I really wanted to catch British shoegazing band 2:54 on their first USA tour, but due to a rare opportunity to see Jonathan Coulton at the Gutherie Theatre on June 18, 2012, I had to let Amy G take charge for this Triple Rock Social Club show.
London's 2:54 and Glasgow's Honeyblood are currently on a co-headlining tour on their way to Austin, Texas, for the annual SXSW Music Festival.
Here are some shows taking place in Minneapolis/St Paul on March 4 to March 6, 2015 - The Wailers, The Church, 2:54, Sean Watkins
Great Scott!: Honeyblood, Simple Minds, Vaselines, and Texas
The xx show was a little somber, with flashing lights at the appropriate beats. I was expecting more dancing from the audience, but for the most part, they kept very still. Which is cool, as someone pointed out that it was nice to see people actually listening and watching the show on stage.
Brooklyn's Widowspeak finally made their way to Minneapolis, at last night's show at the 7th Street Entry.
The weather here in Minneapolis is getting colder. If this keeps up, I may have to go into winter hibernation mid-November or earlier. In the meantime, October (aka "Rocktober") has been pretty bad for concerts. I'm seeing a lot of shows this month; I guess I have to get as many in before the winter. I will be coming out of hibernation in April 2013: Hunter Valentine, the xx, Brandy, Simon Spire
The much-hyped London-based shoegaze-tinged sister act 2:54 played the Triple Rock (and Minneapolis) for the first time Monday night.
