Rolling Totes PWNING Awesome Shows in Twin Cities Thread!

yeah it's sort of strange in that almost everyone knows each other in "real life"

foundation is a really nice place, and it sounds great.

yeah i'm so skittish about putting down big $$ on hip hop shows though, my friends were just complaining abt. paying $25 at escape ultra lounge to see 3 hrs of local rap dudes then 30 minutes of Clipse (who didn't even go on until 1:30)

whole music club, old school art rock like WOAH

FUUUUCK I think i'm going to be out of town for this...but you don't have to be! there's still hope for you...fucking todd rittman from Maple, ug this is gonna be great...ONLY $5!!!!

Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio with special guests: Fog
Written in 1977, "Guitar Trio" is Rhys Chatham's signature composition, and with good reason. The word "seminal" was invented to describe it. With a single, repeated chord, Chatham permanently altered the DNA of rock by splicing the gritty, overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the elemental fury of The Ramones. The amalgamation was inspired. It energized the downtown New York scene throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, and made Chatham a founding father of the notorious No Wave movement. The influence of "Guitar Trio" spread even farther as former students and ensemble members carried its shimmering swagger into the rock mainstream. When Sonic Youth are inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame (in, yes, Cleveland -- and you know it's gonna happen), listen for some G3. It's there.

In 2007 Chatham returns (he expatriated to Paris in 1987) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Guitar Trio" by performing it on tour throughout the US and Canada. And we don't mean it's on the set list; it is the set list. These will be no ordinary concerts, and the ensemble -- pumped up to a formidable six guitars at most shows -- will be no ordinary ensemble. Chatham will lead a band of all-stars at the Whole. The concerts will also feature the original visual projections created for the piece in 1977 by famed visual artist and feature-film director Robert Longo.

Together, Rhys Chatham and company will demonstrate to a new generation of fans the amazing feats that can be accomplished with one chord, six guitars, a rollicking rhythm section and amplifiers set to "Liquefy." The show will also be recorded, to be released on a G3-only CD. The title? It's obvious: Guitar Trio Is My Life.

Rhys will perform with:
Guitar: Erik Fratzke, (HAPPY APPLE, ZEBULON PIKE)
Guitar: Andrew Broder, (FOG)
Guitar: Todd Rittman, (US MAPLE)
Guitar: Ben Vida, (BIRDSHOW, TOWN AND COUNTRY)
Guitar: Rob Lowe, (90 DAY MEN, LICHENS)
Guitar: DAVID DANIELL (JONATHAN KANE, SAN AGUSTIN)
Bass: Greg Norton, (ex-HUSKER DÜ, GANGFONT FEATURING INTERLOPER)
Drums: Tim Glenn, (FOG, BATLORD)

A new, slim, trim, and vigorous Fog opens the show.

Get here early to see this once-in-a-lifetime event!

Sorry I missed your show Jordan

woah this is like the Internet in HD

i went to vamp handz on sunday night at the entry cuz the drummer in the band i'm in is playing with to kill a petty bourgeoise now too and i hadn't seen him yet...

heatdeth -- yet another andrew broder project -- opened up, they were pretty good, formless noise like cluster or something.

hey wow, in my browser this thread has no bottom menu bar. THREAD OF MYSTERY.

How do people feel about Gay Witch Abortion? My current TC <3<3<3

for out of town peeps, i am asking about Gay Witch Abortion the band, not the political stance, which i am 100% behind.

I saw a bit of them, thought it was good...I'm pretty much pro-anything w/Shaun Walker on drums, he's great....although..i would say that more members wouldn't hurt, i'm getting a little tired of the 2 man thing.

