Space Monkey Mafia writes:
The federal government wants to criminalize resistance after killing and kidnapping our neighbors – but we wont back down, we will keep showing up to defend our community in the same way that they’ve showed up for us
Proceeds from our show on July 29 at Turf Club will go towards the legal defense fund for the 15 Minneapolis organizers who are being unjustly prosecuted for their work keeping us safe during Metro Surge.

Church of Cash at History Theatre (July 31, 2026)
July 31, 2026 Friday Church of Cash at History Theatre historytheatre.com
Johnny Cash cover band Church of Cash will be playing the History Theatre, in St Paul, on July 31, 2026.
We previously saw Church of Cash in May 2024 and wrote, “We ventured out of the Twin Cities, west on I-94 to a music venue inside the St. Michael Cinema megaplex to participate in Sunday services at the Church of Cash. Le Musique Room is a dream project between Greg Armstrong and Tom Pickard who converted one of the theaters into a dedicated music venue and billed it as “The World’s Smallest Stadium.” It’s top-flight with one million dollars poured into the lights, the sound system, the stage and seating. Very comfortable seating!”

Daisychain at Amsterdam Bar (Jul 31, 2026)
July 31, 2026 Friday Daisychain with The Silent Treatment, Little Man, Nectarous at Amsterdam Bar amsterdambarandhall.com
Chicago trio Daisychain (Nickole Regala, Frankie Sripada, and Sophia Williams) is back in Minnesota, this time playing the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, in St Paul, on July 31, 2026.
Daisychain
We saw Daisychain in May 2024 and wrote, “Up next was the headliner, Chicago based band Daisychain. The band, with Nickole Regala (vocals, bass), Frankie Sripada (guitar), and Sophia Williams (guitar, backing vocals), was touring in support of their debut full length album, All in a Name, released in June 2025. With a drummer in tow, the quartet went to work with their psych rock sound. Motel was a strong opener, with Regala’s vocals a silky smooth intro for the band. But we also quickly got dual vocals with Williams regularly joining in on fantastic harmonies or dual leads. G String had excellent harmonies both vocally and musically on guitar. I also really dug the band’s stage presence, with a slightly more hard core take. With Williams taking lead vocals, it was a slight change, but also allowed Regala to own the lower end on bass and Sripada to shred on a mid-song solo. Waste Your Time was an absolute head banger, with a bit of retro rock feel.”
