Dinosaur Jr

Yes, I know, Dinosaur Jr broke up in the late 90’s. Then about five years ago, the band got back together and produced their album, Beyond. Since then, J Mascis did some solo stuff …
Steve Gunn

I had heard previously that Steve Gunn is for guys that like guitar-based bands. Similar to Television. Lots of droning and interplay between the two guitarists. Good way to start the day. …


DINOSAUR JR

at First Avenue

Friday, 10/07/16, 8pm ($25/$28)


first-avenue.com



90s alternative/Modern rock band Dinosaur Jr. will be headlining First Avenue’s mainroom this October 7th touring in support of their new record Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not (out now on Jagjaguwar).



The first time I heard about Dinosaur Jr was for the music video for ‘Feel the Pain’, in 1994 on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Since then, we’ve watched the band broke up in 1997 and followed band leader J Mascis on his solo record, plus various projects like Sweet Apple (we wrote about this in in 2010.)



The band did re-form in 2005, and we eventually J Mascis at SXSW 2011.



Steve Gunn & the Outliners to open. Steve Gunn’s new album and debut for Matador Records is called Eyes On The Lines. Gunn’s band the Outliners is a large ensemble, featuring Nathan Bowles on banjo, Hans Chew on wurlitzer (what the heck is that?), James Elkington on guitar, Mary Lattimore on harp, Jason Meagher on bass, Paul Sukeena on guitar, Justin Tripp on keyboards, and John Truscinski on drums.

Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata is back at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis as part of her “Dealbreaker Heart Tour”.
It was only about six months ago was she just here …


RACHAEL YAMAGATA

at Triple Rock Social Club

Friday, 10/07/16, 7pm ($22/$25)


triplerocksocialclub.com



Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Rachael Yamagata is back on tour, supporting her fourth studio album Tightrope Walker (Frankenfish Records/Thirty Tiger).



Talking about the new record, Yamagata mentioned, “To me, it represents a woman who’s finding her courage and having her familiar self-deprecating thoughts about herself, yet inside of her exists this potential for absolute joy and freedom and power. It just goes through the trajectory of discovering that and questioning that, which made the song richer.”

Caroline Smith

Beginning the evening on the good foot was Minneapolis-based singer Caroline Smith, whose freshly released new album, Half About Being a Woman (United Interests) …
Dizzy Fae

The middle act was 17yr old newcomer Dizzy Fae, who just has a small handful of songs to her name at this point, but is quickly gaining local buzz. Backed by DJ So Na


CAROLINE SMITH

at O’Shaughnessy

Friday, 10/07/16, 7:30pm ($10 – $35)


oshag.stkate.edu



Caroline Smith is about to embark on 2016 tour, but before she heads out – she’ll be playing a local show at the
O’Shaughnessy Auditorium at St. Catherine University as part of their Women of Substance series. The show is open to the public.



Dizzy Fae will open. We previously caught Fae at Amsterdam Bar on May 2016 and described her sound as a bit of FKA Twigs or Morcheeba: “The middle act was 17yr old newcomer Dizzy Fae, who just has a small handful of songs to her name at this point, but is quickly gaining local buzz. Backed by DJ So Na, Fae brought a dreamy electronica tinged with R&B to such songs as ‘Color Me Bad’ and ‘Complexion’. Fae impressed many in the crowd (handfuls were there specifically to see her, it was obvious), even Lizzo, who was also present and “feeling good as hell” (though she didn’t perform).”
