The album was a bold step forward in the band's creative journey… and may have led their single "Chaos in Motion" to be spotlighted on BBC1 Radio Rock and played over a million times in 24 hours of its debut.

  Catfish and the Bottlemen at First Ave, Minneapolis (15 June 2016)
  Brit Award Winners Catfish and the Bottlemen is headlining the mainroom at First Avenue, in support of their critically acclaimed second album The Ride. The record topped …
  British band Catfish and the Bottlemen just headlined First Avenue in Minneapolis last Wednesday, June 15th.
  Opening the show, previously unannounced, was Columbus, Ohio's Worn Flints. Originally a quartet, the band is now a three piece, consisting of singer/guitarist Kenny Stiegele, bassist Steve Trabulsi, and drummer Jake Smith.
  The trio rocked hard, playing selections of their previous album Second Sun and debut record If I Stay Awake on their 40-min set.
  Singer Kenny Stiegele often reminded the audience that they were from Ohio, as if they were really proud of that fact.
  It was only a year ago when we saw the indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen (Ryan "Van" McCann; Johnny "Bondy" Bond; Benji Blakeway; "Sideshow" Bob Hall) at the smaller 7th Street Entry in February 2015 and then upgraded to Varsity Theater in June ... now that they're better known, they've packed the mainroom of over 2,000 fans... a massive difference than their first appearance of a 250-capacity venue.
  Although, Catfish and the Bottlemen released their debut album in 2014 (which reached #10 on the UK albums chart), the band actually formed seven years earlier. As McCann previously mentioned, "Thank you for selling this place out, it took us seven years to fill a place like this in England," indicating that for many years, the band struggled to find an audience.
  After relentless touring (Glastonbury, Latitude, Reading, T in the Park, etc.), England finally recognized the band and awarded them the Brit Award for British Breakthrough act on 24 February 2016.
  Now with their second album The Ride (Capitol) written and released, the band expanded their show to over an hour with new songs - with exceptions of previous hits, like 'Kathleen', played early in their set.
  Based on the terrific turnout for their shows, we're going to assume the band will be back again. The band has already announced their October ("Rocktober") tour dates ... perhaps at the last minute, they will put Minneapolis on their itinerary (perhaps October 11th?)

  Wednesday, 06/15/16, 7pm ($20/$25)
  Brit Award Winners Catfish and the Bottlemen is headlining the mainroom at First Avenue, in support of their critically acclaimed second album The Ride. The record topped the album charts in the UK at #1 on the week of its release (above Drake and Beyonce)!
  Singer/guitarist Van McCann was excited, "It's class to be number one with the new album! We're made up with that. Thank you! It's just mad and we'll be grafting all year to ensure things keep growing and these new gigs and new albums keep coming rapidly and in their droves."
  We previously caught the band in 2015, when they only had one album and wrote that the band didn't have an encore because they ran out of songs to play: "We wish we had more... we've got no encore."
  As of this writing, there is no opening band listed.

  Destination: Lollapalooza 2015
  Buzz band Catfish and the Bottlemen just sold out their entire UK Tour (which isn't until October 2015!) In some of these cases, I've met some UK fans that will fly into the US to see …
  Catfish and the Bottlemen and Circa Waves team up for an official Lollapalooza after show at the Subterranean Saturday August 1st. These fellow UK bands will also be playing Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago. The after show and all single day and 3 day passes to Lollapalooza are sold out. Only VIP tickets, StubHub/Ebay, and of course scalping if you want to go that route.
  Catfish and the Bottlemen is a mix between Jet and King of Leon but with a little more kick and flare. They already have that arena sound and it amazes me they haven't exploded yet even in the states. Circa Waves has that jangling pop sound with a little less garage sound as Catfish and brings loads of energy. I got a chance to see both these bands in Austin at this year's SXSW and they blew me away.
  If you want to see a band that's going to swing guitars and jump off walls i recommend seeing both these bands at Lollapalooza or in a city near you.
  Both bands are playing festivals all over Europe this summer!
  Catfish and the Bottlemen tour dates:

