+ Automatic, BNLX, DJ Jake Rudh (Transmission)
Wed 06/20/2018 (7pm/$20)
Poptone is the new project from Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins - both founders of Bauhaus, Tones On Tail and Love and Rockets. It should also be noted that Kevin's daughter, Diva Dompé, is also in the band as bassist.
We caught the band in July 2017, before their debut album, and the group played a selection of Tones On Tail and Love & Rockets songs: "...the newly formed band, decidedly play a bit of a retrospective setlist, featuring plenty of Tones on Tail songs, a bit of Love & Rockets songs, and throwing in a few Daniel Ash solo songs."
Now that their record is here courtesy of Cleopatra Records, expect to hear some new and original Poptone songs... but expect at least a couple of classic Love & Rocket and Bauhaus songs on their upcoming set.
Los Angeles' Automatic and local BNLX, with DJ Jake Rudh (from Transmission) to open.

The English rockers The Horrors is touring the U.S. in support of their latest V album (Wolf Tone label/Caroline International). It's kind of rare to see these guys in the states, so if you live in the area, you should check them out.

Violinist Lindsey Stirling is currently on her Music Box Tour, stopping by the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis last night, June 4th. …

The first time I ever saw violinist Lindsey Stirling in June 2015, I was blown away by how popular she was. She also handcraft her shows to include set designs, videos, designated dancers, and plenty of nerdy instrumentals. Fans loves her, and her fanbase probably grew one thousand times since I last saw her.
Hot recording duo, Alexander Jean (featuring Mark Ballas and BC Jean), has been asked to open up for Stirling on her "Warmer in the Winter Christmas Tour" tour.
The husband & wife duo has a few #1 on the iTunes' Singer/Songwriter charts with their debut EP Head High, and with another #1 for debut single 'Roses and Violets'.

KRIS DELMHORST + JEFFREY FOUCAULT
Husband & wife Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault will be headlining the Cedar Cultural Center. Their record The Wild came out under Kris Delmhorst's name, but featured Jeffrey Foucault and members of his band. Although married, the two maintain very different album and touring careers (in fact, Foucault was last seen in Minneapolis on December 2016)… so it's nice to see that they are co-headlining this current tour.

Ggoolldd will be stopping by the 7th Street Entry this Saturday, in support of their new Teeth EP. We caught the Milwaukee band in October 2016, and wrote, "Musically, the band like a fun electro/pop dance party. Most of their set included songs from their debut Gold+ album... but their latest single 'Undercovers' came out October 7, 2016."

Minneapolis: December 6 to December 8, 2016
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from December 6 to December 8, 2016.
I don't have a Rolling Stone subscription anymore, but I did randomly pick up the latest issue, featuring Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. You can actually read some of the interview online... …
It's been nearly 40 years since The Pretenders emerged as a band, yet Chrissie Hynde's voice still sounds the same as always; full of gravel, fire and soul. ...
at Xcel Energy Center
Tuesday, 12/06/16, 6pm ($49)
xcelenergycenter.com
The last time we talked about Rock Goddess Stevie Nicks, she was living it up on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2015 (she was also touring with Fleetwood Mac, stopping by Minneapolis in January 2015).
Now that the singer/songwriter has some time off to herself, she's back on tour to promote her 2014 album 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault.
Be sure to show up early to avoid the long security line to see The Pretenders in a semi-rare U.S. appearance. The last time I can remember hearing Chrissie Hynde, and company, in the area was in August 2009 (seven years ago) with Cat Power at the Minnesota Zoo.
The Pretenders is currently touring in support of their 11th studio album Alone, which you can read the review here.
We wrote: "On this stellar new album, Chrissie Hynde transitions easily from rockers to ballads as guitars ring out with reverb, keyboards hum and pedal steel sounds its lonely cry like a train passing in the distance."

Milwaukee-based trio Dead Horses will be headlining the Turf Club in St Paul in support of their latest album Cartoon Moon.

