Los Angeles-based experimental collective jjuujjuu is currently on tour. The band will stop by the Turf Club, in St Paul, on August 23rd, 2024.

We saw jjuujjuu in Oct 2019 and wrote, “JJUUJJUU got the crowd amped as they graced the stage in all their desert glory…white doctor coats included. “This feels pretty damn good right? We work all year for this weekend! My name is Phil and I work for YOU!” Phil Pirrone screams into the mic. It’s not about selling tickets for him. It’s about getting bunch of good people together to listen to good bands in a good place…that’s it. I attest to this because I have seen it over and over- the good people, the good bands and the good places. He brings life to music and the energy together for the fans and for musicians alike. And they also put on one hell of a show. JJUUJJUU is not only an act not to be missed, it’s an experience, a recognition that makes you believe that rock is indeed not dead. As the festival grows, this band grows…and what a sight it is to see.”

Good Doom and Van Glow Light Show to open. We saw Good Doom in April 2023 and wrote, “Opening the show was Good Doom, who played some songs from their albums Shocking Cloud and Welcome to the Ghost, under extreme blood red lighting. They seemed really grateful when Avey Tare booked the band for the show. They drew out their 30-min set, hardly speaking and concentrating on playing their pyschwave songs. When they did speak, it’s to answer someone in the audience that they’re from Minneapolis.”
