The Suburbs
With German Art Students, Chrash.
Brian Grenz
The Suburbs perform at First Avenue, 2017.
One of the most idiosyncratic bands from a 1970s and '80s Minneapolis scene filled with icons, the Suburbs blend dance-friendly grooves, skronky guitar punk and off-the-wall humor for a one-of-a-kind sound. Thankfully, the group has periodically reformed since dissolving in 1987; the current incarnation includes founding singer/keyboardist Chan Poling and drummer Hugo Klaers. They are on tour with a new album, Hey Muse!, set for release on June 23. With German Art Students, Chrash.
$25 ($20 adv.; ages 18+). Doors 8 pm. Presented by Majestic Live & True Endeavors.
