The popular movie, based on the popular band ABBA’s songs… Mamma Mia! is a musical that will run from February 6 – 11, 2024.

If you’ve watched the movie, you know the story is about a daughter, a mother, and three possible fathers.

The play is described as, “Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, a tale of love, friendship and identity is beautifully told through the timeless hits of ABBA. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited decades ago. For nearly 25 years, people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story, and the music that make Mamma Mia! the ultimate feel-good show.”

Their self-titled debut album came out the last week of January and was produced by Grammy award winning producers John Spiker (Tenacious D) and Rian Lewis (Dojacat).

Los Angeles-based rock duo Deap Vally recently re-recorded their version of their debut LP, entitled SISTRIONIX 2.0. This is the ten-year anniversary of their original Sistrionix, which we wrote about in Aug 2013.

To commemorate its swan-song moment, Deap Vally, promising to play their debut album in its entirety.

Lindsey Troy says, “SISTRIONIX is just classic Deap Vally. It’s so pure and raw. It really encapsulates an era — an era of dank, yeasty backstage rooms across the UK, of the endorphin rush of that first wave of success, of youthful drunken, wild nights, of the worldly adventures and the newness of it all.”

“We’re just going to go to play as many places as we can and say farewell to everyone,” Julie Edwards adds. “Though the band is playing live for the last time, the door is open to us to collaborate. Now we’re all about re-establishing a workflow and connection around our friendship, after all we’ve shared together along the way.”

Deap Vally (03 June 2014)

We saw Deap Vally in their “first Minneapolis” appearance in 03 June 2014 and said, “”This is our first time in Minneapolis … and I know it’s a Tuesday night, but this is a rock ‘n roll show, so let’s get loose!” said drummer Julie Edwards, one half of Los Angeles duo, Deap Vally, who opened the show with a breakneck set of their own. Although this was a technically true statement, the duo was actually at St. Paul’s Turf Club last year, opening for The Whigs.”

The girls’ first Twin Cities appearance was actually at the Turf Club, in St Paul, in June 2013… so it is fitting that they are going to say farewell to us at the Turf Club in Feb 11, 2024.

Sloppy Jane to open. The band previously headlined the Fine Line in October 2022.
