First Avenue

Been a fan since I got a hold of ancient melodies when I was a junior in highschool. Now at 40 I finally can say I have seen them live 😁 Setlist was a great mix of up tempo and chill tunes. I'm so stoked that they played 'mess with time', absolutely rocked! By the way, hearing them covering Heartless Bastards 'the mountain' was no joke one of the best moments in my life in the past 10 years... Completely unexpected slide-guitar rippin convergence of deliciousness. Thank you so much for the experience. BtS is the best.

Had a great time seeing these guys back on stage again. It's always a treat to watch Dave on guitar. He's one of the most personable musicians out there. Pure talent & a heart of gold. Their sound as a whole, however, has me hooked for life. Glad I was able to be there!

Tweedy was in good form. The setlist was solid, mostly playing songs from Override Twilight with a few special songs from local heroes Prince and The Replacements. Tweedy songs lack the complexity of Wilco and at times they felt like training wheels for the younger band. Still, a good show. Jeff clearly loves Minneapolis and the feeling is mutual.

So grateful they came and played in mpls again. Emma is sorely missed, I hope her career pivot is successful! Matt is also missed as his work was stellar on the albums and I ‘m grateful to have seen him live while with the band. Hoping Russell can find the band’s groove going forward. His approach to the guitar is as notable as any other artist out there! I wish their concerts were better promoted! They are a great band, deserving of headlining on their own! Kudos to the musicians accompanying Russell. The range and intonation of the female vocalist greatly differs from Emma. But while she sang the parts, that dissonance that Emma and Russell created at times while independently carrying their own melodies was a big part of their sound. The new album and songs played gives me hope for Band of Skulls continuity and hopefully more shows in mpls!

An intimate show. Although I would personally have loved to hear some early favorites like Creature, Serial Doubter, or Brothers, Andy and Kyle did sing many of their crowd pleasers. Field Guide provided an excellent warm-up and strong back-up to close out show. Concert interspersed with humor and crowd work. And Alabama Haint sounded incredible live. My date and I very much enjoyed!

EVERYONE ALWAYS FEELS WELCOME AT KFLAYS SHOWS! Also such positive inspirational uplifting messages to her fans. We feel so good and welcome during and after! She lost half of her hearing and still performs SO incredibly Beautifully energetically amazing! She also freestyled beyond possible with incredible speed and flow. She sang with a gift like no other musician can. She shredded on guitar. There is no show like a kflay show always a great performance and vibe!!!!!!!!

I am so happy that Minneapolis was included on the How It Ends album's 20th Anniversary tour. Excellent performances by all, including the trumpet playing drummer and the Minneapolis local who joined in on trumpet. Nick's voice was strong and compelling. Tom is a virtuoso of everything he touches. And Jeanie is there providing that driving baseline groove.

I love Everclear and saw them several times 20+ years ago. It was a fun show but they just aren’t sounding as great these days. Art loves what he does and it shows but his voice struggled and it felt like he only sang about half of the lyrics. I’m glad I went for nostalgia but probably wouldn’t go to see them again.

The band was bangin!!! The lights at the venue were blinding to the crowd. The sound mix was a bit questionable (guitar was really light in the mix). Vocals were great and out in front. The transition from Ed Harcordt to the Whigs was really awesome. If it weren’t for the lighting at First Ave, this would have been a 10 on a scale of 1-5.

Ruston is a brilliant artist and performer. His songs are thought provoking about the human experience. While some of the material comes from dark and painful experiences, he has a way of evoking a feeling of hope and optimism. If you like music with a little emotional depth to it, definitely try him out. I must have listened to the Weakness 50 times the first month it came out. Some favorite random Ruston lyrics: "Looking at the flowers coming up from the ground, through all of the rubble of everything that I tore down." "I'm either shooting a bullseye or trying to miss." "And I remember what TK said: You can't steer no boat by looking back at the wake"

Oh my god, they were so cool! All the bands on our show in Minnesota were phenomenal. Dragonforce absolutely blew me away and I even got to meet Herman and Marc! I’ve been waiting to see them since I was in 6th grade and, I have to say, they were so much better than I ever imagined.

Seeing them was a long time coming as I missed out seeing them in 2020 due to the pandemic. They played a longer set than other bands that are quite popular, yet an opener. It was a fantastic set by them and flew by in no time. To me, the sound for them wasn't the best. The drums drown out much of the rest of the instrumentals. Loved to see Elize in person.

NBT and their opening act Kid Kapichi were easily worth the admission. Frankly I’m shocked NBT isn’t charging a hundred bucks for GA tickets. Kid Kapichi is a nice new punk complement to Nothing But Thieves’ mix of indie and ballads and soul. First Avenue has always been a dingy a*s venue but I like the upstairs bar and viewing area. This was our fourth NBT show in Minneapolis and we will always come back for them. Looking forward to more Kapichi shows too.

This hometown show was one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended. I initially got a ticket to see the opener Stand Atlantic, but after giving Mod Suns music a listen I fell in love. For the first time seeing him and just becoming a fan, I had an absolute blast! I will continue to grow as a huge fan of his. He has such a large heart and is insanely talented!

It was an excellent show. Last night of the tour and the last show with his drummer of 30 years. He got very emotional and actually left the stage in tears after thanking his whole touring staff, band members and the audience. It’s the most I’ve ever seen him engage the audience. A concert I will remember for ever!!

Everyone in the crowd: "I'll get over you I know I will. You made a whole in my heart, but I won't shed a tear for you. I'll be the king of wishful thinking" Me: "I'll be the Queen of wishful thinking!" Great show you guys, it was great seeing you guys live finally. I wish the best forward through the restnof the tour 🥰💗

Realized they were opening for a different band and only performed for 30 mins, really wanted to see them be the main performers because they're amazing (definitely going to be staying up to date with their schedules). Nonetheless, seeing them perform for 30 mins was awesome! It made my entire week! Love their music and they sound great live! I really can't wait for them to be the main performers next time!

I didn't take any photos but it was great! First time at First Ave. Michigander and Foxing were amazing and really engaging! Opening for Manchester Orchestra is nothing to shrug at. And these two acts have put the work and soul into their beautiful music and it shows. Love you guys! Thanks for playing your hearts out!

Long time listener and fan but I had never seen DC live until last night. It was well worth the wait. I will definitely be attending all future shows in my city. Chris is for sure one of the best ones of the best ones. He really knows how to work a crowd and deliver a heart filled personalized show. Thanks for all you do! Loved it!!

This was my first time seeing Yungblud and all I can say is Wow. The energy at this show was unbelievable. Dom and his band put on such an amazing show and the crowd just loved them. This concert is definitely in my top 5 of the best concerts I have ever been to. I will DEFINITELY be going again! 💗🖤
