shiiit i hope to five story garage is the #1 most overlooked classic era mpls rock album imo

Pretty sure I'm going. If you do, find me and I'll buy you a beer. I'm the tall guy playing bass in the Schooner video above.

I'ma be there...*warning name drop story coming up*: Mike Watt & the Missingmen stayed at my place a few yrs ago and it turned into a long night in the kitchen talking about underrated old school Mpls bands and Watt (who was in the bathroom off my kitchen) comes bursting out the door yelling "MAN SIZED ACTION!!" You kind of had to be there but I think you can also probably picture it.

HAHA, yes I can!

I think I missed the last Man Sized show but I saw the Entry gig ten (or more) yrs back during the holidays when Brian Paulson played with them, I seem to recall he had arrived striaght from the airport to get onstage with them (or maybe that's just how I want to remember it) and it was a great show on a perfect, snowy Mpls night.

I cracked a Man Sized Action joke in front a packed First Ave crowd at Replacements "tribute" thing, didn't get very many laughs.

yeah i went to that show in the entry

i hope rifle sport gets together for one more show

I was at that entry show too. 2000, doesn't seem that long ago.

i'm woefully unfamiliar with most of this music (despite billy batson being a dude i ended up spending a whole bunch of time with one summer, before i had even moved to the TCs permanently) (weirdly enough) but i think i might hit this?

The Mighty Mofos are the best live band in Mpls, now and forever, Man Sized are great, the Eagles Club is a fun place to see a show, this will be awesome

Also, it was 2000? Christ...

Unless they did another one since then.

you're right about the eagles, i saw the final skoal kodiak show there and it was a pretty wild vibe.

man i'd love to see the mofos do their Who set one more time

I saw an acoustic Mofos open for a Derogatis book reading once, heh-heh

Lord forgive me as I am about to spam, but tomorrow night (1/04) at the Triple Rock

The Blind Shake
STNNNG
Wild!!Wing

9 Pm 8 bucks 18+

It's going to be warm tomorrow! Like 20 degrees maybe!

Also that Mofos/Man-Sized show was great

i showed up way late to that! just at the end of the mofos set. must have missed everyone i might have known, felt a little... young being there (no knock on anyone)

what was up with the weird holiday karaoke band going on in the other banquet room? my guess was, office party?

Hah, didn't drop over to the other side. Silverteens set was HUGE fun! I wish their cover of The Bongos' "Glow In The Dark" was on youtube.

Wife's stomach flu hexed me being able to go :(

Wow, this thread hasn't been updated since the last Man Sized Action reunion, and now it's happening again:

https://www.facebook.com/events/392183677612151/?ref=6&ref_notif_type=plan_user_invited

ok gotta go to that

i saw that their album got issued on CD for the first time (five story garage that is)

arcwelder > replacements

who are the silverteens?

any totes pwning MPLS shows next week when I am back visiting

Silverteens is Mark Engebretson from Whole Lotta Loves, Tippy from Man Sized, and some other scene stalwarts from that era. I posted a video above, kinda Fleshtones-like garage rock covers. I thought they were totes fun last year.

Silverteens are a lot of fun. I probably won't make it to this show, but maybe.

Basically the only stage banter at all from when I saw Slint earlier this yr:

"Last time we were here we played the Uptown...Man-Sized Action!"

gbx - start your week off right:

ooh yes

must get drinks with gbx

my brass band is throwing a New Orleans night at the Parkway Theater next month. i'm very much looking forward to playing somewhere other than the Nomad (nothing against the Nomad, i love the Nomad, but it's been years since we've played anywhere else. before that it was the Cabooze and that defunct jazz club whose name i can't remember.).

Artist Quarter? (RIP)

the Times!

oh yeah that place was cool. they actually didn't seem to do that many shows for being a "jazz club" except their jazz breakfast that was kinda Sweeney Sisters type stuff but it was a nice place to hang

it's some bad "asian fusion" place now hail progress

that place sucks

oh man it sure does

ginger hop is the name, just thought of it

is anyone going to the solar motel band show?

I think I might head there solo mio

I was gonna go but bounced a fukkin check so I can't, will be godlike show

American Cream was LOUD and v v good imo

also apparently my friend Jac played in the Ventures Cover Band but I only caught him loading out

I saw a bald dude but I didn't say hi, bullet dodged

also Jac said that the meat puppets played the entry recently and i just got tinnitus thinking about it

Xpost lol

/!\ LIVE UPDATE: THIS RULES /!\

it's a television cover they are basically trolling rn but guys, dang

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

BTW Terry Katzman the guy behind early Huskers has just issued find story garage on CD, first digital release of it, w 9 unreleased bonus tracks
