Solid Gold Announce Headlining First Ave. Mainroom Show

First Avenue and bound for a national breakthrough electro-pop trio Solid Gold have announced a mainroom show which will take place on Friday, May 15th. No doubt the show represents the culmination of a successful year for Solid Gold, as 2008 saw the release of their excellent Bodies of Water, dates at SXSW, and an earlier stop at First Ave. opening up for Tapes N Tapes. But now, Solid Gold be headliners. DJ Real Jaguar will open the 18+ show.
