Los Angeles’ Silversun Pickups will be headlining First Avenue this February 25, 2024.



The band released Acoustic Thrills in June 16, via New Machine Recordings, and features live, stripped-down, and reimagined versions of three songs off their latest album, the Butch Vig-produced Physical Thrills.

Silversun Pickups (16 August 2022)

We saw Silversun Pickups in August 2022 and wrote, “The ninety-five-minute headlining set from Silversun Pickups, started like a time machine- a spooky ebbing hum and dry ice smoke prefaced the band taking the stage which began with “Well Thought Out Twinkles”, from their 2006 debut album, the song also remembered for being featured on Tony Hawk and Rock Band video games.”



Hello Mary to open.

New York’s singer-songwriter-bassist Karina Rykman is back in Minneapolis, headlining the 7th Street Entry on February 28, 2024. Be prepared for a special guest of Minnesota dream-pop duo Vansire, because the two teamed up for “Joyride (Vansire Remix),” a new spin on the title track from Rykman’s debut album Joyride (AWAL Records).

Karina Rykman (17 Mar 2023)

We actually accidentally saw Karina Rykman, as part of Marco Benevento’s band, in 17 Mar 2023 and wrote, “Anyway, drummer Chris Corsico looks like he’s ready to rock out, while bassist Karina Rykman (who replaced original bassist Dave Dreiwitz when he joined Ween) is all smiles, doing her head-banging on the bass. The group looks like they are having a good time on this tour, even if it’s about the end. Their last show is tonight, at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, Wisconsin.”

Raffaella

with WHY NOT

at Fine Line

Minneapolis, by the way of New York, Raffaella, will be closing out leap-year February 29, 2024, at the Fine Line. The pop singer recently released her LIVE, RAFF, LOVE (Act I).

Raffaella (24 Sep 2023)

We caught Raffaella in 24 Sep 2023 and said, “Local indy pop singer Raffaella Meloni opened up the evening. She’s actually a transplant from Manhattan who made the leap to the Twin Cities after a chance encounter with the lead singer of Hippo Campus, Jake Luppen, turned into something more, as in moving in together. “I like Minneapolis,” she said of her new home. “It smells better.””



WHY NOT to open.
