Kiss the Tiger
with Pavielle
at Icehouse

Minneapolis favorites Kiss the Tiger is kicking off their national tour with a local show at the Icehouse, on September 11, 2025. The band’s new album Infinite Love is out now.
We saw Kiss the Tiger in Oct 2023, and wrote, “Opening the show was local band Kiss the Tiger, who said they’ve never played the Palace before, and they were really impressed with the (“old but new”) venue. We were at the Palace open house in December 2016 and wrote, “Downtown St. Paul will add another jewel to its cultural crown soon and what’s old is new again as the Palace Theatre is soon to re-open, for the first time since 1984, on 7th Place, a pedestrian-only block in the heart of the city center.” Kiss the Tiger is fronted by dynamic lead singer Meghan Kreidler, with rhythm guitarist Michael Anderson, guitarist Bridger Fruth, bassist Paul DeLong, and drummer Jay DeHut.”
PaviElle (PaviElle French) to open.
We did see PaviElle in July 2015, as part of an all-star cast for Secret Stash Records, featuring the late, great Sonny Knight: “Everyone performing was having a great time, first with Sonny Knight singing “Caveman”, then introduced Wanda Davis (who needed assistance coming on and off the stage) for “Take Care”… Davis then introduced PaviElle French, etc. By the time Maurice Jacox, and later, Cameron Kinghorn, this suddenly became a great variety soul music showcase. Everyone had their deserving moment in the spotlight.”
P.S. If you just want to check out Kiss the Tiger for free, they are playing Lowertown Sounds on August 7, 2025. Hopefully it doesn’t rain!

For the Get Back: Rooftop Rewind event on September 14, 2025, at Graze Food Hall by Travail, they hope to recreate and reimagine the Beatles’ final concert with the Beatles cover band Dig a Pony Club (led by Al Church). Let’s hope they don’t recreate everything, as the original concert was ended early when police arrived and shut down the whole thing due to noise complaints!
Although the show is free to the public, you can pay for VIP Backstage Pass of $100, which includes various perks like valet parking and drink tokens, etc.
Also, there’ll be a record swap:
If your band is coming to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, please email details to vu@weheartmusic.com with a good lead time. Thank you.
