Tegan & Sara 2019 Tour

TEGAN AND SARA
Fitzgerald Theater
Sun 10/13/2019 (7pm/$40.50)
thefitzgeraldtheater.com
The very popular Tegan and Sara will be playing the Fitzgerald Theater in St Paul on Sunday, October 13th. The show is sold out… but if you’re willing to buy their new book High School – you can meet them for a book signing at
Next Chapter Booksellers before the concert.
We last saw them in Chicago in June 2014 and said, “With Warner determined to sell the girls as hip, lesbian older sisters to Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, Tegan and Sara were soon everywhere: performing on Ellen, having a version of “Closer” performed on Glee, appearing onstage with Taylor Swift, even recording an Oreo commercial. They spent most of 2013 as a support act for The Killers and fun. and will end 2014 with a support slot on Katy Perry’s Prismatic tour. They nearly swept the Canadian Juno Awards this year, winning the pop album, single, and group of the year awards. By all accounts, it’s a triumphant time for the Quins.”
T&S’s new album Hey, I’m Just Like You is out now on Sire Records.

SLEATER-KINNEY
+ Shamir
Palace Theatre
Tue 10/15/2019 (7pm/$32.50/Sold out)
palacestpaul.com
Of course, Sleater-Kinney has sold out their tour, including the upcoming Palace Theatre in St Paul. We’ve seen the group numerous times, but unfortunately, the band took a long break (and eventually their original drummer Janet Weiss left the band).
Angie Boylan is now the new drummer.
We caught SK in Feb 2015 and wrote, “As expected, SK mostly played songs from their latest record, No Cities to Love (Sub Pop). I’ve seen SK three other times (2000, 2002, and 2005) and they’ve always played First Avenue. This fact was mentioned by Carrie Brownstein who said, “Perhaps it’s true that we never place a place as much as First Ave…” then quickly followed by “Don’t quote me on that though!” She could be right, including a cancelled date and last night’s date, SK booked First Avenue at least 6 times.”
SK’s new album The Center Won’t Hold is out now.

Wed 10/16/2019 (7pm/$16)

Jay Som (aka Melina Duterte) is back with her new album Anak Ko.
We caught her in March 2017 and wrote, “San Francisco’s Jay Som closed out the night. Jay Som (aka Melina Duterte) has been in Minneapolis a few times, including July 2016 and October 2016, but this time has a headliner…. and with a debut album called Everybody Works finally out on Polyvinyl Records. The record is so good that as soon as it came out, Pitchfork declared it as “Best New Music”.”
Show up early to check out Boy Scouts (aka Taylor Vick)… she’ll be playing tracks from her new album Free Company.
