Our Italian music partner Kalporz filed a report on London-based band Porridge Radio’s Farewell Tour at Monk Club, in Rome, Italy, on Sunday, June 15, courtesy of Aureliano Petrucci.

The band, led by Dana Margolin, was in Minneapolis in January 2025… and shortly after, the band announced their final EP The Machine Starts to Sing, and this was their final tour.

The review didn’t mention the opening band, but I found out it was Tutto Piange, a local singer/songwriter. Her debut EP Dei giorni passati a guardare (Days Spent Watching) was just released on May 23, 2025… and is available on cassette, in addition to CD and digital. You can pick up the cassette at 42 Records.

Prior to opening for Porridge Radio, Tutto Piange played a series of Ostello Bello shows (this is a chain of hostels and bars throughout Italy) in June, starting with Milan Duomo on June 4 and ending in Naples on June 11.

As for Porridge Radio, it would seem that although it’s the end of the band, the reviewer mentioned that Dana Margolin will likely continue as a solo artist. They concluded that if this was the last time we see the band, it was più vero e giusto per dirsi addio (the right way to say goodbye).

These are the only remaining Porridge Radio shows. After these there are no more. Thank you
