Possibly the greatest team-up this decade is the Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile collaboration. The two will be releasing a special album Lotta Sea Lice … but expect the two to play their own songs live on this special Palace Theatre event.



Vile & Barnett’s all-star band is called The Sea Lice, which features Janet Weiss (from Sleater-Kinney), Rob Laakso (from The Violators), Stella Mozgawa (from Warpaint) and Katie Harkin (from Sky Larkin).



The duo just headlined Friday’s Desert Daze 2017 music festival in California.



Show up early to check out Jen Cloher. She recently released ‘Strong Woman’, the third single off her self-titled fourth record.



Note: the show is sold out.

Bob Dylan

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 …
Hiss Golden Messenger

North Carolina’s Hiss Golden Messenger, American folk duo (MC Taylor and Scott Hirsch), recently announced their upcoming tour in support of Lateness of Dancers (Merge Records). Some dates are with Ben Howard.
Ministry

An album being criminally underrated and overlooked not so much by the professional critics but mostly by Ministry’s very own fan base it has got to be this absolutely stunning masterpiece called “Filth Pig”.

Death Grips

You know, I got an announcement a few months ago that Death Grips were going on tour and then I found out recently that they’ve canceled their tour.
