Kid Koala is bringing his “Vinyl Vaudeville: Floor Kids Edition” show to The Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis on Monday, April 30th. We’ve been following Koala since his early Carpal Tunnel Syndrome work (still remember buying the CD!) to his collaboration with the great Deltron 3030.
In April 2016, we saw one of the best shows we’ve ever seen: Kid Koala’s “Nufonia Must Fall”. It’s live music, set to a puppet show. It was based on his 2003 book/album (which I also own).
We’re not sure what “Vinyl Vaudeville” will bring, but with his helpers comedian, singer Adira Amram and
DJ Jester, it’ll be an interesting, fun show.

JESSIE WARE
+ Albin Lee Meldau
Varsity Theater
Sun 04/29/2018 (7pm/$25)
cabooze.com
London-born singer/songwriter Jessie Ware will be at the Varsity Theater on Sunday, April 29th, in support of her latest album Glasshouse (PMR Records / Friends Keep Secrets / Interscope Records). We saw Ware at the Varsity in Nov 2013 and said, “Focusing primarily on songs from her first full-length, Devotion (on PMR Island/Cherrytree), Ware’s sound in the most simplest of terms can be described as this equation: [Sade – Adele, + The Invisible, cos x Moyet & Jessie J]. That is, take the smooth r&b of a Sade, with the beats of future-garage producer SBTRKT with the heartache songs and near-range of an Adele, with cosine bits of singers like Alison Moyet and Jessie J thrown in for good measure. In other words, a winning combination.”
Albin Lee Meldau to open.

GEORGE EZRA
+ Noah Kahan
First Avenue
Mon 04/30/2018 (9pm/$25)
first-avenue.com
Young guitarist and singer
George Ezra is back in Minneapolis to promote his sophomore album Staying At Tamara’s.
We caught Ezra opening for Sam Smith in January 2015 and said, “
The lanky Ezra has a big, bluesy voice and lyrics that belie his young age, and sounds almost American, as his stated folk influences have been Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and Howlin’ Wolf among others. Lead single, ‘Budapest’ received the predictably strongest response, but initial UK single and set opener ‘Cassie O’ and the closing ‘Did You Hear the Rain’ (folky with electronic loops) also had toes tapping and heads nodding.”
