Alpine Valley was written on the back windows of buses and station wagons, telling us where they were headed, and the license plates telling us where they were from. People descended here from as far away as New York, Florida, and California just to see them.
A few months ago, one of Minneapolis’ most beloved bands announced their final tour, calling it quits after 18 years stating, “We have no idea what the future holds, but for now we are done.” Their set at the Varsity Theater gracefully spanned every album and their energy never faltered, which is impressive seeing as it was […]

Last time Alt-J was in the Twin Cities they played two sold out shows at First Avenue. Although First Ave is a phenomenal venue it seemed fair for them to play at a bigger venue in 2015. The Roy Wilkins Auditorium was packed with fans on the night of Thursday, September 17th. And it was […]

Harriet Brewing’s 4th Annual Extravaganza on Saturday was an inevitable success at the Cedar this past Saturday.

September 9th at the Myth Nightclub in Maplewood, Riley Downs and myself attended the Rise Against show with supporting acts Radkey, and Touche Amore.
