Pretty Lights

We’ve previously covered Pretty Lights (aka Derek Smith) before. I like how he offers most of his music as free downloads (you can always donate as well.)
We aren’t covering any.…


GRAMATIK

Brooklyn, by the way of Slovenia, DJ/producer Gramatik will be in town at the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis this Saturday. According to his biography, by the age of 13, he was making beats on his computer and by the late teens, Colorado’s Pretty Lights became a Gramatik fan. Pretty Lights immediately signed Gramatik to his Web label.

Finish Ticket

Finish Ticket on tour this Summer with Miniature Tigers.
San Francisco’s Finish Ticket was up next. Admittedly, when I heard their name announced, I thought they were called Finnish Ticket. You know, from Finland.

Milwaukee quartet Vinyl Theatre opened up the show with a very brief 25-min set. They proudly wear their Death Cab for Cutie/Killers influences on their sleeves, and had no trouble getting the crowd to follow their lead of singing along or

ONES TO WATCH TOUR

ft Finish Ticket & Vinyl Theatre

at Triple Rock Social Club

Sunday, 03/06/16, 6pm ($17/$20)


triplerocksocialclub.com



You may recall that we randomly caught Finish Ticket at a show in July 2014. We thought they were from Finland, but they are not “Finnish Ticket”, they are from San Francisco.



The band is back in town, this time under the “Ones to Watch Tour” (Skype and Live Nation sponsored), with Milwaukee’s Vinyl Theatre, who we randomly caught in March 2015. This upcoming show should be a great show, especially if you’ve randomly seen both bands before.
