We caught Matthew E. White a few years ago with Okkervil River in Minneapolis (11/01/13). At the time he was promoting his re-release of Big Inner.

Richmond's Matthew E. White is back on tour, in support of Fresh Blood, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut Big Inner. Produced by White and Spacebomb partner Trey Pollard and mixed by Pat Dillett (David Byrne, Nile Rodgers), Fresh Blood is now streaming in its entirety via NPR.
We saw White a few years ago and I thought he had a solid set, including a nice cover of Neil Young's "Are You Ready for the Country".
Brooklyn's Wilsen (by the way of London) will be opening up the show. Look for her Magnolia Remix EP out on April 14, 2015... featuring Wye Oak's remix of "Sea to Sea" and Sun Glitters' remix of "Magnolia".

THE TING TINGS w/ Kaneholler
at Fine Line Music Cafe

British duo The Ting Tings (Katie White & Jules De Martino) will be back in Minneapolis this April 3rd, 2015 at the Fine Line Music Café, in support of their third studio album Super Critical (Finca Records/[PIAS]). The latest album was co-produced by Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, and was not entirely loved by the 'super critics'. I don't understand the reviews, I listened to the singles off Super Critical, they are really catchy and fun little songs. I think they're just meant to be funky disco songs, and I love it. Expect the Ting Tings to play Super Critical on this tour, but obviously throwing in their hit UK singles "That's Not My Name", "Hands", and "Hang It Up".
Vol 3
Kaneholler
Special guest on this tour is Kaneholler, an electric-soul duo (Chelsea Tyler and Jon Foster) from Venice Beach, California (by the way of Brooklyn, New York). For the live tour, Tyler's brother, Taj will also be joining the group as part of their road crew.
The band recently released their Vol 3, their third EP, and currently in Austin, Texas (as well as The Ting Tings) for SXSW.
Trivia: Chelsea and Taj Tyler are son and daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
