MOON HOOCH+ The Admirables
Turf Club
Sun 06/17/2018 (7pm/$20)
turfclub.net
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Moon Hooch open up for They Might Be Giants in June 2013. They were nothing like you would expect, with their dueling saxophones and raw explosive horns-and-percussion music.
By the time we saw them again at the now-defunct Triple Rock Social Club in October 2016, the group had established a rabid fanbase in the Twin Cities area. Some discovered them through TMBG, but surprisingly many discover this group via YouTube and through word-of-mouth.
The Admirables to open.

L.A.’s all-girl garage/punk band Peach Kelli Pop will be returning to the Turf Club on Tuesday, June 19th, touring in support of their new record Gentle Leader (the band’s 4th full length album and first in three years).
We caught the girls in May 2016 and said, “Although the band’s been in Minneapolis a few times, this was their first time in St Paul, Minnesota. Hanlon did not know the difference between the two cities, and got confused on where Prince lived (technically he lives in Chanhassen, not Minneapolis or St Paul).”
Local bands Kitten Forever and Joust to open.
