The Live Music Archive is a FREE archive of live recordings for bands from around the world. The Archive covers several "genres" of music. I've had a hand in getting a few bands interested in participating in the project but the first local band was A Whisper in the Noise back in 2006. Themes, Charlie Parr and Trampled By Turtles all have recordings available on the Archive as well.
Most recently Roma di Luna, Kill the Vultures and City on the Make have all joined the Archive. I submitted Abzorbr and Black Blondie earlier today.
Some of the recordings currently available for download are City on the Make's May 15th set from the Varsity Theater. Both sets from Roma di Luna's August 9th appearance at Hosmer Library are available as well. My friend Dean has uploaded his capture of Roma di Luna's June 14th CD Release at the Cedar here.
Bands that are pending include: Dragons Power Up, Nomia, Ill Chemistry, Humanboy, Mouthful of Bees and Empires.
Bands I still wantto ask include: Gospel Gossip, Fat Kid Wednesdays, Ela, Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble, Eyedea & Abilities, Face Candy, Brother Ali, Happy Apple, A Night in the Box, Enemy Entropist, Iced Ink, Pretty Boy Thorson & the Fallen Angels, Sarah Johnson, Story of the Sea, The Millionth Word, Portrait of a Drowned Man (Duluth) and others TBD...
Back when I was still content with just torrenting recordings some people were kind enough to upload a couple of recordings I did for non-Twin Cities bands. Hank III's set from First Avenue June 27th 2006 can be downloaded here. Cracker's set from First Avenue on August 30th 2006 can be downloaded here.

This is the type of event that I'm glad I'm around to tape. Some dude was sitting in the Minneapolis Town Hall back in 1948 recording Lead Belly right? I wish I could've met that guy cause it's a great recording for '48. Back to present day...timeless music with a well balanced mixture of traditional folks songs and original compositions. Having seen the full band at the last handful of shows this was a rare duo performance (which is how Roma di Luna began) with Channy & Alexei playing to a crowd of 20-30 people in the basement of Hosmer Library. Hosmer is a community library located in lovely South Minneapolis, check it out. Being that it was a very intimate setting I didn't want to bust in with the standard large mic stand. Instead, I brought a mini-stand that I bought for on stage taping of instrumental performances. The mics were centered about 2' in front of them and about 4' off the ground. I'm extremely happy with the recording but it was understandably quiet to start with. I resisted the urge to crank the gain pots on the UA-5 because I knew the noise floor would be evident at some point. I wanted to bring up the levels without using compression so with the peak being at -7.4dB I first added 7dB gain. It still wasn't as full as I wanted it to be so I went back to the raw recording for another attempt. This time using Bury Me, the "loudest" song played. I Normalized just under 0dB to avoid clipping or using compression. At this point I was happy with the levels but it still remains a fairly quiet recording so on playback you'll want to turn it up a bit more than you might for say an amplified "rock" show. Included are scans of the flyer & set list.
Many thanks of course to Roma di Luna for allowing the local scene to tape them in many different settings but thanks also go to Hosmer Library for hosting such events for the community to enjoy. There are only 3 more performances left in the series this season but I have my eye on the 8/23 Spaghetti Western String Co. date. I think that could be a really great recording.
"The Hosmer Music Series is a world music performance series hosted at both the Hosmer Community Library,(347 E. 36th St.) and the Minneapolis Central Library, (Pohlad Hall, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis).

It was good hangin' with my friends Dean & Karen. These sexy MBHOs are Dean's after all.
On the Roma di Luna front there are only three more shows on the books for this year so be sure to check them out if you're in the area. They will be taking a well deserved break to welcome their first born into the world, baby Casselle is due on election day. Barack Moon Casselle has a nice ring to it if you ask me.

"ck1b source: gain on V3 reduced shortly into 1st song, 2 mild clicks can be heard, one click for each channel, volume envelope was used in wavelab to even out the level some." - Steve
The clicks mentioned are VERY minor and very quick. I included track 10 for a couple of reasons...it hasn't been played much in 08 and it gives you a taste of the other source. I think the Beyer source sounds great as well and almost included both in the same torrent but decided not to. If there is demand for a torrent of the full Beyer source just let me know...I'd be happy to hook it up. I do plan on uploading each source to the Archive (on their own) at some point in time but it might not be for a while.

