Sonic Youth is coming!!

Well I am shock! I just went to Wikipedia to maybe find some information on Kim Grodon that I didn't know before, you know, some interesting trivia piece to put in my blog about Sonic Youth playing at First Avenue. I certainly found that interesting piece of information I was looking for! Kim Gordon is 56 years old! That is almost SIXTY!!!! That is insane. I always thought she was about my mom's age, but nope, Kim has her beat by a decade! She looks great for being almost sixty, I can't believe it!
Anyways, Sonic Youth will be in Minneapolis at First Ave on Thursday, July 17th.
They haven't been here in a few years and I know that I haven't seen them since they were at the Quest Club years ago.
First Avenue tickets for this show will sell quickly, Sonic Youth is one of those bands that has grandfathered a lot of the bands that we listen to today. When I was at the Quest show years ago, it was so packed that you could barely move! And if memory serves me correctly the Quest was a little bigger than First Avenue.

Don't put off buying your First Avenue tickets for this show! They will sell out!

Conor Oberst is back again already!!!

The Minneapolis concert list just keeps piling up! I am going to have to take out a loan to keep up with all of them. Wednesday, June 24th Conor Oberst will be back with his Mystic Valley Band. They have a new album out on May 5th called "Outer South" and are touring in support of it. First Avenue tickets for this show may not sell out right away, but anytime Conor Oberst is in town First Avenue is always packed. I remember the first time that I saw Bright Eyes there the club was so packed that you could not move an inch. I swear they were at least 500 people over capacity. Had there been a fire we may not have all made it! However, it is worth mentioning that this was during the days of First Avenue's previous owners, I doubt the new owners would make the same silly mistake.


Anywho, you can buy the album:

May 5th, 2009 at your local record store

and you can see the band live at First Avenue on the 24th of June!

I will definitely be seeing you there!

The Faint / Ladytron is tonight!

Hopefully you are ready to call it an early night. I just got off the phone with First Avenue and the Faint show starts super early! I am not going to even make it to the opening band or part of Ladytron's set (gotta love car trouble!) So if you haven't gotten your First Avenue tickets for this show yet you may want to act fast, the doors open at 5pm, so any remaining tickets may sell fast and early.



Telepathe: 6pm
Ladytron: 6:45
The Faint: 8:45

I think the whole show has to be done at 10 because First Avenue's Ritmo Caliente night begins at 11.

see you at the show (late!)
