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:

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.).

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 · 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.

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?

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?

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/
