This week in music in Saskatoon marks the return The New Pornographers, who last visited during the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival back in 2015. Here’s your chance to see them in an indoors-type venue away from the cheap showy-ness of nature! Catch them Thursday at O’Brians Event Centre. Other fun things on your Bafflingly Large Thursday To Do List: Dagan Harding will be taking over at the Capitol, Beth, along with local openers Grey Light District and Cloven Hand, are at Vangelis, and Tei Shi is headlining at Amigos. Whew! Also, be sure not to miss Regina’s Library Voices when they return to rock CFCR’s FM-Phasis, along with Raeburn and the mysterious Ritual Rabbits, on Friday at Amigos.
