Three Great New Shows!

If you missed two super sold out show at the Cedar and the Varsity in the past couple of weeks, chances are you are a Grizzly Bear fan and a Phoenix fan. But never fear, First Avenue has confirmed that both acts will be back, and most likely at First Avenue which hold more people. The Varsity Theater holds only 800 and the Cedar Cultural Center holds less than 500. So with First Avenue being able to hold over 1200 people, there should be more opportunities for everyone who wants to go to get a hold of First Avenue tickets.

No dates have been confirmed, I would assume that both would be in the early fall. The First Avenue Concert Calendar has a lot more openings for big shows like this - it's pretty much full through the end of the summer.

And finally, the other great concert announcement at First Avenue is alternative godfathers, Sunny Day Real Estate. They are reunited, featuring singer Jeremy Enigk and the Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith and guitarist Nate Mendel — will reunite for a fall tour. The reunion tour stops in Minneapolis on September 23rd.
First Avenue tickets will sell out for this one, too, so if you're looking to go to any of these shows be sure to get your tickets when they go on sale - check back here for updates. Sunny Day Real Estate tickets go on sale this Saturday.

The smoke around Grizzly Bear is psychadelic, man.

P.S. Did you know that my BFF's Solid Gold will be playing at the Zoo this summer? Heh.

Yes I did! And they were at Rock the Garden last weekend, too. I hope you caught the ridiculous article (cover story even) in Vita.MN.
