There are certain bands that don’t simply survive an era, they help define it.

On Wednesday, September 16th, I’m incredibly stoked to join @thecharlatans and Minneapolis’ own @twoharborsmusic at the @finelinempls for what should be a brilliant night celebrating the past, present and enduring influence of British pop.

Emerging from the explosion of British music at the dawn of the ’90s, The Charlatans quickly established themselves as much more than another band associated with the ‘Madchester’ movement. Their 1990 debut “Some Friendly”went straight to #1 in the UK, propelled by the unmistakable Hammond-organ swirl and groove of “The Only One I Know.”

On a personal note, The Charlatans were actually the very first band I ever saw live at First Avenue back in April of 1992. Needless to say, this West Midlands band has held a very special place in my heart ever since.

It was also a real pleasure to interview The Charlatans’ lyricist and vocalist Tim Burgess a few years back at the Electric Fetus for the release of his great book “The Listening Party.” Having the chance to sit down and talk music with someone whose band has meant so much to me over the years made that a particularly memorable experience.

And more than 30 years later, The Charlatans remain a living link between psychedelia, post-punk, indie dance and the great tradition of British guitar pop. Now touring behind their excellent 14th studio album “We Are Love” they’re still very much adding to that legacy.

And there couldn’t be a more fitting local band to join them than Two Harbors.

One of the Twin Cities’ great torchbearers for British-inspired guitar music, Two Harbors have taken that obsession all the way to London’s Abbey Road Studios where both 2014’s “The Natural Order of Things” and their 2025 comeback album “Can’t Shake This Dream” were mastered by Frank Arkwright.

I’ll be kicking things off right at 7pm, setting the tone with a specially curated set of British pop music videos through the decades tracing the sounds, scenes and artists that ultimately led us to The Charlatans.

This one is going to be extra special. 🇬🇧

Written in grief, anger, and hope.

Mary Strand’s powerful new single, “Annunciation,” responds to the tragedy that shook Minneapolis one year ago—and calls on us to do more to protect our children.

Out this Friday, August 28, on Hygh Tension Records/Virgin Music Group.#indierockmusic #garagerock #punkgirl
