Rising singer-songwriter Avi Kaplan is touring in support of his forthcoming debut solo album, Floating On A Dream (Fantasy Records).



Kaplan is formerly of Pentatonix, so expect to hear his vocal chords to do most of the heavy lifting on stage. Originally booked at First Avenue, the show moved to the Cedar… which is a perfect setting to hear all the notes.

The Antlers

Despite what their setlist said (a total of 8 songs), The Antlers played more than an hour’s worth of music. Maybe their songs are just “extra long” because of the “experimental” things, but I would argue tha …

After a seven year break, The Antlers (Peter Silberman and Michael Lerner) returned with their new album Green to Gold last year. Then the duo followed up with an EP called Losing Light, which reimagined four songs from Green to Gold.



We saw the group in April 2010 and said, “Most of the songs played were from their album, Hospice. There were two encore songs, the final song played was “Epilogue”, which is very fitting for its title. Look for the band to continue with Phantogram and then with The National (hot buzz band) later on in June. Hospice is out now on Frenchkiss Records.”

at Turf Club

Metal band The Body is returning to the Turf Club this May 29th.



We wanted to mention this show, as we just caught Midwife with Deafheaven, earlier in Mar 2022, and wrote, “What I can tell you about Midwife, aka Madeline Johnston, is that her music is extremely slowcore. She’s creating this music landscape with her ghostly vocals (amplified by her custom telephone microphone). Her music seems like it could work for a movie soundtrack.”



IOSIS also on the bill.