  The show started with a technical difficulty that pushed Halsey (an anagram of singer Ashley) to start six minutes late. ...
  We were lucky enough to have caught Halsey with the Kooks in 2014 and with Imagine Dragons in June 2015.
  Hot on the heels of her acclaimed Room 93 EP, Halsey will release her full-length debut album called Badlands (Astralwerks), on August 28, 2015.
  Based on digital pre-orders alone, the record landed Halsey at #1 on the alternative iTunes chart and #2 on iTunes Overall Albums Chart - and the album is not even out yet! Pre-ordering now will grant you three tracks - "New Americana," "Ghost" and "Hold Me Down".

  It's sold out week in Minneapolis! Here are some shows taking place in Minneapolis/St Paul from February 19 to February 21, 2015.

  BETH HART w/ Matt Andersen
  Thursday 02/19/15, 7:30pm ($28.50/Sold Out)
  "America's Amy Winehouse" Beth Hart will be releasing her upcoming album Better Than Home on Provogue/Mascot Label Group on 13th April 2015.
  Since winning the $100k on Star Search (beating out a young Beyonce), the singer/songwriter has been busy with albums (her sixth album Bang Bang Boom Boom came out in 2012) and collaborations (with the recent 2013 Seesaw with Joe Bonamassa ... which we wrote about their collaboration in 2011).
  While we wait for her new album, you can see her live now - which I'm assuming she'll be previewing some of those tracks on this upcoming tour.
  Opening up the sold out Minneapolis show will be New Brunswick's Matt Andersen with his eighth studio album Weightless (which came out last Record Store Day 2014).

  HOZIER w/ Asgeir
  Friday 02/20/15, 8pm ($30/Sold Out)
  Irish singer-songwriter Hozier is enjoying a sold out American tour this Winter. He's touring in support of his eponymous debut self-titled studio album, which hit #1 on the Irish chart and #2 in the US charts.
  Opening up for the entire sold out US tour will be Iceland's Ásgeir who recently just released his debut album (Icelandic language version) called Dýrð í dauðaþögn (on January 20th). From my understanding, the Icelandic version is the equivalent to the English version called In the Silence, which came out February 2014 via One Little Indian.

  British music fans should look to North Wales' Catfish and the Bottlemen, who recently won the BBC Music Awards' "Best New Act". Catfish and the Bottlemen will be releasing their debut album The Balcony domestically …
  Saturday 02/21/15, 8pm ($16/Sold Out)
  Back in December 2014, we tipped you guys off this new British sensation Catfish and the Bottlemen with their album The Balcony. It's only been a few months, but the band has exploded, well on their way of selling out their entire 2015 US tour!
  Billboard said they are the #1 "Alternative New Artist Album" and they are also on the cover of Q Magazine with the caption "Catfish And The Bottlemen Explode!"

  Minneapolis-based electronic R&B duo Pony Bwoy (Jeremy Nutzman and Hunter Morley) has recently released their sophomore album när-kə on December 9th.
  The album is said to be full of complex texture, and soul, incorporating elements of intimate late-night chill zone lullabies to shoegaze electronics. Check out their video for "ether/or " on YouTube.

  Denton, TX's Fishboy is releasing An Elephant on January 20th, 2015. Originally set at an earlier release date, but a series of delays from faulty test pressings, bad color vinyl issues, and two broken stampers, moved the date to 2015.
  Fishboy is the nickname earned by Eric Michener, who apparently swallowed a fish at the Dallas World Aquarium. Since 2001, he's been making music under the Fishboy name.

  Iowa's Hawk (not to be confused with 80s glam rockers Hawk or 80s power pop Hawks), are Julie Hawk (vocals & guitar), Matthew Harris (guitar), Chris Handsley (bass) and Sam Campbell (drums).
  Look for their album in 2015 on Veta Records. The preceding single "Hush" is available now.
