Indie pop band Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) is back in the Twin Cities, playing the Palace Theatre, in St Paul, on September 9, 2025.

Japanese Breakfast at First Ave (July 11, 2022)

We saw Japanese Breakfast in July 2022 and wrote, “If you caught the Japanese Breakfast show at First Avenue in September, it’s almost the same show, down to the Little Big League song, “Boyish”, and same encore songs (“Posing for Cars” and “Diving Woman”). Most of the changes in the new song were to drop songs like “In Heaven” and “The Woman That Loves You”, and adding new songs – mostly on the second half of the set: “The Body Is a Blade” to “Slide Tackle”. Still, for the audience, they were still very excited to see Japanese Breakfast again, and always big cheers whenever the gong is used (“Paprika”).”

September 9, 2025 Tuesday Wet Leg

Wet Leg at First Avenue (Mar 3, 2022)

We caught the band in Mar 2022, and wrote, “Speaking of going well, this was only Wet Leg’s second American date, and judging by the reception, they are going to have an absolutely great time. The band was started by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, meeting at Wight College at the Isle of Wight. After ten years of friendship, they decided to produce music under Wet Leg and released their debut single, “Chaise Longue”, which became a massive viral hit. We’re talking over 3 million streams on the music video alone (millions on Spotify as well). It’s easy to see why, the song is fun and it’s catchy… and it’s like nothing you’ve ever heard of, especially when you hear Rhian saying, “I got the big D.” as the song has a sexual connotation.”
