Originally known as M4, in 2009, the original band members, Matt Yost, Ryan Krysiak, and Sam Gilman, were all ages eight and ten years old. Then in 2015, they met then-14-year old Audra Miller and drafted her as their new singer. Now, the band is called First To Eleven, and they’re headlining the 7th Street Entry on April 18, 2024.



Daytona Beach 2000 and Brooke Surgener to open.

Tour dates:

at Palace Theatre

Please note we are covering Kansas City-based Waxahatchee in Oakland, California. However, we are listing their appearance in St Paul, at the Palace Theatre, on April 19th, 2024.



Waxahatchee’s new album Tigers Blood is out on ANTI- Records.

Plains (18 Nov 2022)

We saw Katie Crutchfield in Plains in Nov 2022 and said, “Plains is more of a duo and they are comprised of Katie Crutchfield who plays under the name Waxahatchee and Jess Williams. Both are established singers with indie labels that decided why not get together and play a bunch of country songs. If you listen to their debut album I Walked With You a Ways you would think they have been singing together since birth like musical twins, so similar but different enough to make their harmonization not too homogenous and prepackaged.”

Good Morning (11 Apr 2022)

Australian band Good Morning to open. We saw them in Apr 2022 and said they were popular with the teenagers: “Good Morning came on stage to a large group of young teenagers (even though the show is 18+, many of the fans seemed to be under 20) packed together on the dancefloor. Even though the band looked young, and even though it’s their first American tour (first time in Minneapolis, “as far as we know”), you never got the impression that the band was amateurish. They seemed well practiced, everyone knew their positions, everyone knew when to move about to other instruments… I’ve seen seasoned bands that goofed/not ready for prime time… so it’s refreshing to see this young Australian band take their live show so seriously.”

Tour dates:

Meatbodies

with Population II

at 7th St Entry

Meatbodies is returning to the area, as part of the promotional tour for Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom. He’s headlining the 7th Street Entry on April 19, 2024.

Meatbodies (22 Sep 2019)

We previously saw the band in Sep 2019 and wrote, “California’s Meatbodies (aka “Chad and the Meatbodies”) opened the show. If you didn’t know, the band consists of Chad Ubovich (who also plays bass in Fuzz and touring member of Mikal Cronin), Kevin Boog and Patrick Nolan. My favorite of their set was penultimate song “Alice”, which went on jamming well after it’s supposed to end. ”



Population II to open. The trio features singer/drummer Pierre-Luc Gratton, guitarist/keyboardist Tristan Lacombe, and bassist Sébastien Provençal, and is known for both improvised madness and sophisticated composition. Their new EP Serpent Échelle will be out April 19th, 2024.
