Pert Near Sandstone (02 December 2023)

We saw Pert Near Sandstone in December 2023 and wrote, “The members of Pert Near Sandstone are also from the Twin Cities suburbs, Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove. They first got into music by playing in heavy metal and ska bands. But as their music lessons progressed they too were caught by infectious music of bluegrass. And for almost twenty years they have been playing music that is impossible not to dance to, mainly because their percussionist, Andy Lambert, wears a pair of clogs. He was joined on stage with Nate Sipe on fiddle and mandolin, Kevin Knibel on banjo, J Lenz on guitar, Chris Forsberg on fiddle and Justin Bruhn on bass.”

Cold War Kids

with Joe P

at First Avenue

Cold War Kids is heading out on tour in support of their 10th album, a self-titled album.
The LP is a profound exploration of self, delving into personal introspection for lead vocalist Nathan Willett and the band as a collective entity.


Cold War Kids (14 July 2023)

We saw Cold War Kids in July 2023 and wrote, “Long Beach five-piece Cold War Kids opened the show, with a rain-shortened set, cutting three songs, but still made the most of their forty minutes by playing their handful of alternate radio hits, and even working in a brand-new song, pleasing existing fans while gaining new ones, and even were able to use some stage lights and the screen, normally reserved only for headliners.”
