Lots of random concert news this morning:
**Stone Temple Pilots will mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album "Core" with a late-summer and fall tour that lands Sept. 7 at Myth nightclub in Maplewood. Check the band's site for ticket info, not yet announced. Myth is definitely an improvement on Roy Wilkins Auditorium, where STP played post-reunion in 2008 and 2010 (I raved for the first one; even though I still suspect the band pulled my reviewer tickets from the will-call booth over some preview jabs I took at Scott Weiland).
**Archers of Loaf will make their first trip to Minneapolis in over a decade count: They're playing two shows at the 400 Bar on Aug. 25 and 26. Tickets go on sale Friday at noon. The influential North Carolina band sounded tight and electrifying in the recent webcast from Spain's Primavera fest.
**Archers' old peers Dinosaur Jr., who have been in reunion mode longer than its original lineup was together, are going out on another trek that will stop at the Cabooze on Oct. 18. The trio's latest album, "Bet the Sky," comes out Sept. 17 via the Jagjaguwar label.
Some other newly announced shows: Leftover Salmon at First Ave on Oct. 20; Passion Pit at First Avenue on Oct. 29; Dan Deacon at the Cedar Cultural Center on Nov. 3, a rare electronic dance show for the Cedar. All shows will be on sale Friday via First Ave's outlets.
