Winter at 7th St Entry (Oct 5, 2025)

October 5, 2025 Sunday
Winter
with Hooky
at 7th St Entry

It’s been a while, but Winter is returning to the 7th Street Entry on October 5, 2025, in support of her new album Adult Romantix (Winspear).

Winter at the Nether Bar (October 28, 2015)

I’ll never forget the first time we saw Winter, about ten years ago: “Up next was Los Angeles-based Winter (not to be confused with UK’s Winter or UK brother/duo Winter). The misfortunate thing about this band is their name, which is a common word and is confusing with various existing Winter bands (also the Winterlings, Winter Braves, Winter Sounds, Jacky Winter, Wintersleep, etc.) This dream pop/shoegaze group is led by singer/guitarist Samira Winter…”

Hooky to open.

The Sword at First Avenue (Oct 5, 2025)

Oct 5, 2025 Sunday
The Sword
with Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and Pink Fuzz
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

Austin’s The Sword returns to Minneapolis, playing First Avenue on October 5, 2025.

The Sword at Mill City Nights (March 9, 2014)

We saw the Sword in Mar 2014, and said, “Austin, TX bred The Sword headlined the evening with a 75 min. set of no-frills, so-called stoner doom metal… that inexplicably began with the intro music of Jay-Z’s ’99 Problems’. The four-piece is out in support of its fourth and latest effort, Apocryphon (Razor and Tie), with song titles not out of place in a Tolkien novel or as an episode name on Game of Thrones. While the newer songs embrace more of a classic hard rock sound (think early Sabbath), they fit seamlessly within the context of the older, darker material.”

Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol to open. The Austin trio, released Big Dumb Riffs in May 2024.

Pink Fuzz is also on the bill.