Kill the Vultures have a number of fine releases out there and all are highly recommended. They've also been working on a new album so keep an eye out for that. Word was they were going to play one new song at this show but it must have been scrapped from the set list.
Oddjobs was a hip hop group formed around 1998 by Minneapolis MCs Advizer (Adam Waytz) and Crescent Moon (Alexei Casselle) and St. Paul producers/DJs Anatomy (Stephen Lewis) and Deetalx (Devon Callahan). Another MC, Nomi (Mario Demira) joined in 2001. Oddjobs split in 2005 but reformed as Kill the Vultures, minus DJ Deetalx. Advizer and Nomi are also not currently playing with Kill the Vultures. Nomi is making music as Power Struggle out in the Bay Area and Adam is in Chicago going to school.

I had been looking forward to this show since finding out about it sometime in May. I first stumbled across a listing for Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble on the Triple Rock calendar. That alone was enough for me to add it to my calendar...then a couple weeks later I saw that Mel Gibson & the Pants had been added to the bill. OK then, so two of my favorite local bands are playing the same show at my favorite venue...I'm there. Then sometime in early June I was scrolling down the listings at the Triple Rock's site and noticed that CITY ON THE MAKE had been added to the show. Now, it's common that one or more bands that I like or at least appreciate end up playing the same show together but it's rather rare that a bill this solid (IMHO) comes along. Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble ended up playing first per their call, MG&TP second and City on the Make threw down at the end of the night.

I had been looking forward to this show since finding out about it sometime in May. I first stumbled across a listing for Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble on the Triple Rock calendar. That alone was enough for me to add it to my calendar...then a couple weeks later I saw that Mel Gibson & the Pants had been added to the bill. OK then, so two of my favorite local bands are playing the same show at my favorite venue...I'm there. Then sometime in early June I was scrolling down the listings at the Triple Rock's site and noticed that CITY ON THE MAKE had been added to the show. Now, it's common that one or more bands that I like or at least appreciate end up playing the same show together but it's rather rare that a bill this solid (IMHO) comes along. Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble ended up playing first per their call, MG&TP second and City on the Make threw down at the end of the night.

Well what can I say, more stellar indie rock from Minneapolis. You may know some of these fellas from the bands Houston, Manplanet, Align and Harp & Finial.
This was the Threadbare reunion show. Threadbare's first show in 10 years in honor bassist Dustin Perry's sister Stephanie Perry. Stephanie lost her battle with cancer in 2006. All proceeds from this show went to the Stephanie Perry Scholarship fund.

I chose to spend my 7/7/7 at the Triple Rock (surprised?). Much of that decision had to do with wanting to tape an indie rock band that everyone had been talking and writing about. Many others spent the night at one or more of the other 6 venues participating in 7/7/7. These venues included the Hexagon Bar, the Uptown Bar, the Nomad World Pub, Memory Lanes, the Turf Club and Big V's (2 St. Paul venues).

Freestyle meets free jazz and now that I have permission to release whatever I want it's time to kick out the jams. Face Candy shows are always an experience because you never know who's going to be on stage or what you're going to get. I thought about doing a two disc compilation with the best tracks from six or so shows but realized people would probably prefer full sets. Since we're talking improv all of the song titles are made up.
In 2006 Rhymesayers released Face Candy's first and only album "This Is Where We Were." It's a live album comprised of recordings made during an 8 date Midwest tour. The line up for the album included Eyedea (vocals), Mazta I (vocals), Kristoff Krane (vocals), Carnage (vocals), JT Bates (drums) and Casey O' Brien (bass). Face Candy have since continued playing shows in MN/WI as a trio featuring Eyedea, Casey and JT. With that said, Chris has always been a member and he's joined them for at least half of if not all of the set at 95% of the shows I've seen. I've also seen two shows that brought Carnage back to the fold to provide percussion in JT's absence.
Michael, Casey and JT are also in Carbon Carousel. Chris and Casey are also in Abzorbr. JT is in a dozen bands at any given time and I'd have to say he's my favorite Twin Cities drummer. Check out Carnage's solo material or anything he's done in Ill Chemistry.
The next Face Candy release is going to be a studio album culled from a non-stop 48 hour recording session that has yet to go down.

