Matt and Kim - First Avenue - 10/4/2023

The first thing about this is that it was called: Matt and Kim Present: The Matt and Kim Tour Feat. Matt and Kim with special Guest Pkew Pkew Pkew.

The show was in Minneapolis, where it has been a bit since I’ve been there. It was nice to get to hang out and park in this in between time before the Twins got out (they won) and the people came down for various shows and what not. We had a few beers and dinner at an Irish pub (corned beef). As the Twins game was letting out the bar got quite busy so we headed over to First Avenue. I’ve tried to go to this place twice before. Once, on the off chance I could get tickets to a show, and another, where the show was cancelled out from under me.

About 10.5 years ago Nathan and I saw Matt and Kim opening for Passion Pit at Hilton in Ames. It was was a fun show then, and this was a whole lot fo fun, even though we’re both and the upper side of our 40s. It quite a good time and after doing some experiments, we found a decent place to stand (not behind the glass, sound just go messed, not next to the men’s room) and just had a good ole time. Pkew Pkew Pkew sounded like trash behind the glass, but on the other side they put on an ok show for something I had never heard before. Good enough I added some of their music to my new things to rate list.

For the most part everything that was played during the Matt and Kim set was on my Matt and Kim playlist. Energetic showing, lots of fun had and just a excellent show over all.
