British legend Robyn Hitchcock is on tour in support of his long-awaited record SHUFFLEMANIA! (Tiny Ghost Records). The record is available in limited edition blue vinyl, classic black vinyl, translucent orange vinyl, CD & cassette.

 
We saw Hitchock at the Turf Club in Apr 2018 and said, “Hitchcock reached back several times to older Soft Boys songs as well as those done with The Venus 3, even working in a David Bowie-penned Mott the Hoople cover with opener, Tristen, as part of the three-song encore.”

Algiers
with Party Dozen
at 7th St Entry

first-avenue.com

Atlanta-bred rock band Algiers are touring in support of their fourth album Shook (Matador Records).

The band will play the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, fresh off their appearance at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

 
We saw Algiers in Sep 2021 and said, “Originally formed in London, with the release of “Blood” in 2012, via Double Phantom Records, Algiers (singer and pianist Franklin James Fisher, bassist Ryan Mahan, guitarist Lee Tesche, and drummer Matt Tong) is based in Atlanta, and produces some interesting dub-style sound, industrial, and Afrobeat sound. Some songs sounds political, but all their songs are explosive, as seen in their live performance. Bassist Ryan Mahan seemed ready to explode. This just shows me that the band is very passionate about their music and their message.”

King Tuff
with Tchotchke
at Turf Club

first-avenue.com

Kyle Thomas, or known by his stagename, King Tuff, is touring in support of his sixth studio album Smalltown Stardust (Sub Pop).

Thomas described Smalltown Stardust as “an album about love and nature and youth.” But not all the songs were written by him, as with “How I Love”, the song was written by Sasami: “Sasami wrote this song for me way back in 2018, but it didn’t really come together until we started demoing in 2020. This is the type of song I’ve wanted to do for years, but maybe never had the confidence to achieve. I’ve always hid behind loud guitars, but here I’m exposed, and I love how open and empty it is, yet so comfortable too. I wanted to show another side of myself through this record, and I think this song is the perfect example of that.”

Tchotchke to open.

first-avenue.com

Multi-talented and genre-bending artist Chiiild is touring in support of Better Luck in the Next Life via Avant Garden/4th & Broadway (Def Jam Recordings, Inc.)

Like many independent bands, they are tour because of SXSW (now that it’s back in full swing). With that said, many of these bands often end up in Minneapolis/St Paul as bonus or side shows.

Chiiild will headline the 7th Street Entry on April 2, 2023.
