with Vinsantos
at Palace Theatre

From the ashes of Bauhaus, came Love and Rockets (named after the Hernandez brothers’ comic book series)… the groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins.
I supposed after the sudden cancellation of Bauhaus Reunion 2022 shows, due to Peter Murphy entering a rehabilitation facility for health and well-being… the rest of the band decided maybe to continue as Love and Rockets.
Vinsantos set to open.

Wavves and Cloud Nothings
with Ultra Q
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com
Cloud Nothings and Wavves are teaming up for a co-headlining North American tour this summer. Their co-headlining tour kicks off on June 8th in Minneapolis, at the Fine Line Music Café. The tour spans 20 cities across the continent.
We saw Wavves in Mar 2013 and said, “After a brief intermission, fellow So Cal garage punk/pop cohorts Wavves blasted in with an equally relentless 52min set (no encore, apparently not ‘punk’ to do so). “Idiot” appropriately started their set, only to be hindered early on, by lack of a channel in singer Nathan Williams’ monitor speakers. “Bug,” from 2011’s Life Sux EP followed by “Take on the World” next, before the band played its recent and maybe most accessible song to date, “Demon to Lean On”, from the new ‘Afraid of Heights’ which understandably got a noisy positive response, despite being so early into the set.”
Ultra Q (named after Ultraman’s first series) to open.

The single is taken from her upcoming EP, available this Summer. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter also wrote the title track song off the Love Again movie for Celine Dion!
