The Rural Alberta Advantage
with Georgia Harmer
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com

The Rural Alberta Advantage (The RAA) is on their second half of their 2023 tour… stopping by the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Feb 25th. The acclaimed percussive folk-rock trio’s latest The Rise EP is out on Saddle Creek/Paper Bag Records.

We saw TRAA in Sep 2009 and wrote, “Compared to the massive youth crowd of the 800lb Monkey, The Rural Alberta Advantage is tamer. Their audience is a little older (beards, button shirts, beer-drinkers) and I was impressed at how many people knew the RAA songs, as I was told by Kyle that when the RAA came here a few months ago that it was only half-full.”

Otoboke Beaver
with Scrunchies
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com

All-girl Japanese punk act Otoboke Beaver (おとぼけビ～バ～) will play the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis on Feb 28. If there was a show I would break my Winter Hibernation, it would be for this one.

We wrote about Otoboke Beaver in 2019, “Kyoto’s Otoboke Beaver (おとぼけビ～バ～), a four-piece all-girls punk/rock band (singer/guitarist Accorinrin, guitarist Yoyoyoshie, bassist Hirochan, and drummer Kahokiss), reminds me a bit of Shonen Knife and girl-gang riot grrrl punk. Currently, the band is getting a lot of attention in the UK, touring in support of their new upcoming album Itekoma Hits (Damnably Records). The record comes out April 26, 2019.”
