Two New Shows Just Announced!

Two new and awesome shows have been added to the First Avenue Calendar. First, local favorite Mark Mallman has announced his millionth show in the main room on Saturday, September 5th and second, 'Alice in Chains' on Monday, September 21st. I put Alice in Chains in quotations because whoever is touring as Alice in Chains is not really the band. I don't know if the rest of the members got the memo, but Layne Staley died about 7 years ago! It is a pet peeve of mine when bands have members that die (especially key ones like the lead singer) and regroup years later and call themselves by the same name. Why is Led Zeppelin the only band that has this right? Their drummer dies and they stop touring and go their own way.

Anyways, back to two new awesome shows at First Avenue. First Avenue tickets will be available for these shows beginning this weekend and both will be hot sellers. Mark Mallman is a local favorite, he gets a lot of radio airplay. And Alice in Chains will sell a lot of tickets simply because of their name. So if either of these are events you wanting to go to make sure you buy your First Avenue tickets for this even sooner than later!



Mark Mallman
He kind of looks like he might be Har Mar Superstar's brother! (Mark, that is a compliment)
