Apologies for sabotaging this thread.
As a Limey outsider looking in, surely the Twin Cities are a glaring omission from the Dave Grohl Circus?

Foo Fighters "Sonic Highway" documentary series on HBO

Back to thread, I recall loving that Man Sized Action"five story Garage' - mining that Bob Mould guitar sound? Maybe they did it first?

Not sure if first but certainly contemporaries

BTW Terry Katzman the guy behind early Huskers has just issued find story garage on CD, first digital release of it, w 9 unreleased bonus tracks

significant old school mpls post punk news! (rifle sport is todd trainer of shellac's old band if you are unfamiliar)

Rifle Sport
Yesterday at 9:54am ·
One year after we recorded Voice of Reason at Blackberry Way, we went back to the studio to record a second album. It was never released and the multitrack and master tapes are long gone as far as we know. No idea what happened to them.
But Terry Katzman had a cassette of roughs and possibly final mixes, which he handed off to me last night and I'm currently digitizing.
Hoping to do some sort of release of it if it all turns out well. Some very cool and uncharacteristic Rifle Sport tunes. So far the recording sounds excellent.

sounds cool!

also wasn't there a pre-Commandos, pre-Suburbs band called the X-Boys that featured Chan Poling, Osgood and some other early mpls punk/new wavers?

Tim Berne's Snakeoil at Icehouse on Monday, which hopefully I'll be able to make it to , schedules permitting

M@tt, actually X-Boys came after both had broken up, I believe. (Hence the "Ex" Boys I think, although they used to consume a ton of Special Export!)

It's all 60s/70s rawk covers. They used to play The Uptown regularly, and later The Eagles in Seward. And recently at a KFAI benefit at the Turf:

Coming up for the D'Angelo show this weekend. :)))

It's been a long time since I've been in the cities without a show of my own to play, so I'd love to know if there are any hot restaurants or anything I/we should check out. How's that Surly brewpub?

Saw them last night in a tiny club in Chicago. Between being featured on Twin Peaks and opening for Jenny Lewis, looks like they're getting bigger. Also getting more 60s garage/pop as they grow. Great live show.

Since the modern radio message board disappeared (or went underground?) it's hard to find out about local music from a source that's not some strib-affiliated bullshit. This seems okay https://swhenever.com/

Dan I., Monday, 1 July 2019 01:22 (four years ago) link

doesn't have the band i'm in's upcoming show, disqualified. i miss mmr board even if i was a latecomer

global tetrahedron, Monday, 1 July 2019 01:34 (four years ago) link

Yeah I find it really hard to get info on local shows these days, esp since I'm not on FB, of course I can't really go to any shows but still
