Looking over their Facebook, I get the impression that this may be the final Phox (pronounced like “fox”) tour.



Phox writes: “Tickets are here for our Goodbye (For Now) Tour with Cuddle Magic! We hope to see you for our last hurrah! xo”



The Wisconsin-based band first came to our attention in August 2014, when they came to town in support of their self-titled debut record (Partisan Records).



Show up early to check out Cuddle Magic, a six-piece avant-pop band (Benjamin Lazar Davis, Christopher McDonald, Dave Flaherty, Alec Spiegelman, Kristin Slipp and Cole Kamen-Green), not exactly from Brooklyn and not exactly from Philadelphia… but somewhere in between.



Ashes/Axis came out January 27 on Northern Spy Records.



Tour dates:


1/31/17 | Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall

2/01/17 | Milwaukee, WI @ Pabst Theatre

2/02/17 | Minneapolis, MN @ Cedar Cultural Center

Dawes

The three-hour evening was opened by Los Angeles-based Dawes, who considers Minneapolis one of their strongest markets, in a solid hour-long set of their own.


DAWES

at The State Theatre

Los Angeles’ folk-rock band Dawes is back in town, this time billed as “An Evening With Dawes”.



The band features brothers Taylor (guitars and vocals) and Griffin Goldsmith (drums), along with Wylie Gelber (bass) and Lee Pardini (keyboards).



The last time we saw Dawes, they were Conor Oberst’s band, in June 2014 … and they played whatever the Bright Eyes guy wanted to play! The “three-hour evening” was incredible.



How we described the 2014 show: “The three-hour evening was opened by Los Angeles-based Dawes, who considers Minneapolis one of their strongest markets, in a solid hour-long set of their own. The band opened with a string of new classics, ‘Most People’, ‘Time Spent in Los Angeles’ and ‘If I Wanted Someone’, in front of a raving receptive crowd, that connected with singer Taylor Goldsmith’s storytelling lyrics. The band humbly downplays the love given by Minneapolis, though could likely sell out anywhere locally, if they decided to ever do an extended residency.”
