Manchester trio GoGo Penguin brought their intricate, guitar-free blend of jazz and electronica to the Fine Line. Surrounded by keyboards, laptops, and acoustic drums, they delivered dizzying polyrhythms and luminous tension. Bassist Nick Blacka anchored the chaos.

I’m not sure if it’s a first for We Heart Music, but last night welcomed the return of a band Horsegirl and its opening act that played at the same venue two years before. Also the drummer in the opening act is the younger brother to one of the headliners. So, a lot of synergy, maybe a perfect trifecta if you could gamble on music.

Downtown was quiet with no ravenous sports fans or torrential rain filling the streets. In fact, it was a perfect night to stroll to a venue.

Downtown Minneapolis was abuzz with Twins fans streaming into Target Field, Sturgill Simpson holding down the fort at the Armory and Wolves fans showing up early at the Target Center for a playoff series against the Warriors. And at the Fine Line, a completely different fan base all dressed up in sparkles and bright colors, showing up early to cheer on a trio from the Golden State.

There was a surprising number of kids around the preteen age group in the audience. When The Linda Lindas came out to the stage with videos of girls reading books with cats on the cover, all of the dresses and shirts in the crowd with cats on them made absolute sense. Their sound is very punky, with a dash of riot grrrls, comfortably loud and catchy. The set started off with “No Obligation.”