Super tight and super sick indie rock from St. Paul, MN. You need to check these guys out. This show was with City on the Make and The Tender Sweaters.
"Mike Ries, Mike Coyne, and Chris Tures started playing together in 2005 and were joined shortly after by Dan Ries.
They are currently working on their second full-length album, tentatively due to be self-released in summer of 2008. Their first album, "This Way To Gunshire..." is considered to be an underground classic; so far underground in fact, that all proof of this claim has melted, given the proximity to the center of the earth. Not any old album, but the first in a trilogy - or "thrillogy.""

...and with that a short break.
I'm actually looking forward to laying low until the 27th but unfortunately these two shows are on the same night. I've been meaning to hit some shows at Eclipse since they started booking again but Dosh has been on the calendar for a long time. Might try cabbing it to First Avenue but would have to leave immediately after City on the Make...pretty bummed since I really like all 3 bands. Living where we live this predicament happens often but I guess it's not a bad problem to have.

I hope a 14 hour turn around time isn't to long to wait. Out of a half dozen this was hands down the best City on the Make show I've seen. Granted, I can't speak for the shows in 2006 but this band only continues to get tighter and tighter. When you come out you can expect to never be bored or see the same thing twice and in my opinion that's going to keep the people coming out. Thank you to the 400 Bar for being cool with the recording of this show and to Ron for the stellar mix. All 3 sets sounded great. Be sure to check out Dragons Power Up and The Tender Sweaters as well.

A reseed request was made by someone who actively posts many popular torrents on TTD. I've checked out several of them myself so of course I was happy to fill the request. I always really enjoyed this recording so it will be fun to get it out to a new wave of people, especially since new Dresden Dolls sets have been recently circulated.
Other than minor tweaks to the format of the .txt file this is the same exact file set that I originally seeded on 10-26-06.

Carl Atiya Swanson's review on How Was The Show.
Andrea Myers's review at backstage.reveillemag.com
What a great great show. Amazing set, closing with the Survivor cover blew me away...there was an insane amount of energy in the room. I encourage you to purchase SWSC's and FKW's discs if you ever run across them.
Thanks to all of the bands and to the Cedar for being cool with taping. This show was also taped by my friend Dean Lambrecht (AKG C 414b). Thanks for letting me fly the HOs Dean!

List of torrents Part II...
Registration at The Traders' Den is free. As with signing up to any other message board it takes 30 seconds but this one has lots of hot live recordings (which are also free). What's with torrent's? You download the .torrent file at the bottom of a post to you computer and open it in a "torrent client." After torrenting for 5 years (yeah I'm kind of a dork like that) I'm sticking with utorrent because it's great.
The post here covers November 2004 to December 2007.

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.

Gospel Gossip are from Northfield, MN, 45 minutes south of the Twin Cities. I dig them a lot and you should check them out. They are a young band that have been around since sometime in '07 as far as I know...I plan on taping them more this summer.
This set was part of the "City Pages Best of the Twin Cities 08 Celebration" which also featured sets from Romantica, The Alarmists and the mighty Doomtree. Here's to no cover. Thanks City Pages! Tracks 1 & 5 can be found on their debut LP "Sing into My Mouth." The rest of the set is comprised of unreleased material. Great songs. Track 6 clocks in at an epic 12+ minutes. Hopefully it's tracked properly.
"Sing into My Mouth" was released by Guilt Ridden Pop, home to a host of talented Twin Cities bands including; Malachi Constant (RIP, kinda), Mark Mallman, Superhopper, Volante, Maps Of Norway, Baby Guts and many others.
Sound at the legendary First Avenue never disappoints and it's always a real treat to tape there. Much respect to them for being cool with the documentation of the great shows that get booked (www.first-avenue.com).

"Sing into My Mouth" was released by Guilt Ridden Pop, home to a host of talented Twin Cities bands including; Malachi Constant (RIP, kinda), Mark Mallman, Superhopper, Volante, Maps Of Norway, Baby Guts and many others.
Sound at the legendary First Avenue never disappoints and it's always a real treat to tape there. Much respect to them for being cool with the documentation of the great shows that get booked (www.first-avenue.com).

