This Weekend At Hell's Kitchen.

Mike Siddall has had Late Night bookings at Hell's Kitchen on lock down since January and he's not stopping anytime soon. If you want to play the HK Late Night series drop Mike an email. This is not the same Hell's Kitchen you saw a show at in 2010 or prior. The PA system was upgraded 4 or 5 months ago. It's now one of the best sounding venues in Minneapolis. There's also new Late Night happy hour food and beverage prices. The parking garage next door to the venue is only $5 after 9pm.

Happy Hour starts at 10pm with music at 10:30pm. All of these shows are 21+ with a $5 cover.

I've been meaning to get this out there but wanted to make sure it was cool with the band. This is not tracked out but it's a really nice recording nonetheless. Please support GWA and Learning Curve Records by picking up the official releases.

Out of everything that was recorded in 2009 this set from The Deaf is certainly in my personal top 10 favorites. With 90 some shows recorded and who knows how many bands there's a lot of competition to beat out. This is something I've been really excited to get out there, it's just taken me a little over a week to do so. I'm still working on the set list but new songs were played. Seawhores, The Deaf, In Defence and Gay Witch Abortion supported The Blind Shake. Thanks to The Deaf, Learning Curve Records and The Triple Rock for allowing this fine evening of music to be documented. Support local bands, labels & venues in 2010 and every year after that. It's never been more important.

The Blind Shake are the best at what they do and everyone in Minneapolis knows they can't be stopped. Ten minutes in Learning Curve Record's online store could yield many a great stocking stuffer. Seawhores, The Deaf, In Defence and Gay Witch Abortion supported The Blind Shake. Will come back to fill in the set list. Time to move onto the next set...
