Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Countdown!

Lets take a walk across the street from First Avenue to the Target Center for a show that I am super excited for ....

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!!!!

Do you have your Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tickets yet?

If you don't that is something you might want to change sooner than later. There are not a lot of tickets left for the show and are certainly in high demand. I bought my Target Center tickets for the Tom Petty show the day after the Superbowl when they went on sale.




Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Special Guest Steve Winwood

(Exactly 2 months from today!!!!)

I will DEFINITELY see you there - I'll be the girl in 131 cheering with my mom!

Dead Meadow Was Awesome, New Shows Announced

It's been awhile since I've been back here, so I would like to start out with saying that the Dead Meadow show at First Avenue was amazing. It was one of the better shows I have seen in a long time. First Avenue tickets for this show were hard to find once it got close to show time. As you know the 7th Street Entry holds about 200 people, tops. Dead Meadow are 3 guys who look like they walked straight out of 1975 with their long hair, Charlie Manson beards and all. It was nice to see a band play that didn't feel like they had to play all their 'hits.' Dead Meadow played for almost 2 hours and it felt like they were playing from the depths of their souls and you could feel the music in you. It was awesome, I hope everyone can experience a live show like this one. I can't wait until they're back!

Anywho, Dead Meadow can't be here everyday, so here are some other great shows at First Avenue in the coming months:

Iron and Wine - Wednesday June 11th, 18+, 7:30pm doors


Mindless Self Indulgence - Thursday, June 12th, All ages, 5:00 pm doors


Mark Mallman (2 Shows!) - Saturday, June 21st - 5pm (all ages) 9pm (21+)


Maria Taylor - Monday, June 30th - door 8pm (21+)


First Avenue tickets for these shows will go fast, especially the Mark Mallman ones!
Be sure to buy your First Avenue tickets before they're all gone!

See you there!

Dethklok Just Announced!

Everyone's favorite band from Cartoon Network's Metalocalypse, Dethklok, will be in town for a show at First Avenue on Saturday, June 14th, 2008.


The Adult Swim adult comedy has a large cult following. It is on Cartoon Network late night on Sundays, between Robot Chicken (one of my favorites) and Family Guy rereuns.

If you haven't seen the show I would highly suggest checking it out.

In case you've been living under a rock, Dead Meadow will be playing the 7th Street Entry this Wednesday! First Avenue tickets for this event are available now, but will no doubt sell out!

Another great show coming soon to First Avenue is Rilo Kiley. If you do not have our Rilo Kiley tickets for this show you better act fast. I think Ticketmaster is already sold out. Not to mention that Rilo Kiley sells out every time they're in town!
