yeah i'm so skittish about putting down big $$ on hip hop shows though, my friends were just complaining abt. paying $25 at escape ultra lounge to see 3 hrs of local rap dudes then 30 minutes of Clipse (who didn't even go on until 1:30)

Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio with special guests: FogWritten in 1977, "Guitar Trio" is Rhys Chatham's signature composition, and with good reason. The word "seminal" was invented to describe it. With a single, repeated chord, Chatham permanently altered the DNA of rock by splicing the gritty, overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the elemental fury of The Ramones. The amalgamation was inspired. It energized the downtown New York scene throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, and made Chatham a founding father of the notorious No Wave movement. The influence of "Guitar Trio" spread even farther as former students and ensemble members carried its shimmering swagger into the rock mainstream. When Sonic Youth are inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame (in, yes, Cleveland -- and you know it's gonna happen), listen for some G3. It's there.
In 2007 Chatham returns (he expatriated to Paris in 1987) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Guitar Trio" by performing it on tour throughout the US and Canada. And we don't mean it's on the set list; it is the set list. These will be no ordinary concerts, and the ensemble -- pumped up to a formidable six guitars at most shows -- will be no ordinary ensemble. Chatham will lead a band of all-stars at the Whole. The concerts will also feature the original visual projections created for the piece in 1977 by famed visual artist and feature-film director Robert Longo.
Together, Rhys Chatham and company will demonstrate to a new generation of fans the amazing feats that can be accomplished with one chord, six guitars, a rollicking rhythm section and amplifiers set to "Liquefy." The show will also be recorded, to be released on a G3-only CD. The title? It's obvious: Guitar Trio Is My Life.
Rhys will perform with:Guitar: Erik Fratzke, (HAPPY APPLE, ZEBULON PIKE)Guitar: Andrew Broder, (FOG)Guitar: Todd Rittman, (US MAPLE)Guitar: Ben Vida, (BIRDSHOW, TOWN AND COUNTRY)Guitar: Rob Lowe, (90 DAY MEN, LICHENS)Guitar: DAVID DANIELL (JONATHAN KANE, SAN AGUSTIN)Bass: Greg Norton, (ex-HUSKER DÜ, GANGFONT FEATURING INTERLOPER)Drums: Tim Glenn, (FOG, BATLORD)
A new, slim, trim, and vigorous Fog opens the show.
Get here early to see this once-in-a-lifetime event!
Coffman Memorial Union, The Whole.Feb 10: 9pm - 11:30pm.Free for U of M Students/Staff/Faculty, $5.00 for general public.

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

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:
