An extremely accurate and fun review of the show.
A great article from Reveillemag.com

I've been taping & torrenting shows since Jan. 2004 and a large part of that has been making an effort to put the word out on local music that I believe in. When someone from Moscow says thanks for posting the latest A Whisper in the Noise show you keep going because it's something that you really care about doing. Some of you that have grabbed past torrents may be familar with lines such as "______ is a great band from the Twin Cities..." or "______ is one of my favorite Minneapolis bands." Well, I'm going on the record. City on the Make is my favorite Minneapolis band. To be honest I didn't know who they were prior to May '06. I had been popping into the Nomad every Thursday night to tape Abzorbr's May residency. After staggering up the basement stairs my face was melted (OK, not really) by a fusion of Blues & Rock & Punk & lots of other words that people use to find tidy places to put music. Yeah, I know other people have rocked similar formats but there is something else going on here folks, trust me. Would I ever lead you astray?

I'm really not a fan of how most bands sound coming out of a murdochspace player...especially if you have crappy pc speakers like mine. So I guess in the end, the LP "In the Name of Progress" & EP "$1,000,000" both sound great pulsating through a home/car stereo but don't base your decision to download this or future shows off of a couple quick 96kbps mp3 listens.

Much respect to Stacy for making it through Law School and inviting everyone to her party. Check out her amazing concert photography here.

City on the Make are releasing their new EP $1,000,000 June 7th at the 400 Bar with Dragons Power Up and the Tender Sweaters.
