Marissa Nadler, Alela Diane & Lucy Michelle @ 7th St. Entry

One of the perils of playing Minneapolis’ 7th St. Entry is that there is only a thin wall separating the tiny club from the First Avenue Mainroom, leading to a fair amount of noise bleed from some of the louder acts. And as far as noise goes, Wednesday night’s imbalance between Dinosaur Jr. (Mainroom) and a three band female folk lineup (the Entry) was about as large a gulf as there is. However, even though whenever the door opened the ladies were drowned out by J. Mascis’ screaming guitar; they still put on an admirably lovely show.

Doomtree “False Hopes XV” Review

While overall False Hopes XV is really only lengthy enough to whet the appetite, it does so with a fire that shows that the Twin Cities’ institution’s best work is far from behind them—it’s happening right now.

BruteHeart “Brass Beads” Review

ButeHeart are still unsigned, play free shows, and have yet to even blow up on the local Twin Cities scene. But once their debut record, Brass Beads, starts getting around, I am convinced that it is only a matter of time before the band will start attracting fans like a Robert Pattinson sighting.

Wake the President “Miss Tierney”

Have a listen to “Miss Tierney,” an upbeat tune about a young man’s fancy for and older bird. I am pretty sure that it’s about jacking off in the shower. It is also an undeniably catchy tune.

The Raveonettes & the Black Angels @ First Avenue

The Raveonettes and the Black Angels both brought their dense, layered wall of sound to First Avenue on Monday night with spirited, incredibly loud sets by both bands, culminating in the Black Angels joining the Raveonettes for their last song of the night, in a celebratory sendoff on their last night of touring together.

Maskinen “Dansa Med Vapen”

Like Bonde Do Role’s work, “Dansa” is a pure tropical club banger, with guttural Portuguese rapping over pulsating keyboards and hot beats.

Holly Miranda “Waves”

Her intimate, head-in-the-clouds jams are great addition to the dream-pop canon—a genre that is currently on fire…
