlined in 2013.
New York’s Mal Blum is one of the openers, currently on tour for their latest studio album You Look A Lot Like Me (Don Giovanni Records). The record was produced by Screaming Females’ Marissa Paternoster. Also on the bill is Los Angeles-based dream pop/shoegaze band Winter, they are touring in support of their debut LP earlier this year on Lolipop Records, with all-new single on Burger Records.
Finally Kid In The Attic (not to be confused with Kids in the Hall) will squeeze in…. Usually when I see that four bands are on the bill (at a regular show), the first band comes on very early and will only play for about 20 to 25 minutes… so if you want to catch everyone, show up when doors open at exactly 7:30pm (7:30pm/$12).
- Breakthrough soul and R&B artist Leon Bridges sold out First Avenue. Kali Uchis to open. Quite impressive for the artist’s first ever national tour. If you missed out because it’s sold out, don’t worry – he’s already announced winter 2016 dates
(7:30pm/$20/Sold Out). - Deafheaven will be over at the Fine Line Music Cafe, in support of their latest New Bermuda (Anti- Records). Special guest Tribulation to open (8pm/$16).
- Folk band Mipso is headlining Cedar Cultural Center, in support of their latest Old Time Reverie (Robust Records). Joining them on this show will be 10 String Symphony. Note: they are not a 10 string symphony but the name of a Nashville duo (Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer) (8pm/$16).
- Langhorne Slim will play Triple Rock Social Club, in support of their latest The Spirit Moves (Dualtone Music). Canadian Daniel Romano to open (7:30pm/$16).