"City Pages Best of the Twin Cities Celebration"
Good time at First Avenue last night. Taped all 4 bands. I'm going to try and get the full Gospel Gossip set out soon. I cannot circulate any unreleased Doomtree so I was thinking of also torrenting a compilation that would feature tracks from the Doomtree set that have already been released as well as tracks from the other sets.

This was the after party for Louis N. Lapierre's art show opening (555 Studios on 39th and Minnehaha for the next month). A five band bill that was running late resulted in short sets but it was still a great show. Face Candy (also featuring Chris & Casey) and City on the Make played later in the evening. I love the Hexagon but let it be noted that it's a chatty neighborhood joint from back in the day. No cover also means a lot of traffic but the music is full enough to mask much of the chattiness.

Many thanks to Dark Meat & Bernard for being cool with taping. I think it's going to pay off for them in the end because these shows and their energy need to be documented for others to hear, be it now or 20 years from now. This is a listing of the band members however; I believe only 12 of them are on tour. This information also denotes more of what they contributed on the album but should be pretty faithful to the live show as well. I can't say for fact who did what in Minneapolis but it was amazing. I had serious doubts about what they would be able to pull off in a small venue (with a TINY stage) like the Nomad but doubts were quickly laid to rest. They sounded better than a lot of the 4 piece rock bands I've seen at the Nomad and this is likely due to their sound engineer Bernard. Bernard is known to some as One Man Machine. He has short opening set prior to Dark Meat coming on. Check out his album "Get My Sound."

L'Orchidee D'Hawai are from Chambéry, Rhône-Alpes France. They are currently on tour with Angelo Spencer and his wife Kimya Dawson. What an amazing set this was, I highly recommend you catch the rest of the tour if possible! All 3 sets were great and really well received here in Minneapolis. Go on and treat yourself to a stellar fusion of European surf rock featuring songs in English, Polish and Italian. Many thanks to Piotr for his help with the set list. Several of these songs appear on L'Orchidee D'Hawai's latest album "Nobody Beats Me" while some are available on their first album "Gold." This set also features some unreleased songs as well.

Triple Rock > Bedlam > Triple Rock
I had been excited to tape Fuck Buttons for a long time. Met up with my bud and fellow taper, Guy at the Triple Rock. I've heard great things about Caribou's live show so we were looking forward to making some sweet tapes. We were both clamped to the same stand when Fuck Buttons merch guy came up and very politely told us that per their management he was not to allow anyone to record any of the shows on this tour. He was very cool about it, explaining that they were playing songs the label had not heard yet and their management wanted to prevent the songs from leaking. I suppose we could have given the old "we'll give the band copies and then just keep the recordings to ourselves" argument but I wasn't in the mood to go there.
Knowing that Caribou was covered my original plan was to tape FB and then head to the Bedlam Theatre to tape Mel Gibson & the Pants. I stayed and checked out most of FB's set but because I was already all packed up and ready to go I ducked out before they finished. Short story short I made a really nice recording of MG&TP then headed back to the Triple Rock in time to catch the last 2-3 Caribou songs. They sounded very tight and it's a good thing Guy was rolling on them.
I ran into one of the Fuck buttons guys and just mentioned that "it's a bummer we couldn't record your set but we fully understand the label concerns so no worries at all." He was a bit confused so I just explained that we were asked to to record per the management. He had verified that it was due to the two new songs that were in the set and was a bit apologetic about the whole deal. "Just as long as you don't think we're assholes." I assured him that wasn't the case at all and thanked him for coming through.

Over the course of 18 years they have been there for a lot of people. This band deserves your support.
Here's to the tough guy that slammed into a friend filming beside me over what he thought was an abandoned beer on the drink rail. After a polite elbow to chill out I handed over the empty root beer bottle in an effort to keep him off the recording. He dropped it on the ground and proceded to text on his phone, yelling out the occasional Bro comment. Thankfully you can only hear the jackass a couple of times. FUCKING JESUIT! WE WANT NATE! ...oh man texting at shows is so cool. I wanted to ask why he felt the need to drink other peoples beverages but he wasn't around after the show. Bro, drinking strange beverages can be bad for you.

