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.
― chr1sb3singer, Thursday, 19 December 2013 21:47 (ten years ago) link
HAHA, yes I can!
― Glenn Miller-core (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 19 December 2013 21:50 (ten years ago) link
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.
― chr1sb3singer, Thursday, 19 December 2013 21:58 (ten years ago) link
yeah i went to that show in the entry
i hope rifle sport gets together for one more show
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 19 December 2013 23:01 (ten years ago) link
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
― chr1sb3singer, Thursday, 19 December 2013 23:19 (ten years ago) link
Also, it was 2000? Christ...
Unless they did another one since then.
― Glenn Miller-core (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 19 December 2013 23:22 (ten years ago) link
you're right about the eagles, i saw the final skoal kodiak show there and it was a pretty wild vibe.
― napgenius (goole), Thursday, 19 December 2013 23:23 (ten years ago) link
man i'd love to see the mofos do their Who set one more time
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 19 December 2013 23:36 (ten years ago) link
I saw an acoustic Mofos open for a Derogatis book reading once, heh-heh

― chr1sb3singer, Friday, 3 January 2014 16:14 (ten years ago) link

what was up with the weird holiday karaoke band going on in the other banquet room? my guess was, office party?
― napgenius (goole), Friday, 3 January 2014 16:57 (ten years ago) link
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.

any totes pwning MPLS shows next week when I am back visiting
― gbx, Monday, 10 November 2014 17:47 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Deliciously hard yet very accessible (Dan Peterson), Monday, 10 November 2014 18:01 (nine years ago) link
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!"

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.).

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

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?
― Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 11:30 (nine years ago) link

Thanks for the link u.m.s.I may succumb. I had a copy of this on tape somewhere ,thanks to the legendary Tim Adams (Ajax records), who used to post on here

significant old school mpls post punk news! (rifle sport is todd trainer of shellac's old band if you are unfamiliar)
Rifle SportYesterday at 9:54am ยท 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.
