Glixen
with she’s green and Linus
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

Phoenix shoegazers Glixen are on tour in support of their second EP quiet pleasures (available Feb 21 on AWAL and on vinyl via Wichita Recordings). Catch the band at the 7th Street Entry on March 7th, 2025.

We saw Glixen in March 2024, and wrote, “Glixen next took the stage. They are also a shoegazing band from Phoenix, Arizona with headliner Aislinn Ritchie on vocals and guitar with Esteban Santana on guitar, Sonia Garcia on bass and Keire Johnson on drums. Whereas she’s green was more melodic, Glixen leans heavily into fuzz and distortion, as Ritchie explained to Alternative Press: “Our goal is just to have it sound more heavy and grittier, but also have that sweetness to it.” Tuning up their instruments and testing the mics seamlessly led into their first song “Shut Me Down.” Ritchie said it was their first time playing in Minneapolis. “Phoenix is far, far away.” She then asked if they could change the lights to red as they played a new single “foreversoon” and songs from their 2023 EP She Only Said.”

she’s green and Linus to open.

We saw she’s green with Glixen in March 2024, and wrote, “Their sound can be described as lush shoegazing as Armstrong and Lucas hardly looked up from their pedals. A crowd favorite was “Smile Again” as “Tarmac” built into a wonderful crescendo with Smith’s longing vocals.”

We recently wrote that she’s green signed with New York City’s Photo Finish Records and they released “Graze” as the new single.

Wilder Woods
with HAFFWAY
at Uptown Theater
uptowntheatermn.com

Wilder Woods is headlining the Uptown Theater this March 7, 2025.

We saw Wilder Woods in April 2023 and wrote, “Wilder Woods took the stage with a rip-roaring, foot-stomping, hand-clapping set that was one part neo-soul, one part gospel revival with a lot of Southern rock. Rinehart kicked off the evening with “Light Shine In” and kept the evening going in with an endless amount of energy, only dialing it back with songs like “Patience”, “Heavenly Light” and his personal favorite from his new album, “Make Your Own Mistakes”, a love letter to his sons. Rinehart said Minneapolis has a special place in his heart for he played the Varsity fourteen years before and it was after that concert that he met Minneapolis native, Tyler Burkum, who would go on to become his lead guitarist and wingman. He said it took a couple of years of courting to woo Burkum. He said he wished he would have had a better pickup line at the start.”

HAFFWAY to open.

02/20 – Cleveland, OH @ House of Blues
