La Dispute come to Minneapolis...

La Dispute's November 2008 album "Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair" didn't find it's way to me until 6 months ago but it came at the perfect time. I've been waiting for them to hit town every since. To my knowledge this will be their first time playing Minneapolis. On the down side it's likely to be a short opening set on a 4 band bill. On the up side they'll be playing in front of Thursday crowds which I'm sure will secure them some new fans. Besides the myspace La Dispute has a blog for more information on the band. Thursday has put together an interesting tour. I've taped Young Widows twice and have heard good things about The Fall of Troy for a few years. Here's hoping Thursday's tour manager and the Varsity's new sound engineer are cool with mic stands.

All shows are Thursday w/ The Fall of Troy, La Dispute & Young Widows.
