Here are some shows, this week, in the Minneapolis/St Paul area.

08/29/2022 Monday
Telekinetic Yeti
with White Hills and Thunderbolt Pagoda
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

Iowa-based two-piece Telekinetic Yeti is headlining the 7th Street Entry this August 29th, in support of their
Tee Pee Records debut album, Primordial.

White Hills and Thunderbolt Pagoda to open.

We saw White Hills in Aug 2013 and wrote, “White Hills, a rock band from New York with mostly guitarists Dave W. singing, but occasionally their bassist, Ego Sensation, would take over lead vocals. The two seemed really pleased at the large group of fans who showed up early to catch their set.”

The King Khan & BBQ Show
with Miranda and The Beat
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com

The King Khan & BBQ Show is returning to the Minneapolis area, at the Fine Line Music Café this Sep 2nd.

We’ve seen “Brown James Brown” King Khan solo and Mark Sultan (BBQ) solo, but together, they’re a unique rock force.
The last time we saw the duo together was in Nov 2009, at the Triple Rock Social Club and described them as “The King Khan & BBQ Show, they are an interesting modern band with minimalist setup and plays a weird mixture of 50s doo-wop and Surf music. They’ve got a ton of fans, who lined up hours before the show.”

Miranda and The Beat to open.
