Warpaint's latest album features the danceable lead single 'New Song' alongside tracks that are more consistent with Warpaint's oeuvre of meticulous sounds best suited for a rainy day.

If I’d known how much A Prairie Home Companion spotlights music, I would’ve made it to the Fitz much sooner. Okay, maybe mandolinist Chris Thile’s upped the dosage in his new role as host. Saturday marked his third show after Garrison Keillor’s official departure. But from what I gathered during my first time at the quirky…

You know those people you connect with immediately? You meet, you start talking, and soon, you’re laughing non-stop. You have so much in common it seems like you might’ve been following the same paths for years. That’s how I feel when I meet Nyasia. Her full name is Nyasia Arredondo, but she goes by the…

How much do I love PWR BTTM? I spent months planning my glitter-doused outfit for the band’s first headlining show in Minneapolis: a sold-out Thursday show at the 7th St Entry. The first opener was the solo project from Seattle-based Robin Edwards, Lisa Prank. Just a lady, her guitar, and a drum machine on stage, she…

For all of her sad songs, Margo Price puts on a fun show. Touring behind Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, her debut solo album from last March, Price played to a packed Turf Club on Thursday. She performed a one-woman #MicroShow at the Turf back in June, and she stopped in town just two weeks ago to join…

Wilson Miles, “Handle Your Business” Wilson Miles — Minneapolis rapper Tony Wilson and London producer Hector Miles — get real in this lead single from their EP The Golden Handshake. Strange Relations, “Ceremonies” Strange Relations build international cred with this video, which is set in Buenos Aires. They connected with Argentinian filmmaker Lucila Mariani via Mariani’s DIY video for the Go! Team’s “Waking the Jetstream,” which…

Twitter has announced that it’s discontinuing the Vine app. The six-second looping video app never caught on like Instagram or Snapchat — or even like Twitter itself, which bought Vine in 2013, just before the app’s launch.