Jake Jones
Opening up the show was local musician Jake Jones with a full backing band. We previously mentioned opened up for Mockingbird Son. The band did a lot of songs from The Arrowhead EP …
12/06/16 The Current's Holiday Show, featuring Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Bad Bad Hats, is at	First Avenue. We think Nathaniel Rateliff is one of the most talented musician working today. He has a lot of range, fortunately his soul-filled singing duties as Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats is quite popular in the Minnesota area. The show is sold out.
12/07/16 Jake Jones, Buffalo Fuzz, Wild Age, and Nathan Walker will be playing a special pre-Christmas get-together show at the 7th Street Entry on December 7th. Tickets are only $5. We previously caught Jake Jones in May 2015 and wrote, "The band did a lot of songs from The Arrowhead EP, including "Jake - Mexico", "Serenity", and set closer "Cowboy Song" (which got a loud yip from a fan in the audience). The band also threw in a brand, brand new song called "Chasing Dream", on their 30-min set."
12/08/16 Jeffrey Foucault will headline the Cedar Cultural Center. Foucault's recent album Salt As Wolves is out now. We previously wrote, "The New York Times calls Jeffrey Foucault's recent album, Salt As Wolves (an album we previously mentioned in August 2015) as 'immaculately tailored' and the Boston Globe says it's a 'marvelous record.'
12/08/16 Steel Panther with Wilson will be at the Myth.

Minneapolis: April 1, 2016

Kid Koala
This is a book, completely written and drawn (with accompanying soundtrack) by Kid Koala, called "Nufonia Must Fall". It's a love story between a lonely office girl and an out-of-work robot. …
at McGuire Theater
Saturday, 04/02/16, 7pm ($25)
walkerart.org
The last time Canadian Kid Koala was in town, it was with Arcade Fire, and before that, it was with Deltron 3030. We love the vinyl-scratching DJ, what he does it purely analog and simple... yet incredibly complicated when you actually see him with two turntables.
This upcoming Walker Art show (at the McGuire Theater) will feature an adaption of his book Nufonia Must Fall... which incidentally I own! I previously mentioned the book came with a soundtrack.
Imagined as a graphic novel animated in real time with a live soundtrack, Montreal-based scratch DJ/music producer Kid Koala has created a magical, multidisciplinary adaptation of his book Nufonia Must Fall. Directed by recent Oscar nominee K. K. Barrett (Spike Jonze's Her, Where the Wild Things Are), this clever theatrical adaptation unfolds via GoPro video with a dozen miniature stages and a cast of puppets in a tender robot-meets-office-girl love story. Kid Koala and Toronto's dynamic Cecilia Quartet provide live scoring on piano, strings, turntables, and electronics. Nufonia Must Fall will be performed Friday–Saturday, April 1 and 2, 8 pm, in the William and Nadine McGuire Theater. Copresented by the Walker Art Center and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's Liquid Music Series.
Kid Koala is a world-renowned scratch DJ, music producer and award winning graphic novelist. He has released four solo albums on Ninja Tune the most recent being 12 bit Blues. He has also released two graphic novels: Nufonia Must Fall and Space Cadet has been involved in collaborations such as Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, and The Slew.

Swedish singer, pianist and songwriter Anna von Hausswolff will be releasing The Miraculous, her third studio album on November 13th via Other Music / City Slang / Pomperipossa.
While you wait for the release, NPR recently previewed the single "Come Wander With Me/Deliverance" on their website.
NPR's Lars Gotrich wrote: "When you record on one of Scandinavia's largest pipe organs, the result damn well better be a thing of monstrous beauty and bombast. Anna von Hausswolff took her band and longtime producer Filip Leyman to the concert hall Acusticum in Piteå, Sweden, to work on her third album, The Miraculous. If the first single, "Come Wander With Me/Deliverance," is any indication, be prepared to meet thy blown-out, organ doom."
WOLF COMPANY
Introducing progressive rock quartet, Wolf Company, featuring Mike Jones (vocals), Jack Hogg (guitar), Nick Farnworth (bass), and Matt Harrison (drums).
The Manchester based band recently debut video single for the song "Your Stain."
Regarding the single, drummer Harrison said, "The initial idea for Your Stain was sculpted around a couple of bass riffs that were introduced in a writing session. These riffs were then matched with a chorus that Hogg (guitar) had written quite a while prior to that particular session, and when he and Mike (vocals) worked on vocal melodies to compliment what we already had, the rest of the song almost fell into place. The finer details and more intricate elements of the song were put in place when most of the final product had already been written, but from the beginning of the writing process to the end of the nitty gritties, moulding every part and concept together was a relatively smooth journey."