(jon did you ever get the yoleus record? i haven't yet but i know it's out)

i just remembered that i ordered a cd from fratzke's band, like, months ago and never got it.

i played at the nomad a few weeks ago and it was totes awesome.

no, i've been really lazy w/new stuff lately, outside of emusic. also, i just got my vinyl back from the dude who had it on loan, so i've been sifting through that, which is taking up much listening time.

yeah sorry i didn't go jordan. nomad is nice. you guys seem to be doing okay in mpls though, at least enough to make it worth the trip?

jordan, i have no idea what yer bands name is.

bold

boooold

yeah, there was some good press (city pages and onion picks, and a radio thing) so we got a great crowd. also we provided free food, which never hurts.

john, this is my band.

you should try to play with dreamland faces next time you are here, could be a kinda cool mix (they don't have myspace for some reason)i'm a sucker for musical saw:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmR03OGqOsM&feature=related

dreamland faces are cool (maybe a bit schticky vocally). saw them open for jason webley @ turf, and then saw them in a basement. nice people.

That Damo Suzuki show *was* awesome, as are Faggott, though M@tt's description of them is pretty much otm.

Did that Jerry Jeff Walker at the zoo show already happen? rats.

Faggott are better to read about than see live because you only have to READ about that dude's butthole rather than SEE it.

Just kidding, I only saw his balls.

btw, the show at the Nomad is with this NYC band, sounds intrsting.

they are opening

I can bug tommy about that if you want jordan. Are you talking about the new one?

New record is great, show was fantastic. The second track (of three) on the new one is my favorite.

Hairball!

Anway, so going to this Dead Moon shit tonight.

Er I mean Pierced Arrows. Man, does a drummer change really necessitate a name change?

Apologies for sabotaging this thread.
As a Limey outsider looking in, surely the Twin Cities are a glaring omission from the Dave Grohl Circus?

Foo Fighters "Sonic Highway" documentary series on HBO

Back to thread, I recall loving that Man Sized Action"five story Garage' - mining that Bob Mould guitar sound? Maybe they did it first?

Not sure if first but certainly contemporaries

I may succumb.

significant old school mpls post punk news! (rifle sport is todd trainer of shellac's old band if you are unfamiliar)

Rifle Sport
Yesterday at 9:54am ·
One year after we recorded Voice of Reason at Blackberry Way, we went back to the studio to record a second album. It was never released and the multitrack and master tapes are long gone as far as we know. No idea what happened to them.
But Terry Katzman had a cassette of roughs and possibly final mixes, which he handed off to me last night and I'm currently digitizing.
Hoping to do some sort of release of it if it all turns out well. Some very cool and uncharacteristic Rifle Sport tunes. So far the recording sounds excellent.

More significant old school mpls news! Anyone going to this?

http://first-avenue.com/event/2015/05/longhornreunion

sounds cool!

also wasn't there a pre-Commandos, pre-Suburbs band called the X-Boys that featured Chan Poling, Osgood and some other early mpls punk/new wavers?

Tim Berne's Snakeoil at Icehouse on Monday, which hopefully I'll be able to make it to , schedules permitting

http://www.icehousempls.com/events/2015/5/11/tim-bernes-snakeoil

M@tt, actually X-Boys came after both had broken up, I believe. (Hence the "Ex" Boys I think, although they used to consume a ton of Special Export!)

It's all 60s/70s rawk covers. They used to play The Uptown regularly, and later The Eagles in Seward. And recently at a KFAI benefit at the Turf:

Coming up for the D'Angelo show this weekend. :)))

It's been a long time since I've been in the cities without a show of my own to play, so I'd love to know if there are any hot restaurants or anything I/we should check out. How's that Surly brewpub?

it's awesome

idk if this is PWNING but it's totes something

Saw them last night in a tiny club in Chicago. Between being featured on Twin Peaks and opening for Jenny Lewis, looks like they're getting bigger. Also getting more 60s garage/pop as they grow. Great live show.

Since the modern radio message board disappeared (or went underground?) it's hard to find out about local music from a source that's not some strib-affiliated bullshit. This seems okay https://swhenever.com/

doesn't have the band i'm in's upcoming show, disqualified. i miss mmr board even if i was a latecomer

Yeah I find it really hard to get info on local shows these days, esp since I'm not on FB, of course I can't really go to any shows but still

would've been neat to see skoal kodiak

They were a blast.
