Irene is perking her ears for the test pressing to a new single by Fletcher Magellan, the latest single from our in-house record label (Hymies Records, naturally). We’re holding off on a release date for this one, record pressing being the unpredictable business it is these days, but you can catch Fletch with his band on Saturday night at the Reverie.
His seasonally-appropriate opener is the recently revived El Le Faunt and his Traveling Circus!
Also on Saturday is the record release show for Celebrate Your Worth, the umpteenth and latest LP from The Blind Shake. We hope to feature this amazing expansion of their “extraterrestrial backyard surf party” later this week, but in the event time gets the better of us, as if often does, we’ll just say it may be the most wide-ranging and best album by this band who remains not only a favorite here at Hymie’s but all over the Twin Cities.
Need a little more epic live music to celebrate between now and Halloween? Minneapolis’ own goth-metal legends Morticia (so deeply in the crypt that the closest thing to an official website it still a ReverbNation page) will play a reunion show on Sunday night at the Whiskey Junction. Its their first show since the band returned from the dead to play here last Halloween. We’re told in place of last year’s Rocky Horror Picture show encore, the band is planning an Alice Cooper tribute!
