Patches and Gretchen
Thursday, March 11th
“Sugar Head Pie” the second release from Gretchen Selchrist’s warped pop-rock combo Patches and Gretchen, is joyously askew. Sounding vocally like an unhinged and over-caffeinated version of her famed sister, Aimee Mann, Selchrist managed to round up a who’s who of local vets to help realize her rambling and rambunctious tunes—including not one, but two ace guitarists, Terry Eason and Todd Newman.
Selchrist’s contagious cacophony should be in high gear for tonight’s CD release party at the Varsity Theater, though whether or not she sports the spooky clown makeup that is featured so prominently on her album cover remains to be seen!

Okay, I ‘ll throw it in the soup pot, but we’re not a duo, we’re just all crammed into a telephone booth with the memphis blues again.

THURSDAY MARCH 11TH
Patches and Gretchen CD Release Party
@ Varsity Theater
1308 4th St. SE.
Minneapolis
7pm / 18+ / $10
Living in the shadows of a famed sibling could be pretty overwhelming for most people. Fortunately for us, local singer/songwriter, Gretchen Seichrist (aka Aimee Mann’s sister) doesn’t let discography differences hold back her creative chops. Now on her sophomore album, Sugar Head Pie, Seichrist welcomes listeners into her dichotomized world of sound – part apple pie sweetness and part darkened poetics – to be swept away by smoky storytelling and lyrical rawness. Like a musical kaleidoscope, Patches and Gretchen’s artsy lullabies borrow elements from Bob Dylan-esque folk, blues, punk, psychedelia and Americana, soaking us in her mystic melancholy. Catch the Gretchen and co. tonight along with special guests Kevin Bowe and the Okemah Prophets, Liminal Phase (feat. Adam Levy), Dan Israel and host Magic Mike.
