Live Tracks & Dying Modems
So last Friday after work, prior to posting the Song of Zarathustra reunion I spent a good hour on the phone with Qwest trouble shooting some connectivity problems. By bill is paid up as always and the PC recognizes the modem, it's just that the modem is 5 years old and probably on it's way out.
Last night I was itching to get some stuff posted but didn't want to get carried away with full sets until said modem issues are resolved. I'm very happy with my selections:
Buildings - "Misshaped Head" Live at The Turf Club
This is from the 3/12 show with Young Widows. I have some how been missing out on Buildings. No longer I say! I love this band. If you live in town you should check them out and stop missing out like I was.
Sorry OK - "I Need To See Somebody" Live at The Nomad
3/23 show with The Chickadee Mountain Martyrs and some nice fellows from Illinois (Rob Jacobs & Dr. Responsible). This one is for West Bank Bobby. He can finally rest now. I've been wanting to record Sorry OK at a legitimate venue for a while now (no offense Fecal Manor!). These are good folks making music that is good for you. They will be leaving town in the Spring for a large tour of the Eastern States so keep an eye on their calendar if that interests you.

Someone Said This Week Will Be a Good Week
I'm sure, actually, I know that there's other amazing shows to check out this week but here's what I'm catching...
Tuesday the 16th:
The Appleseed Cast stop into The Triple Rock to play "Low Level Owl Volumes 1 & 2" in their entirety. Who in their right mind would miss this tour? Chicago's Dreamend are supporting on this tour. This Triple Rock show happens to be at 5pm.
Wednesday the 17th:
I'm looking forward to another double banger of a Wednesday. Definitely checking out Mike Gunther's happy hour set at the City Club located inside Grumpy's Downtown. This goes down from 6pm to 7:30ish. I believe this is happening 3/17, 3/24 and 3/31 if you're interested in checking it out. I'm excited to return to Nick & Eddie for Marijuana Deathsquads later that night. Thanks again to Perks for covering N&E last week.
Thursday the 18th:
The 331 Club grows on me more and more after each visit. They've got a great bill on Thursday that includes; Poor Posture, The Chickadee Mountain Martyrs, Teenage Moods and The Drug Budget.
Friday the 19th:
The Soviettes reunite at The Turf Club! Gateway District, Awesome Snakes (Last Show!) and That's Incredible support. If you're across the River Friday night I would highly recommend checking out the Anti-Civ Records Showcase at Memory Lanes which includes sets from; Bouncer Fighter, Zombie Season, Sorry OK, Ogre Smash Death Boom and Hangun Man.
Saturday the 20th:
No Bird Sing, The Alarmists and Paragraphs at The Triple Rock!

After a string of touring obstacles (broken van, broken bones, the death of a friend) had kept Young Widows from playing their last two or three Twin Cities shows they were finally able to make it back. Buildings (Minneapolis), The Phantom Family Halo (Louisville, KY) and My Disco (Melbourne, Australia) rounded out the bill with powerful sets of their own. I was also able to record Young Widows at The Triple Rock March '08. Apologies on the lack of a set list here. Please support this tour if it's stopping anywhere near you.

I'll Sleepy When I'm Deady
Even though I haven't heard the recordings yet last night went well. Got to Grumpy's at 5:30 and of course was the only person in the City Club room. I was joined by my pal Todd as I was getting set up. A young lady who likes me for some reason also came down. Mike rocked a trio and I thought it was a great set. I'm glad I went and look forward to checking out the tape. You should check this out next Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30. The wings are delicious! What up Luc. Made it back to the apartment for a short bit before catching the train to The Triple Rock for Alpha Consumer and Communist Daughter. I'm sorry if you missed out but we're talking two of the best rock bands in town on the same bill here. I got word that Perks was being treated well at Nick & Eddie so thank you to MDS for being so kind to the taping folk for the past month and a half. See you next week. I was about to catch up with Perks but two cab fares in one night is silly and it sounded like both shows were ending around the same time. Who else digs the new 8pm doors at The Triple Rock? Note that some shows still have 9pm and 10pm doors.
Tonight it's the second week of the Bitch N' Brown Miniseries at The Nomad w/ Truck Stops Across America, InBOIL and Kicks & Spurs. Unfortunately I missed the first week but my cyborg clone is not finished yet. Sounds like a closer but it's rare that I look forward to seeing all 4 bands on a 4 band bill. Is Country Rock or Country Punk the preferred nomenclature?
The backlog is growing but in 5 year that may not be such a bad thing, eh?

Wednesday With the Triple Threat
Last week I got word that Mike Gunther is doing the Wednesday happy hour residency this month at the City Club room inside of Grumpy's Downtown. I found out in the morning and there was no time to run to the apartment for gear...so I made sure I came prepared today. Happy hour til 7pm including 10 wings for $3.50! Done deal. Music starts at 6 and goes until around 7:30. I was able to catch the last week of Jim & The French Vanilla's residency which included a set by The Blind Shake last month. The City Club is a nice little oasis tucked away on the edge of Downtown. See you there.
After a short run back to Longfellow it's back on the train to the West Bank. Very excited to see Alpha Consumer and Communist Daughter on the same bill at The Triple Rock. I honestly do not know much of Boats but look forward to checking them out. Thanks in advance for the stellar show everyone. From there, depending on what time it is I may try to make it to Nick & Eddie for week six of the Marijuana Deathsquads residency. Much respect to my Elliot Park associate and good friend Perks for covering MDS tonight. I greatly appreciate it, Perks! If all goes well at N&E then Sean and Aaron from Moonstone and Travis Bos (Song of Zarathustra, Chariots & Chibalo) will be joining MDS this week.

Bouncer Fighter is one of the best bands in Minneapolis. Bouncer Fighter is one of the best bands in the region no doubt. You might consider picking up the debut album. Even though I have a copy of the album sitting beside me I'm too lazy to match up song titles right now. Since Caleb is in between computers at the moment we'll get you the set list later. Tom Waits and Daniel Johnston covers are included. I have listened to this a number of times and I'm not so sure a recording at The Hexagon can sound much better. It's definitely one of my favorite recordings of the year. Hawks & Oxen and Children Of Euler opened the evening. Long live The Hexagon.

Bouncer Fighter is one of the best bands in Minneapolis. Bouncer Fighter is one of the best bands in the region no doubt. You might consider picking up the debut album. Even though I have a copy of the album sitting beside me I'm too lazy to match up song titles right now. Since Caleb is in between computers at the moment we'll get you the set list later. Tom Waits and Daniel Johnston covers are included. I have listened to this a number of times and I'm not so sure a recording at The Hexagon can sound much better. It's definitely one of my favorite recordings of the year. Hawks & Oxen and Children Of Euler opened the evening. Long live The Hexagon.

Northeast Minneapolis and afghani pizza
Will Marijuana Deathsquads At Nick and Eddie (V) get posted before I get to sleep? It's possible. Will it be posted next? Yes.
Friday night at The Hexagon was a grand ole gathering of friends. Sleeping in the Aviary, Military Special, Icarus Himself and Alpha Centauri kept things lively. Saturday night it was a privilege to record Lookbook, City on the Make, The Pines, Peter Wolf Crier, Jeremy Messersmith and Romantica in the Mainroom as part of Vita.MN's SXSW send off. After the Mainroom Ray and I rolled over to The 331 in his cadi to catch Gospel Gossip, Dante & The Lobster and Magic Castles.
Did I mention that the afghani pizza at the Crescent Moon Bakery is amazing?
