Pond

Australian band Pond is touring in support of Stung!. The tour will stop in at First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on November 23, 2024.

We saw Pond in Oct 2018 and wrote, “Fresh from their recent appearance at Desert Daze, Australia’s Pond (not to be confused with American 90s band Pond) has sold out their 7th Street Entry appearance. It shouldn’t be a surprise, given how hot psych rock is at the moment… and the fact that Pond’s members are also in the incredibly popular Tame Impala.”

iDKHOW

at First Avenue

Salt Lake City RIAA Gold-certified musical I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, or shortened to iDKHOW will be headlining First Avenue’s mainroom, on November 24, 2024.

We saw I Don’t Know How But They Found Me in August 2022 and said, “The secret is out about Salt Lake City band I Dont Know How They Found Me (no apostrophe and shortened as iDKHOW) and members Dallon (ex Panic! at the Disco) Weekes and drummer Ryan Seaman. The band’s sometimes bombastic and retro-tinged sound struck gold with breakout single, “Leave Me Alone” and 2020 full-length, Razzmatazz and their fan base continues to grow, made evident by a packed (and mostly female) front railing along the barricade that seemed to know almost every lyric.”

Cole Diamond’s Twangsgiving
ft. Tropical Depression ( Alan Jackson Tribute )
+ dance lessons from Line Dance with Billie
with Boot Cut and Cowboy Thoughts
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

Celebrate Thanksgiving with Cole Diamond and friends at the Twangsgiving show the night before T-Day.

You get to hear some Alan Jackson covers by Tropical Depression, as well as Line Dance with Billie.

You might recall we saw Line Dance with Billie in Sep 2024 and noted, “While the next band was being setup in the lawn, the dance lawn was taken over by Line Dance with Billie, who did two sessions (both different). Perhaps it was hard and follow what Billie was doing (or people were just drunk), but, and I hate to say it, the audience was doing a terrible job! It didn’t really matter if you follow the steps or synchronize with your dancing partner, as long as you were having fun and laughing, that’s what counts.”

Boot Cut and Cowboy Thoughts to open.

Cole Diamond writes:

Thanks to all the ghouls and goblins at @dustysbiggreenbooth last night. Also, shout out to @scott_mcph3rson for sitting in on drums and @jeffrey_robert_larson for always being the best dressed. Little bit of a tight squeeze but we made it out alive. Next up we have a nice little weekend in Wisconsin on the horizon. ✌🏻🪨💎

11/02 @themousetraptavern – Eau Claire, WI
