Not be confused with the Ohio high school mascot of the same name, Brooklyn’s Minerva Lions are quite possibly one of the best bands exploring the realm of “HoboGlam” (though they can also be said to sound more akin to psychedelic-infused folk and dream pop). The quartet has already won the likes of Nicole Atkins, with whom they collaborate and share musicians, and Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco, who remixed their track "For R.A." last year – impressive feats for a band barely two years old. The group released their debut EP "Great Strides, Priestess & Queen" last year, and returned to the studio this past May to record their first full-length album. Minerva Lions will join Jorgensen once again for a shared bill at Mercury Lounge on September 8. – Devon Antonetti
