HANSON
with Matthew Sweet (10/03) and Phantom Planet (10/04)
at Fillmore
livenation.com

3x GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Multi-Platinum pop-rock trio HANSON is doing a two-night residency at the Fillmore, in Minneapolis, on October 3 and 4, as part of their Underneath: Experience Tour 2024.

The brothers are world famous, selling over 16 million albums, with several #1 and top 40 singles in over 25 countries… these guys have a massive fanbase.

We witness this for ourselves in Aug 2022: “As for Hanson, it’s hard to believe that they all started as a band in 1992 (although their big hit, “MMMbop” didn’t land until 1997), when they were still teenagers. In all that time, we’ve watched the band grow to selling over 16 million records. Now in 2022, as they celebrate their 30th anniversary as a band, all three brothers reflect on their grown (all with families of their own) and have released Red Green Blue. Each color belongs to each brother. And as you can see from their setlist, each brother dedicated a little section to their songs in the middle of their set.”

For these special double-night shows, the first night will feature Hanson doing an acoustic set, with Matthew Sweet as opener. Plus an afterparty with DJ Taylor Hanson. The second night will feature an electric set, with Phantom Planet as opener. This looks like an incredible experience, especially because we love all three bands!

FIDLAR
with Sugar Pit
at Varsity Theater
livenation.com

FIDLAR is back! The band announced their first album Surviving the Dream, after a long five year wait. The album will arrive September 20, 2024, and to celebrate, the punk-ish band will be heading out on tour…. Stopping by the Varsity Theater, in Minneapolis, on October 4, 2024.

Frontman Zac Carper sums it up, “This record is about doubling down on what you love. For us, it’s about playing shows and making music. Coming back after a few years away, our intention was to self-make an album that the 3 of us are stoked on. We’re very very very pumped on it and what’s to come. These songs are meant to be heard live with the fellow FIDIOTS going off.”

We previously saw the band in May 2019 and said, “Fidlar is one of those bands that I could never get sick of watching live. They are high-energy and just have a very positive vibe to them. It doesn’t matter what you were worrying about when you walked into their show, the second they start playing you forget about everything except where you are and who you’re surrounded by. Nobody cares if you look like an idiot, nobody cares if you accidentally bump their drink, it’s smiles all around at a Fidlar show and I love that.”

Freak-pop vocalist/multi-instrumentalist/producer Sugar Pit to open. The latest single, “Sex Party,” available now via Atlantic Records/Good Luck Have Fun Records.

slenderbodies
with Tim Atlas
at Amsterdam Bar & Hall
first-avenue.com

slenderbodies is back in town… as part of the “Sugar Machine Tour”, stopping by the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, in St Paul, on October 4, 2024.

We previously saw the band June 2022, and wrote, “The duo (guitarist Benji Cormack from Santa Cruz and singer/guitarist Max Vehuni from Los Angeles) joked how the band has grown since they form in 2016, referring to the two mannequins on the Fine Line Music Café stage. Their biggest hit to date, “anemone” got over 30 million streams, and the two found themselves hanging out with Mura Masa, Passion Pit, and many others.”

Brooklyn-based artist Tim Atlas to open.

We previously saw Atlas in Nov 2022 and wrote, “Opening up the show was Los Angeles’ Tim Atlas [editor’s note: currently based in Brooklyn now], along with Dena on bass, and Zack on drums. You may have seen Atlas on NBC’s The Voice in 2015, as he cover Ed Sheeran, The Neighborhood and Ednaswap. Since then he opened up for Magic City Hippies, even stopping by St Paul in Feb 2020. Best song on Atlas’ brief 35-min set was “Honeycomb”, a really catchy, ‘sweet’ dancey song.”
