We last saw The Wombats at the over-sold-out Varsity Theater show last May 2015, and noticed that they have a ton of fans. Many of them rushed to the front of the stage, leaving very little room on the dance floor. With top 5 album Glitterbug, appearances on national television, and recently, over 28 million streams for their single ‘Greek Tragedy’, expect those same rabid fans to show up at the First Avenue show next Tuesday.
Los Angeles duo Coast Modern (Coleman Trapp & Luke Atlas) will open the show. Their debut single went viral on the HypeMachine Charts and got about a million streams on Spotify. The synth-pop duo already toured with BØRNS earlier in May, and now spending their summer with the Wombats.
NOTE: Don’t miss this show… but if you have other obligations, check out Coast Modern again when they come back on September 27th with The Temper Trap at the Varsity Theater! We haven’t seen The Temper Trap since 2010 and is very excited to have the Australian band back in town.
