The Miki Berenyi Trio (led by Miki Berenyi of Lush fame) is finally playing in Minnesota, with a stop at St Paul’s Turf Club on October 18, 2025.

 

We last saw the Miki in June 2024 and wrote, “The audience who attended the Miki Berenyi Trio’s sold-out show at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall seemed to love the sass. But even more, they cheered a setlist full of songs from Lush and Piroshka, Berenyi’s previous bands. Mixed in with the walls of guitar and airy vocals, Berenyi dutifully delivered the hits that any legacy band knows to deliver to the fans, including Lush’s 1996 single, “Ladykillers,” part of an encore where they just pretended to leave the stage but really just stayed put, doing away with the pretense. (Although the audience did do the traditional “Please play some more!” cheering and foot-stomping, for which Berenyi was suitably amused.) But this version they offered was less “britpop” and more venomous, leaning towards a gothic-industrial mood. The whole night had a spooky vibe, a haunted mansion of atmospheric guitar and vocals trying both to summon and wake the dead.”

Gina Birch and The Unreasonables to open, with DJ Jake Rudh on the turntables.
