“This past year, my life has changed so much,” says Rosa about her new song “Hallelujah”. “It can be hard to put into words how grateful I feel, but I hope this song helps you understand.”

07/11/2023 TuesdayProtomartyr
with Idle Ray
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com
Detroit post-punk band Protomartyr is back on tour… this time in support of their album Formal Growth In The Desert (Domino Records).
We saw the band in Mar 2016 and said, “Protomartyr’s music has a post-apocalyptic quality about it. Drummer Alex Leonard’s percussion is dry and unyielding, Scott Davidson’s bass is menacing and singer Joe Casey’s world-weary poetic ramblings conjure up images of a desperate, chaotic world. These songs, however, are not death waltzes to throw yourself into the grave to; rather they are anthems of survival. The quartet (Leonard, Davidson, Casey and fantastic guitarist Greg Ahee with his Fender Telecaster Thinline) walked on to the Entry’s famous stage and proceeded to hold the rapt sold out crowd in the palms of their hands. The intensity of the performance increased as the night surged on with powerful renditions of “Dope Cloud” and “The Hermit” from last year’s The Agent Intellect and “Scum, Rise!” From the band’s second album Under Color of Official Right (2014). But it was the two closing numbers that really made jaws drop: “Clandestine Time” followed by the chugging “Why Does It Shake?” (both from The Agent Intellect) saw the band completely lose themselves in the reverb-saturated sound.”
Idle Ray to open.

07/11/2023 TuesdayBlondshell
with Hello Mary
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com
Blondshell will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this July 11th. Hello Mary will be opening.
We were supposed to see Blondshell with Suki Waterhouse in Jan 2023, but due to bad weather, the show was postponed. The new date is now August 3, 2023, and the venue has been upgraded to First Avenue. Unfortunately, due to conflicting schedule, I do not believe Blondshell will be opening for the August show (since logistically, she’ll be in California around this time).
