Especially if Greg's in on bass too with his trademark "Klipp" sound.

Huskers opened this show

...with that "Fattie" track playing as they came out and plugged in. I was buying everything by them at that point, loved that EP. I can see my friend Mike in that pic.

Todd also played (drums/guitar/vox) as a member of Breaking Circus in parallel with his tenure in Rifle Sport.

not sure I knew that, their The Very Long Fuse EP is good
― CP Radio Gorgeous (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 7 October 2020 22:05 (three years ago) link
I had a youthful phase of buying anything I could find on Homestead, so I ended up with a couple of Breaking Circus records - the album and the smokers paradise EP. Couple of good tracks on both iirc, 'took a hammering' is the one song by them that is really lodged in my mind

Come across this strange little curio on D1mead0zen and thought I might share it.
This looks like it was supposed to be a Husker Du show, but Bob lost his voice, so Grant (and Greg?) went on stage with the "Hypstrz!" and did a bunch of covers, and some other songs.

NOt listened to this yet but do remember coming across the Hypstrz who I think were a Voxx label garage revival band

It's not much more than a knockabout for the most part, really, but worth a listen.

the hypstrz sharing membership with the mighty mofos
― covidsbundlertanze op. 6 (Jon not Jon), Thursday, 22 October 2020 14:56 (three years ago) link
The Hypstrz/The Mighty Mofos are the brainchild of the Batson Brothers two extremely unlikely looking dudes (like the Huskers, bigger, pro-wrestling sized[AWA style not the WWF shit]) the Hypstrz were originally a more Nuggets style garage/punk cover band who date back to the late 70s Suicide Commandos/Longhorn Bar scene, they became the Mofos (different...drummer? I think) who are essentially the same, a few more originals and have played as the Mofos or the Hypstrz ever since.
I bet I have seen them...50 times? 60? Without a doubt the best Mpls band ever. EVER.
Hypstrz had a record om Bomp! that fucking smokes
― chr1sb3singer, Thursday, 22 October 2020 15:24 (three years ago) link
The Batsons along with the Whole Lotta Loves, represent deep Northeast Mpls cred, eat dick southside with your...Lutherans and your lakes, pfft

Huskers are stone-cold St. Paul, which is why they are essentially melancholy
Replacements are southwest, Uptown/Lyn-Lake which is why they are essentially barf

Oh shit that's right! Hahaha
Also, it dawns on me when 99% of people think about "Minneapolis Music Scene" they Replacements, Prince, Suburbs, etc, but in reality the Minneapolis music scene is arguing with Billy Batson about the monitor mix and getting the stink-eye from Ernie for talking too loud in the library

(lol there was a bit in the end credits in that doc that said "'eight miles high' written by robert berry, keith emerson and carl palmer" which was a tad confusing - turns out those guys covered it as the band '3' in 1988. it's um, not a very good version)
― kites aren't fun (NickB), Tuesday, 10 November 2020 23:39 (three years ago) link
I saw that! Also, minor quibble but Twin/Tone never released any Hypstrz records.

Tbh to an outsider, the MPLS vs St Paul thing, even if it’s a bit of fun, is kinda interesting, not least in due to the back in the day flagship bands of both, and partly due to the nature of the Twin Cities
(Clearly countless instances over the years of Husker Du being subsumed under the ‘Minneapolis band’ umbrella)

A new Hüsker Dü live album, Longhorn Tonight, will be released later this year. It will feature a handful of appearances at their local home town venue according to former bassist Greg Norton.

Serious question? Are there any kit breakdowns for Grant out there on the intertubes? I really wanna know his ride cymbal choices for all studio records. There's a magic in their sound in a way that's as important to me today as they were when I was 17.

I like Warehouse a lot, but something about the mix or mastering sounds very weird coming through computer speakers, as if certain frequencies have been misplaced and the stereo balance is off-kilter.

listening through computer speakers might be the problem. The OG vinyl sounds fine. As do their other LPs, unlike the SST CDs which most have a real problem with.

https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/15817
Event: RECORD STORE DAY 2023Release Date: 4/22/2023Format: 2 x LPLabel: Reflex RecordsQuantity: 5000Release type: 'RSD First' ReleaseMORE INFO
A 2xLP set of rare, early Hüsker Dü live recordings, featuring original flyers and artwork. Drawn from the historical Hüsker Dü recording archives compiled by Terry Katzman, this double disc live set is an essential companion piece to the band's Savage Young Du Box Set. While the SYD release principally featured studio demos, the 28 tracks presented here are the aural and enchanting equivalent of a time machine that vividly thrusts the listener straight back to Husker Du's embryonic unsheathing on stage.
Side A dates to July 1979. Side B gives us a full year's evolution to July 1980, while Sides C and D land the listener in September 1980. Perhaps 120 people in total saw these three Longhorn performances. Until now, a handful at most have heard the playbacks. So, rare and fresh, it's all here: the songs, the driven performances, the small club intimacy of being in front of select friends, fans, and peers, with one fair shot at getting it right. These four sides compellingly document that you can't doubt that they did.
