The Absent Arch CD Release Show *TONIGHT*

I’m not gonna beat around the bush… The Absent Arch are THE BEST young up and coming new bands in the Twin Cities and their debut album ‘Keep Calm And Carry On’ is one of the best local releases of the year. The Absent Arch write...

The Rosebuds + Megafaun @ The Turf w/ Video

The Rosebuds played to a small, intimate group of fans at the Turf Club Sunday night. The small crowd size was probably a combination of The Hold Steady playing First Ave and the fact that it was Sunday night in Saint Paul. No matter, The Rosebuds killed...

Danielson @ Triple Rock

Christian psychedelic music is almost comparable to a jewish pig farmer. With members of the openers Cryptacize doubling as members of the band, Danielson handclapped and finger snapped their ways into everyone’s hearts. Their catalog consisted of mostly...

Girl Talk @ First Avenue

Photo by Bao Nguyen Interview by Chase Turner I got to sit down with Greg Gillis aka Girl Talk before his sold out show at First Avenue on Monday. When I got on the tour bus he was saran wrapping his laptop in preparation for the show. There were vitamin...

TV On The Radio @ First Avenue

The Dirtbombs and TV on the Radio played to a sizable all-ages crowd Tuesday night at First Avenue. I haven’t been to an all-ages show in years, it’s a bizarre experience. The only open bars are upstairs, where one feels like they have done...

Broken Social Scene @ First Avenue

Chase Turner sez.. Where do I begin? Last night Broken Social Scene reminded me why I love indie rock, and why I love First Avenue. The show was nearly sold out, but the crowd was well-behaved and the sound well-mixed and loud. The band was composed of...

Liz Phair @ First Avenue

Saturday at First Avenue Liz Phair asked the audience “is anyone here actually from 1993?” The crowd response was overwhelming, because for a night a crowd of mostly middle-aged fans could feel like it actually was 1993 again. The scene at...

Vaz @ Turf Club

Vaz was a 3 guitar rebel attack of beefy Sonic Youth-esque interlocking riffs and virtuosic rock drum shredding. Vast choppy interlocking riffs with subtle time signatures shifts is the name of Vaz’s game and their show at Saint Paul’s Turf...

Cut Copy & The Presets @ Fine Line

If there’s one thing I learned last night, it’s that Minneapolis kids can get down when they want to. Last night a bunch of Aussies blew the top off the Fine Line. By the time I arrived at the venue Kordan had finished their set and The Presets...

The Top 5 Worst Calls of the 50th Annual Grammys

All things considered, when scanning the list there aren’t really too many surprises, considering that this is the same awards show that had Jethro Tull beating out Metallica and Steely Dan beating out everyone a few years back. It wasn’t out of line to figure Amy Winehouse to win a bunch of awards…and she [...]

Drive-By Truckers “Brighter Than Creation’s Dark”

On “Not Everybody Likes Us” Hank Williams III lays into modern country music, grumbling “Well I think I’d rather eat the barrel of a double-barrel loaded shotgun, than to hear that shit they call pop-country music on ninety eight point one.” To some degree such sentiments could never be thought of when considering [...]

Cat Power “Jukebox” Review

For someone who finds her music often preceded by her reputation, various stages of Chan Marshall’s second covers album Jukebox are dominated by the reputations of both those who came before her as well as those who accompany her throughout. From Sinatra to James Brown, Joni Mitchell to Billie Holiday, Jukebox is meant to [...]

The Battle Royale “Wake Up, Thunderbabe!” Review

The first release in two years from The Battle Royale combines the abundance of rock bands attempting to fuse electronic overtones into rock ‘n roll with the skill of musicians who can actually combine the two ever merging genres appropriately. The Battle Royale’s Wake Up, Thunderbabe! capitalizes on the group’s youthful fervor while scantly [...]
