Sleater-Kinney
with Black Belt Eagle Scout
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Sleater-Kinney is back with their eleventh studio album, Little Rope… their first on label Loma Vista. The album was named one of the most anticipated releases of the year by Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, Vulture, Paste Magazine, them, Consequence, Esquire and more.

The Little Rope tour will stop by the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on March 23, 2024.

We last saw Sleater-Kinney at the final Rock the Garden show in June 2022 and noted, “Sleater-Kinney was the co-headliner of Rock the Garden. The Olympia group is touring in support of their tenth studio album, Path of Wellness. We’ve been following this Riot Grrrl band since the mid-90s, having enjoying bands such as Bikini Kill, Team Dresch, and Bratmobile. We’ve seen SK since 1998, and was sad to learn that their original drummer Janet Weiss left the band.”

Black Belt Eagle Scout to open. We saw her in 07 Apr 2023 and said, “Most of Black Belt Eagle Scout’s music is influenced by KP’s ancestral land that overlooks the Puget Sound. Her latest album The Land, the Water, the Sky is even dedicated to the place. KP grew up around music with her dad a powwow singer and her participating as a jingle dress dancer. She was also influenced by the Northwest sounds of Nirvana and Hole, teaching herself to play guitar and drums by watching bootleg VHS tapes of the bands. ”

The Rural Alberta Advantage
with Julianna Riolino
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Canadian band The Rural Alberta Advantage (The RAA) is returning to the area… playing their biggest venue yet, at First Avenue, on March 23, 2024.

RAA recently shared a new song, “FSHG”, ahead of their Winter North American tour. “FSHG” was the last song written for The Rise & The Fall, and a late addition, recorded live off the floor in their final visit to the studio for the record. Nils Edenloff (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard) explains, “I wanted us to record ‘FSHG’ live off the floor and feel like a counterpoint to the rest of the album. We laboured over so many minute details on ‘The Rise & The Fall’, and I wanted to record ‘FSHG’ while it still felt organic and raw. Lock it up before we had a chance to tinker with it too much. I also wanted people listening to the record to feel as though they’re peeking in on a brief and momentary event. So much of the album deals with events and snippets of time, and with ‘FSHG’, as the song progresses it starts to evaporate, pulling away from the listener and fading into nothing. Sort of reminding us that not everything lasts forever.”

We saw RAA in Feb 2023 and wrote, “The Rural Alberta Advantage (RAA) is a mouthful, a name lifted from an email from lead singer Nils Edenloff’s brother who wrote that he was planning to explore “the rural Alberta advantage” on a trip back home to expansive Canadian prairie. ”

Julianna Riolino to open.

Danielle Nicole Band
with Brandon Miller
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

Kansas City’s Danielle Nicole, billed as Danielle Nicole Band, will be headlining the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on March 23, 2024, in support of her new album The Love You Bleed, via Forty Below Records.

We saw Danielle Nicole in Feb 2023 and said, “Because, like good barbecue, every region has its own flavored nuance that reflects the local culture, the spicy of Mississippi was mixed with the sweet of Kansas City, as popular area blues singer and guitarist Danielle Nicole surprised the audience, by joining the band onstage for one mid-set song.”

Brandon Miller to open.
