JJ Sweetheart

at Mortimer’s
mortimerscalendar.com
JJ Sweetheart is having an album release party on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at Mortimer’s.
Self-described as “LOFI trashy psychedelic yearnpop, project of France Camp, Howler and Prim Woes // sounds divorced.”
We haven’t seen France Camp since Aug 2012 and Howler since Jordan dating Johnny Marr’s daughter.
Rupert Angeleyes, Absolutely Yours, Jumbos, Prim Woes to open.
We saw Rupert Angeleyes in July 2015 and wrote, “Next up was Rupert Angeleyes, in green hair and shorts. Like their previously live appearance at Record Store Day 2015, the garagey/60s surf band played tracks from their latest album Young Sunset, including some sensitive songs like ‘Delicate Guy’ and ‘When I Fell in Love’. ”

Rachel Grae
with Holden Miller and Caleb Dee
at 7th St Entry

Rachel Grae, the singer with over 1.3 million TikTok followers and 400 million+ Spotify streams, will be headlining the 7th Street Entry this Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025. Grae’s debut album, Journal No. 1 is out now on Virgin Music.
Holden Miller and Caleb Dee to open. We saw Dee in Nov 2024 and wrote, “Caleb Dee, a local Minneapolis, six-piece band was the opener. Dee mentioned that they had also opened for Krooked Kings last year. This was solid indie pop and seemed thematically similar to the headline. The band played an as yet unreleased song for the second in the list, with the four guitars making a rich sound. Dee invited fans to come closer to the stage, and it was one of the very few times I’ve seen that actually work.”
