Adele tickets
First Avenue has just announced a super awesome concert: Adele in the main room on Thursday, May 26th. You may remember a few years ago Adele released her single "Chasing Pavement" and with a little help from VH1 it was a giant success. Around that same time she toured and made a stop here at the Fitzgerald - it ended up being a very hot ticket at the time.
First Avenue tickets for the all ages Adele show go on sale this Friday, February 11th. An opening act has not been announced yet. Not that it matters too much - Adele will have no problem selling this show out on her own. People LOVE Adele. And I will admit, she has an amazing voice.
Adele is currently touring in support of her new album, "21" which has already been praised to rave reviews and debuted at number one in several countries. Like I said, people LOVE Adele.
I just read Adele's Wikipedia and she sounds like a pretty classy lady. Now my curiosity is peaked and I kind of want to buy my own First Avenue tickets to the show and check it out.

Deftones tickets
Do you have your Deftones tickets yet? Well, you better run to them if you don't. Rumor on the street is that First Avenue tickets are sold out for this one. I secured my First Avenue tickets for the show last Friday. I DO NOT want to miss these guys at First Avenue again. If they were playing at Roy Wilkins or opening for someone at the Xcel then I would in no way, shape, or form care to make the effort to see these guys. But ... how can you say not to First Avenue. After all, one of the first concerts I went to was the Deftones. The Deftones were my first concert NOT at the Xcel or Target Center. I loved it. I went to see them at the now defunct Quest Club. There were 1200 people in that place that were in as much love as I was with them.
The Deftones are touring in support of their newest album, Diamond Eyes, which was released last May. The Deftones also continue in fundraising efforts for their ill fated bassist, Chi. I was really saddened to hear that he had been in a car accident ages ago and it didn't make the news or anything. Well over a year ago he was in a car accident that left him in a vegetative state. He will never be conscious again. Its an unbelievable tragedy for such a tight knit group of people.
See you at the show on April 28th!
It's difficult to believe it will be Twins season by that time?!

Middle Brother Tickets
Middle Brother may be the best indie super group of all time. What makes up Middle Brother. Well, only about the coolest guys/musicians of my favorite band to see live. What are the components of Deer Tick? Well let me tell you: John J. McCauley III of the band Deer Tick, Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit.
So not only will there be a set by the headliners, Middle Brother, but there will also be opening sets by the Delta Spirit, Dawes, and Deer Tick. !!!!!!!!!! Minneapolis music fans LOVE Dawes as represented at their last show. But please, everyone do yourself a favor and see Deer Tick. All the hipster kids love the Delta Spirit, and while I will admit they are good, no one on that stage will be able to hold a candle to Deer Tick.
Absolutely. Cannot. Wait.
First Avenue tickets are on sale now for the Deer Tick show on Monday, March 14th in the main room. With so many awesome and well loved acts First Avenue tickets will sell fast. However, it is Deer Tick that will steal the show. John McCauley and Co. will have everyone's eyes on them. Do not show up late to miss these guys!

Bright Eyes Tickets
So I may sound like a huge nerd here, but I am absolutely ecstatic for the new Bright Eyes album. There is so much hype about it. I mean, Conor Oberst has released solo albums, toured and recorded with Monsters of Folk, but has not been under the "Bright Eyes" name in at least 5 years. The last time Bright Eyes was here was before George Bush was elected to a second term. How can I forget "When the President Talks to God" one of my all time favorite concert moments. It was totally unexpected that he play such a B-Side. You could have heard a pin drop in the State Theater that night - everyone was absolutely mesmerized and Conor received a standing ovation. Magic!
First Avenue tickets are on sale now for both Bright Eyes shows in April. Yeah, that's right - there is going to be two of them. I ran out and bought my First Avenue tickets for both of the shows because I will not be missing either one of them.
I can't wait!

Lauren Hill tickets
It's official - Lauryn Hill is totally sold out! First Avenue tickets are pretty difficult to come for this one. Electric Fetus Tweeted that they received a few First Avenue ticket extras in on Friday, however, those are long long gone.
As I stated before Lauren Hill hasn't been here since the Up In Smoke tour back in 2002 so this is kind of a big deal.
The Lauryn Hill tour got off to a rocky start. She showed up over two hours late to her first show. I know you are talented and think that the world revolves around you Lauren, but seriously. Not everyone is an R & B singer and have actual jobs they must get to the next day. After her Brooklyn, NY show audience had to wait four hours for her to show up all she could say, ""I sacrificed my 20s for you … ," she said. "I personally know I'm worth the wait."
Well, Lauryn Hill, isn't that nice. While I will admit this is a once in a decade kind of show, I will definitely be sitting this pompous show out.

Ice Cube tickets
He's back! Ice Cube is back for an unexpected show on Tuesday, March 15th. People that are my age remember Ice Cube for his work with NWA and a lucrative solo rap career in the early-mid nineties. However, most people younger than me think of Ice Cube as the actor which he is better known for these days.
Seriously, try to name an Ice Cube or NWA album? Yeah, a little difficult without Google. Now try to name a few of the movies that he has been in? Boyz in the Hood, Friday, Next Friday, Barbershop (and the sequel), and the Players Club - just to name a few. Ice Cube has also been an executive producer on all of the above mentioned movies and countless others. Needless to say, Ice Cube has really made a name for himself. It makes me wonder what Ice Cube is doing rapping again? I suppose he would say he never stopped. Afterall he is promoting his 2010 "I am the West" release.
First Avenue tickets go on sale this Saturday for the March 15th show. Sorry kiddies, this is an 18+ show. No opening act has been announced yet. Keep in mind that Thursday nights are Ritmo Caliente nights so this will not be a late show. You should be able to be in bed in time for school the next day!
Ice Cube and Chris Tucker steal a scene in "Friday"
