Transmission 23rd Anniversary
with DJ Jake Rudh
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

The 23rd Anniversary Transmission, with DJ Jake Rudh, is this March 29, 2024, at First Avenue, in Minneapolis.
This is a great social event that you can spend on your Friday night with your friends. Music is the best of the 70s, 80s, and 90s… stuff we like, including lots of Britpop.

We attended the 14th Annual Transmission show in March 2015 and wrote, “Turnout to this Saturday event was very, very good, with the main dance floor generally full, as you can see from the photos. Everyone we ran into were generally smiling, drinking, being social, and having a good time. If you have attended any Transmission shows (or seen a UK band live), chances are, you will already be familiar with DJ Jake Rudh’s music tastes, but he will play to the crowd. For the Transmission audience, the majority of music were of that alternative 80s/90s era, like Talking Heads, The Cure, Run DMC, New Order, Billy Idol, Beastie Boys, Beck, and, of course, The Smiths. However, once in a while, he’ll throw in a curve ball, like Franz Ferdinand, MGMT, or MIA.”

BAILEN
with BEL
at Fine Line
first-avenue.com

Sibling band Bailen (stylized as BAILEN) will be headlining the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on March 30, 2024.

We saw Bailen in June 2019 and wrote, “The NYC group recently released their debut album Thrilled To Be Here (Fantasy Records), and they were literally thrilled to be playing some choice cuts from the record like “Something Tells Me”, “I Was Wrong”, and the rousing foot-stomper “Not Gonna Take Me”. Before “Stray Dog”, Daniel said that it was nice to be back in the city (headlining the 7th Street Entry on 25 February 2019), but admitted that they didn’t miss the “negative 28 degrees”.”

Clovis’ BEL to open. I have a soft spot for Clovis and Fresno bands, as I used to live in the area.
