Meet Brain Tumors, in my humble opening the greatest punk band to come out of Minneapolis in the past decade. Brain Tumors first played the 7th Street Entry on November 15th 2012 opening for some band from the UK. Federal agents confiscated that recording at bar close so all that remains from that evening are individual memories and hearsay. This evening was in support of the Total Trash tape release and a tour kick off for both bands. The Miami Dolphins and Ugly Motors also played. 

They just got back from tour so I can't encourage you to check out the show in your town but perhaps I can encourage you to spend 16 minutes reading their tour diary while you listen to this recording? They say that attempting to record a Brain Tumors set is suicide for expensive electronics. I say some things are worth the risk to document.

If you're interested in purchasing music from Brain Tumors or booking a show they can be contacted at this email.

I ventured out into a minus 25 degree wind chill to tape this show but I'm glad I did. I also made an honest attempt at the set list. After the Arrivals set I raised the mics a foot or less to get above the chatting a little more. This ended up being a good move.

Naked Raygun came to play a two night stand at the Triple Rock in I believe it was 2006. They played an All Ages show one night and a 21+ the next. This time around they were in town to help the Triple Rock celebrate their 10th Anniversary. The Framed (Minneapolis) and The Arrivals (Chicago) opened the show.

Naked Raygun are one of a kind and I encourage you to support them by purchasing their official releases. I'm sure many people already have.
