New York’s Charly Bliss will be headlining the 7th Street Entry in support of their album, Guppy (Barsuk Records).



We caught the band with Veruca Salt in 2015 and wrote, “New York’s Charly Bliss opened up the show, a tad later than advertised. But we soon discovered that it was well worth the wait, the young band had a very 90s alt girl rock (think Eve’s Plum). It’s hard not to like the band, especially seeing singer Eva get really excited about playing their songs.”



Strange Relations and See Through Dresses will open.

Tokyo’s Kikagaku Moyo (幾何学模様) is making a rare Minneapolis appearance (that is to say I don’t think they’ve ever been in Minneapolis) at the 7th Street Entry in support of their album House In The Tall Grass. The record came out April 21st via Guruguru Brain, with a vinyl release from Stone Garden.
