Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Twin Cities Thread!

bump for the good of the people

this saturday, mama digd0wn's brass band @ the nomad. we're making jambalaya and serving it up (for free) at set break!

what time are you going on?

9ish, and probably playing 3 sets

awesome. will be there.

also i promise not to talk about RE5 at your show

haha awesome.

on an unrelated note, Torche will be at the (ugh) Varsity theater on April 10th w/DREDG (?)

?! haha weird bill. the varsity isn't that bad IMO. only been there a couple times for the fall, do make say think, and when we opened for futureheads.

on a progged out flute tip: Ghost..Entry May 4th

on a street real noisepunk elders tip: Urinals (!) & Killdozer (!!) Sept 26th...Turf Club

JJ is Dredg like the new H.I.M. basically? like guitar center dude music thing?

god i hope not

the wiki says they have some prog thing going on, but its one of those misspelled names that always makes me nervous

During the L.D. 50 era, the band was famous for wearing extravagant make-up, seen in both their music videos and live concerts, and using unusual stage names such as Kud, Gurrg, RyKnow, and sPaG.[

yeah i don't know why i think this, but my gut is that they are "prog" in that sorta what if dream theater liked radiohead kinda way...but this is strictly a gut feeling.

oh man i am going to be so irritated if that is the case, really want to see Torche, but will not sit through crapnoodle for any band, i spend too much time around that shit as it is.

by the way i claim trademark on the Crapnoodle genre tag as of right now.

john a couple youtube videos seem like trouble for dredg. my gut was not quite right...now i'm thinking '80s rush but the emo/nu-metal version.

ugggggghhhhhhhh nooooooooo

a fake version of my band is going to be on KFAI in a few minutes (not me, i'm still at work)

don't listen

nice to meet you, matt. i had fun (although i was super exhausted) and i got to get my corn pancakes fix at maria's the next morning.

nice to meet you as well.

really enjoyed the set, i left after the second set to go to the turf to see the danforths CD release show...but yeah you guys definitely bring the party, really liked when you would do a big rhythmic breakdown, also the part time lover cover was cool....definitely seems like a perfect dance/party type vibe.

"feet don't fail me now" was my favorite, and also that ballad you opened with dedicated to someone's uncle or grandpa or something.

everyone is great players, i could almost do with more soloing personally

it was funny going to an early Milo Fine/Davu Seru/Paul Metzger free jazz thing then to your show I felt like I traveled the entire spectrum of jazz.

thanks. yeah, the tuba player's grandpa had passed the day before, so it was a little weird when he dedicated the song to him and everyone was like "whooo!". he didn't mention that he had died, maybe so as not to bum everyone out, but what we played ("just a closer walk with thee") was the traditional new orleans send-off.

oh jeez yeah that didn't come across at all, i don't think the crowd was trying be insensitive. sorry to hear that.

yeah, it wasn't anybody's fault and i don't think he was offended. that song was really for his/our benefit anyway.

btw i think i misspoke, in addition to the tuba player, both trombone players and that snare drummer are all local minneapolis dudes.

you are pretty much local! :)

wow i am totally awful at actually making it to this stuff, sorry jordan

HEY SO TONIGHT I WILL BE AT PAGANFEST AND YOU ALL SHOULD BE TOO

who's playing?..i was planning on going to d. rider at the turf, todd from u.s. maple's new band

considering mogwai on sunday

Korpiklaani, Primordial, Moonsorrow, Blackguard, and Swashbuckle plus some poor local metal band that will be roundly ignored.

or: Finland, Ireland, Finland, Canada, New Jersey pirate metal, unfortunate local band, if you want to look at it that way.

soul fans should be at the dakota tonight...chicago soul singer otis clay fronting the butanes!!!

here's an old soul train clip of his minor hit:

Wolves In The Throne Room w/Zebulon Pike @ the triple rock tonight for the awesome metal

also mike watt at the entry with the dude from slovenly in the band, watched a youtube today where they tore thru some minutement joints into "three chord rhumba" by wire...dudes were shredding

apparently we like to schedule all of our total PWNAGE on the same night ;_;

yeah no doubt this always happens then there are tons of nights with nothing going on

oh hey Black Moth Super Rainbow/School of Seven Bells @ the triple rock tonight. If anyone else is going I will drink a beer with U.

gastro non grata at triple rock tonight. 6 PM! $3! Meat Raffle! Beers! Rogue Chocolatier! Birthday Suits and Dreamland Faces and a bunch of other bands!

ok then

oh hey I was there, it was awesome.

so how did i manage to miss that the meat puppets played the entry this last sunday.

THIS THREAD HAS FAILED ME

oh and future of the left w/STNNNG at the turf next weds which is going to be mad dope

i think mike went to meat puppets! (remember that dude?)

The Meat Puppets played this tiny Mankato bar just after I moved away, too. Like the kinda bar that all the local whatever bands and bands that ain't shit in Mpls come and play. Would love to have seen them there.

oh hey goole if you listen to FOTL and dig them, let me know and K and I will grab a ticket for you - going to run over and get them right after i get off work tomorrow

xpost yeah apparently they are playing at the duluth pizza luce tonight? madness

Haha, awesome. I actually saw Afroman at said Mankato bar come to think of it! The end of the set, anyway. That was...a thing.

yeah i heard the meat puppets were cool, didn't go.

i would totally see FOTL but i'm gonna be in africa, sorry dudes :(

maybe The Ex will tour africa again : )?

would be so dope

very, very intrigued by the possibility of seeing music in kampala, but not sure if our schedule will allow. i actually think a film about changing musical traditions in areas recently or currently beset with conflict would be interesting. like, is there "conflict music?" are people seeking refuge in older ways or forging new shit in light of new and alarming social conditions or what?

hey now here's an idea maybe

oh hey how long are you in africa btw?

also will you do a "Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Kampala!" thread plz

yeah ok

there for three point five weeks, leaving Sunday
