Empty's Tapes Exclusive: NEW City on the Make!

Photo: Peter Lee

Those in attendance at Hell's Kitchen last Thursday were treated to a set of mostly new and unreleased City on the Make material. It's time for the next level and I for one am excited to hear these songs usher in summertime for the city I hold closet to my heart. But the hits don't stop there. Our friend Mischa has returned to Minneapolis after his extensive travels on the continent of Asia. Catch City on the Make next at The Nomad on Saturday June 4th with two guitarists and a bunch of new songs to keep Saturday night moving on the West Bank. Got a facespace? Thanks to Zach Boes for the mix and to MPLSSTPL for putting this show together.

More fun than a Thursday night probably should be. The Entry can be a tricky place to get a tape that's not heavy on crowd ambience but everyone was throwing down and having a good time. That's what matters. Playing it back it's actually a good Entry recording. First show with Pete. Go see this guy's chops. If not at the next City on the Make show then perhaps Military Special. If anyone can make this transition happen it's Mr. Blomgren. He's also popular with the ladies of Minneapolis. Maybe you still need to pick up a copy of the new LP "Keep This on Fire" or one of the older releases? Aaron & the Sea and History Books supported. What up to my main man Mischa Kegan.
