Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Twin Cities Thread!

so as long as bands have a member that's a respected sound engineer and producer they should be fine!

@ Burma I was stood in front on the Clint side and honestly the sound was pretty bad right there, but I didn't care.

y'all might get a kick out of this, from a fb friend's feed:

That selby tigers record is great!

Oh man the Selby Tigers! <3 Arzu.

I missed Com Truise and Mike Watt but am going to see Brute Heart perform an instrumental soundtrack to "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" at the Cedar tomorrow. (Was tempted to go see Converge at, I think, the Varsit, instead, but am feeling elderly this week.)

y

what's really good in the city 2nite

i saw that brute heart "dr. caligari" thing in the park and i didn't really like it tbh :/

Aw. I enjoyed it last night, and would like to see Brute Heart again.

That show sounded interesting but I ended up not going. I saw Brute Heart last month when they opened for Maria Minerva and liked them though, I'd see them again too.

Better on record imo

How is Elite Gymnastics live? I'm thinking about going to that tomorrow.

oh shit, where??

i mean, i'm about to look it up, but in the spirit of conversation...

oh i see

https://www.ticketfly.com/event/121129/

a little steep imo, i don't know grimes at all.

Yeah, it is a bit, but I like Grimes so for me it'd be worth going.

seeing aerosmith tonight at the varsity, stoked.

extend my best wishes to mr. tyler! it's my anniversary tonight so we're going to dinner

the show will rule incredibly btw

only other guy i know with a recent anniversary spent the night napping at a podium, so i think you are making the right call xpost

missing this because i have night class in red wing \o_o/ pretty bummed

jandek in mankato was fantastic btw

oh man i'm just killing myself for not going to that esp cuz the ppl i would have ridden down with ended up kicking it w/jandek

haha oh shit i would have killed for that

i just got drunk downtown with ppl, crashed out, got up at 6, and drove home two hours to work

oh fucking hell i totally forgot abt the jandek show

i had actually forgot to buy tickets and wasn't going to go but a friend called and she snagged one for me so i drove down in spite of knowing i'd miss half the set. it was a pretty subdued show, shadowy sounding, and jandek hid behind a piano for most of it. still, it was great. some yahowa 13 grooves (idk maybe i'm a little off there) + awesome horn work + jandek doing his thing. really glad i made it.

Argh, I didn't realize Laurie Anderson was coming to the Walker! Already sold out. :(

really want to see future of the left at the triple rock, problem is that its on goddamn election night and i dont know if i will be too distracted to actually watch the show. arrrggrhhh

Actually that FOTL show is probably going to be just the distraction I need that night

this is my thought as well, but my wife seems less convinced

she may also be making accurate predictions abt my level of drinking in a tension of election/FOTL/celebration of expected election outcome combo and thinking that she doesn't want to end the night by cramming 185 pounds of dead weight into a passenger seat.

Yr wife needs to learn to party

aw shit I wish I could see aerosmith. I just left the hospital :(

Also y know no tickets and rounding tomorrow etc etc

Yikes what happened?

surgery! multiple surgeries! nb I am a med student, learning surgery.

man flavor crystals are gonna be a weird fit when they do some mellow psych shoegaze for a 20 minute song

carnage is a great live act

puppies and trains is kermit from superhoppers new thing right? i should probably go see them since ive been promising to for a couple of years now.

yes, and i believe he's also in blood, sweat, and beards which is playing the other night so either way you are covered

yeah fuck it, im going to future of the left tonight, yall should too.

fyi its a weird early show, doors at 5, looks like it will be over by 9 so they can do 241s

buh??? where

Triple rock! With Andrew Jackson jihad. Who might be headlining.

$15

damn can't do an early show

Yeah I saw it was early show, I'm probably going to still be voting when they play dammit.

Oh welll, I guess I'll just have to wait and see them at ATP.

I'll try to post set times when I get in the door for y'all.

word, thank you

Anybody been to Playing the Building, either in MPLS or elsewhere? Always been a fascinating idea to me, glad to see it's here. Wondering if it's worth 10 bones.

yeah me too, haven't really heard

It is not, in my opinion worth the 10 dollars to see the exhibit on its own. If you go during one of the performance nights/days maybe, but in my experience the charm wore off in about four minutes.

I guess it's 'pay what you want' on Thursdays. Maybe I'll go then. Give like 5 and some change.