City on the Make @ The Bedlam Theatre
I heard great things from a couple of friends about City on the Make's set opening for the Black Diamond Heavies at the 400 Bar Friday night. Those who were at the Bedlam last night were treated to another set full of heart and rock by the band. They played the after-party for the second night of Idigaragua and Massgraves, two memorizing productions being put on by local theatre company A Lamb Lays With Lion. Check out both of these shows! The schedule is posted below. Even if you are not able to attend these particular productions please be sure to stop by The Bedlam Theatre and show them your support. It is a valuable establishment.
I'm going to hold off on posting a torrent of the City on the Make set until I talk to them some more. Keep an eye on their page for info on the soon to be released new EP.
The following information was taken from bedlamtheatre.org.

A LAMB LAYS WITH LION PRODUCTION
THE ENCORE PRESENTATION OF
FORT WILSON RIOT PRESENTS: IDIGARAGUA
IN REPERTORY WITH
MASSGRAVES
Directed by Jeremey Catterton
April 3-13, 2008 (Opening April 4)
Fort Wilson Riot Presents: Idigaragua premiered at the Bedlam Theatre to great critical acclaim and sold out crowds in September of 2007. Conceived by local art-rock band Fort Wilson Riot and directed by Jeremey Catterton, Idigaragua features dance, puppetry, film and live rock 'n' roll to fully visualize their concept album of the same title. A five-part epic, Idigaragua relates a magical tale of one man's lifetime, from the mundane to the fantastic. It speaks of intention, possibility, and choice, while all along accompanied by a mystical bird and its song, "Idigaragua . . . " Idigaragua was voted "Best Rock Opera" by MSP Magazine in 2007.
"Massgraves…is a lot of bodies…or the end of religion... or possibly the mourning of our weak wrecked planet, as we gift it unto our children. Massgraves is the story of how to properly put to bed everything we hold dear. It is how we say goodbye to all that was good about life and striving. The Requiem for all that we did not do, or simply the Prayer for all that we still hope to happen…which keeps us living. Massgraves is a hiphop-beat ridden vision that peers through the art of performance to tell us the story of ourselves in a city, Nosferatu on the floor in a heap, and The Egyptian Book of the Dead in our sleep," from writer/director Jeremey Catterton. Massgraves will feature live original music by Kill the Vultures.

Check this band out! Great 50 minute set opening for the Paper Chase. Be sure to support these fine fellas, especially if you live in the Twin Cities area.
Iced Ink is/are/am an instrumental surf-jazz-metal guitar - drum - bass - percussion group that are slowly emerging from the snowy bowels of Minneapolis, MN. It spawned in 1998 when Mike (guitar) abandoned all contact with outside musicians for a few years to focus on writing music he wished he was hearing more of in the Twin Cities area that couldn't necessarily be written by just "jamming".
Let's move ahead to July of 2001: Freshly transplanted to the Twin Cities from that one famous music school in Boston full of gifted wankers, VomitGod (drums) along with his wifeperson Sara T. (percussion) were lured in by shameless Iced Ink promotional bait printed on the back of Minneapolis' premier weekly alternative news source, City Pages. He contacted Mike, and 6 months later, Joe Berkman's skillful (and very audible) bass manipulations won the Iced Ink Bassist Pageant to complete the lineup. They bought a colorful bus, were driven around by their mother and manager Reuben to perform to the delight of many screaming fans, and compelled families across the world to tune in every week for a half hour of pure watery comedy and bad lip-synching.
In the spring of 2005, VomitGod and Scara moved back out East which caused Berkman and Mike to search high and low for replacement drums/percussion. Iced Ink fan and CEO of HighTide Music Doug Kasper was kind enough to refer a lovely and talented drummer to them by the name of Barry Knudson. Barry proved to be an eggsellent fit for the band and they are now playing as a boner feed power trio.
In closing, if you obtain a copy of our CD "There's A Bee In Here", "ALIVE!", and/or come out to see us live, you may find yourself wondering: "How come nobody told me weird music that people can't dance or sing to could be this totally bitchin?!!"
The answer, my friends, is ketchup.
