The Wedding Present
with The Tubs
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com

The Wedding Present, in celebration of the 35th Anniversary of Bizarro, will be playing the entire album, along with other classics from their discography. The tour will stop by the Turf Club, in St Paul, on May 31st, 2025.

We saw Wedding Present in Mar 2012 and wrote, “As for the Wedding Present, as promised, they did play the entire Seamonsters album, but it didn’t actually start in until eight songs in! They did some new songs (“Meet Cute”, “Deer Caught In The Headlights”) and some old ones (Cinerama’s “Quick, Before It Melts”, their 1987 single, “Anyone Can Make a Mistake”), a pretty good mix. Banter was kept to a minimum because singer David Gedge thought it would break up the flow of the album. Songs from the Seamonsters album were played back to back, lots of guitar switching (they were pre-tuned). They didn’t go off stage, but I’m thinking “Drive” and their 1986 single “You Should Always Keep in Touch with Your Friends” were the encore songs.”

The Tubs to open.

Jackie Venson
with Mary Cutrufello
at 7th St Entry
first-avenue.com

Austin’s rising star Jackie Venson will be headlining the 7th Street Entry, in Minneapolis, on May 31st, in support of her new album The Love Anthology.

We saw Venson in Aug 2017 and wrote, “Opening the evening was fellow Austin native and Berklee School of Music graduate Jackie Venson with an energetic and generous forty-five minute set, in support of her latest, the self-released Live at Strange Brew and who has a new single, ‘Flying’, recently out. Venson beamed with an infectious smile for her set and the joy she and her bassist and drummer showed in playing live, translated to the audience in the most positive way and they responded accordingly. Most songs were rhythmic and uptempo, but earmarked with honey sweet vocals and a blistering guitar solo, amazing enough in their dexterity, that Clark Jr. should either be worried about the competition, or just glad he has a friend in Venson.”

Mary Cutrufello to open.
