FLEET FOXES
at Palace Theatre
Saturday 09/30/2017 (7pm/$46/Sold Out)
Sunday 10/01/2017 (7pm/$46/Sold Out)

Seattle’s Fleet Foxes sold out their double booking at the Palace Theatre in St Paul.
At the height of the popularity, we jokingly called them an unknown indie folk band when we reviewed their Helplessness Blues album: “You may have heard of this little indie folk band from Seattle. They crashed the scene in 2008 with the release of their eponymous debut album, and some three years later returned with the Grammy-nominated Helplessness Blues. For a band whose discography contains only two LPs and a handful of EPs, Fleet Foxes quickly became synonymous with ‘[insert agreeable adjective] harmonies.’ In fact, when someone describes a song’s aesthetic as “like Fleet Foxes,” everyone in the room gets it, no further explanation needed. This is also a fairly common tool for music critics who’ve, unfortunately, exhausted their glossary of “folk terms” (i.e. ‘pastoral,’ ‘bucolic,’ ‘organic,’ etc.). It’s easier to write “So-and-so’s latest release contains the silken harmonies of Fleet Foxes” rather than “So-and-so’s latest release contains a million gentle trills from the city songbird that’s happily found his bucolic field of dreams.”
Listening to Helplessness Blues, it’s obvious the band is still content with wandering through metaphorical fields (not too many literal fields in Seattle proper). This begs the question: did Fleet Foxes pull a Fleet Foxes? Well, of course.”
After J Tillman left the band in 2012 (and ultimately reinvented himself as Father John Misty), Fleet Foxes took a long break (we actually thought they broke up), and eventually returned with Crack-Up (Nonesuch Records), released earlier this Summer.
Nap Eyes to open.

TRISTEN / JENNY O
at 7th Street Entry
Sunday 10/01/2017 (8pm/$10)
first-avenue.com
The co-headlining tour of Tristen and Jenny O will stop by the 7th Street Entry this October 1st.
Tristen new album Sneaker Waves came out earlier this July on Modern Outsider.
We last saw Tristen in October 2013 and wrote, “Opening up the show was Tristen Gaspadarek, otherwise known simply as Tristen. I believe this was her second appearance in Minneapolis, according to her banter on stage. She’s originally from Chicago, but currently “Nashville is where we hang our hats.””
Los Angeles’ Jenny O. is touring in support of her sophomore album Peace & Information. We caught Jenny O in October 2016 and said, “Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jenny O opened the evening with a demure set of songs from 2013’s Automechanic (Holy Trinity Records) and the upcoming self-produced Work EP, due out this coming Friday. The seated audience was charmed by her natural coyness and by the songwriting of ‘Lazy Jane’, ‘Get Lost’, and the new ‘Cheer Up Free Your Mind’.”
Juniper Douglas to open.
