Middle Kids (03 Oct 2021)

Gordi to open. We saw the Australian singer in June 2016 and noted, “Gordi (not to be confused with the 80s Yugoslav heavy metal band of the same name), is from the Australian town of Canowindra (currently based in Sydney, Australia). Since Gordi is touring in support of her debut EP Clever Disguise (Jagjaguwar), this was her first time in Minneapolis, and they seemed really pleased at the turnout.
