Beats Antique is currently in the middle of their "A Thousand Faces" tour, stopping by, on Halloween night, at Mill City Nights in Minneapolis. The show was incredible, thanks to the sold out status ....
Here are shows taking place in Minneapolis/St Paul on October 17, 2014.
BEATS ANTIQUE with Emancipator,
Shpongle
at Myth Nightclub
Friday 10/17/14, 8pm
$25: mythlive.com
When I saw Beats Antique on Halloween last year, it was literally one of the best shows I've ever seen. Part of it was because the audience was really into it (nearly 99% of them dressed up) and also because of their impression light and stage show. The stage was custom built by Obscura Digital, using funding from their Kickstarter campaign. I hope they take that programming with them for this new, current tour called "Creature Carnival".
Emancipator and Shpongle are set to open.

It's been a very long time since I saw Placebo. I remember seeing them at First Avenue in 2001 with Idlewild... so it should be nice to see the band again, some 13 years later.

Opening up for Placebo is The Moth and the Flame, a band that Jess is in love with.

Markéta Irglová
I think I just saw the best music movie recently. It's called Once and it stars Glen Hansard, from The Frames, and Markéta Irglová. ....
MARKETA IRGLOVA with Rosi Golan
at Cedar Cultural Center
Friday 10/17/14, 8pm
$22 / $25 (Door): thecedar.org
If you've ever seen the film Once, chances are you fell in love with Frames singer Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. After the film, the two became a couple and became The Swell Season ... but ultimately the two broke up. While Hansard recently came through town, it is now Irglova's turn.
The Icelandic singer's new album MUNA is out now and available in all popular formats, including digital, CD, and a recent vinyl pressing.
Rosi Golan: Fortuna
Irglova will be stopping by Minneapolis this Friday, along with Israeli songstress Rosi Golan. Golan will likely play some tracks off her 2008 debut The Drifter and the Gypsy, as well as her recent EP Fortuna, which came out last year on Gypsy Betch.

Rural Alberta Advantage
The Rural Alberta Advantage is tamer. Their audience is a little older (beards, button shirts, beer-drinkers) and I was impressed at how many people knew the RAA songs ....
RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE with July Talk
at First Avenue
Friday 10/17/14, 8pm

The last time we saw The Rural Alberta Advantage, it was at a very, very sold out show at the tiny 7th Street Entry. This time around, the band will be playing at a much bigger capacity venue - First Avenue's mainroom.
Canadian indie folk outfit is out on tour in support of their latest album Mended With Gold... and for this tour, it's written that it will be more intimate with a mixture of new material and old favorites.
Opening up the show will be July Talk, an alt-blues rock group with a new debut US EP called Guns + Ammunition, out now on Island Records.
