Rising from their origins in one of my favorite cities in the country, Denver, CO, is a band that captures and captivates a crowd of young, old, and in between.  The Lumineers put out their second full length album ‘Cleopatra’ in April of 2016. Currently touring off the album, Wesley Schultz (singer, guitar, piano), Jeremiah Fraites […]

SIMS – making a long overdue, hometown solo performance with WebsterX, AIR CREDITS (The Hood Internet x ShowYouSuck) and NAZEEM & SPENCER JOLES – lit First Ave’s mainroom on fire. Not literally. That would be bad. SIMS and the whole Doomtree crew bring a vibe to their shows you don’t get on the road. The […]

One of The Show Last Night’s longest running “traditions” is to create a list of the best content we’ve created throughout the year, at the end of each year! This year is no different in that manner.

Murder By Death with guests Twin Limb & Laura Stevenson are making an appearance at the Fine Line Music Cafe this Friday, November 11th, 2016. Don’t let their name fool you; this is not a metal show, rather, a can-be-upbeat-but-still-dark type of band. They have a cello, people! A cello headed by Sarah Balliet pulling […]

Being in an environment surrounded by so many amazing photographers is greatly influential but also feeds deeply into my own self-doubt. We live in a society of artists that are constantly working to better them and move forward in their trade. This has been both a blessing and a curse for me. Part of me […]

Sonny Knight & The Lakers have become a hometown favorite to Minneapolis. They’re leading a revival of soul music not only in the twin cities, but arguably the upper Midwest.

Chicago natives Whitney sold out The Triple Rock Social Club last night. And for damn good reason. This was Whitney’s first show after coming home to the US from a European tour. Jet-lagged and all, they sounded absolutely perfect. Frontman and drummer, Julien Ehrlich lead the night with witty banter and wispy tunes that would […]
