First Avenue Tickets

Looking for a fun and cheap concert to go to? Let me introduce to you the annual Best New Bands show at First Avenue. It happens every January and features some the years best talent all at one show. All bands will be of different genres and the cover is under ten bucks!

Here are the list of bands that will be playing this year: LEISURE BIRDS, MOONSTONE, NO BIRD SING, PETER WOLF CRIER, RED PENS, SLAPPING PURSES, and TWILIGHT HOURS.

While First Avenue tickets will not sell out for this show, First Avenue tickets are on sale now and will be sold at the door well after the start of the show. Normally this is a show I go to every year, but it looks like this year there might be a Vikings playoff game this year the same day (keep your fingers crossed!) Vikings tickets, however, are a much different story and much harder to find.

One of the bands in this year's show is Leisure Birds, which according to their Myspace page classify themselves as "Japanese Classic Music" - how does that not make you a just a little curious. They also have some upcoming shows at the Turf Club with another great local band, Vampire Hands, which was featured in this showcase two years ago.

January 9th happens to also be a Saturday this year, so if you are looking for a cheap date night or cheap show to go to - this is your answer!
