Mac DeMarco at First Avenue (May 6, 2026)
Mac DeMarco will be headlining First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on May 6, 2026.
Mac DeMarco @ House of Vans, New York (06 12 14)
We saw Mac DeMarco in June 2014 and wrote, “Mac DeMarco was a crowd favorite that night at House of Vans, creating a crowd five times bigger by the time they began their set. With their chill rock music, Mac DeMarco played crowd favorites (though it seemed like all the songs were met with extreme enthusiasm) like “Salad Days” and “Passing Out Pieces.” With a tucked in shirt and his signature cap, DeMarco acted grandpa-like throughout the set, from the way he plays his guitar to his dancing to his extremely polite tone of voice. There were, of course, moments where he definitely was not so well-mannered, like when he decided to put the security guard in the pit between his legs, or when he mentioned the band would be by the merch later and said, “and if you don’t want to hang, fuck you!” Though his music does not inspire mosh pits (in the traditional sense), there was an almost consistent one in the middle of the crowd by the fifth song to the end of the set, where DeMarco crowd surfed for a good minute.”
Mock Media to open.

ADULT. at 7th St Entry (May 8, 2026)
Detroit’s synth-punk, electroclash duo Adult. (Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) is headlining the 7th St Entry, in Minneapolis, on May 8, 2026, in support of Kissing Luck Goodbye.
Adult
We saw Adult. in May 2022 and said, “Finally, Adult. (Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller) closed the show out. Their fanbase are diehard fans, many of them have seen the Detroit band numerous times. For this tour, it would seem like they were using the Ring girl as inspiration on their concert poster. They seem to invoke fear and dread of a supernatural evil girl crawling on the floor, set to a blood red background. The truth is, seeing them on stage, I thought it was closer to other horror genre, like Hellraiser. It’s all good, they still had a great electroclash/electropunk sound. Singer Nicola Kuperus is often seen with her arms open, holding double mics (both have different sound effects). She seemed really happy to be on stage to her adoring fans.

Cut Worms at Turf Club (May 8, 2026)
Cut Worms returns to Minnesota, playing the Turf Club, in St Paul on May 8, 2026.
Cut Worms
We caught Cut Worms in Oct 2023 and said, “Turn out for the Cut Worms (aka Max Clarke) show was incredible, for a sleepy Tuesday night! You wouldn’t know it until Cut Worms took the stage, and his fans filled out the dance floor nicely. Clarke played a lot of tunes from his latest self-titled album, which is actually his third album. His debut album, called Hollow Ground was a big hit on Metacritic (thanks to Pitchfork leading the positive review). With the new self-titled album, Clarke mentioned that he was inspired by The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson) four-and five-part harmonies, so the record comes across feeling like it was written in the 60s. You can certainly pick up the influence when you hear them play “Ballad of the Texas King” live on stage, with the jangle harmony.”
Tchotchke
Tchotchke to open. We saw Tchotchke in April 2023 when they were first in the city: “Opening the show was New York’s Tchotchke (formerly Pinky Pinkyl from Los Angeles). The all-girls trio features singer and drummer Anastasia Sanchez, bassist Eva Chambers, and guitarist Emily Tooraen. This was their last week with King Tuff, and they were sad to leave the tour. They recounted that they’ve been on the road with Tuff for what seemed like five weeks already…. Maybe it’s their first time in the Twin Cities, but they were curious if Minnesotans ever “get cold?” Anastasia continues, “I mean, it’s cold here and you guys get snow.” They are referring to the fact that we were hit with a snow storm the previous night, resulting in four or five inches of snow on the ground. While it’s uncommon to get snow in April, Minnesotans shrug it off as Nature’s April Fools.”
