Tank and the Bangas

Over at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell, we saw New Orleans-based funk-soul musical group Tank and the Bangas. The group is fronted by Tarriona Ball (aka Tank), and was the winner of NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest this year for their song ‘Quick’.…
Big Freedia

Boyfriend is opening for Big Freedia. Big Freedia is a rapper that knows how to get a crowd going. Frederick Ross (AKA Big Freedia) is not a newcomer to the hip-hop scene by any means…

The co-headlining tour of Tank and the Bangas and Big Freedia show is taking place at First Avenue on October 28th.



We saw

Tank and the Bangas
in Sep 2017 and said that they were the highlight at the Minnesota State Fair.



As for Big Freedia, she is one of the most famous Bounce music pioneer, as well as a reality TV star. We saw her in Nov 2015 and said, “Big Freedia left me speechless the last time I saw her at P.O.S’s The F***ng Best Show Ever festival over the summer. She did it again… only last Wednesday at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, I was a bit more prepared for what was going to happen… or at least I thought I was. That’s when I realized… you are never ready for a Big Freedia show and that’s part of the charm.”




Naughty Professor to open.

Mega Bog

Mega Bog (aka Erin Birgy) opened up the show. I wasn’t sure if this was her last night on tour, but for sure, she confessed that it was the last night that she would play with her live band: James
Maggie Rogers

With Maggie Rogers’ ‘Alaska’ song hitting Spotify’s Viral 50 in 40 countries and hit #1 in 23 countries (including the U.S.), it’s not hard to see why this 22-year-old multi-instrumentalist sold out her appearance at the upcoming

Athens’ Mothers (aka Kristine Leschper) is headlining the Turf Club on Saturday, October 27th, in support of her latest

Render Another Ugly Method
.



Show up early to check out local Sleeping Jesus and Mega Bog (aka Erin Birgy). We’ve seen Mega Bog a few times, the last with Destroyer in January 2018 and said, “The band played a lot of new songs from their album Happy Together (Nicey Music), which, when played live, sounds a bit like an offbeat jazz album. Vocally, I have described Erin Birgy’s singing voice as a bit like Kate Bush, or now, perhaps Nico.”
