Gayngs Showcase tickets

The Gayngs showcase is just a few days away! I can't believe it's already on Sunday. Last time Gayngs hit up the main room they had not one, but two shows and both were very sold out. There are very few limited First Avenue tickets left for this one. Remember the last Gayngs show where Prince showed up? Yeah, it was awesome. But you can rest assured the purple one will not show up at this one - he is rocking Cali with his jams this month.

Who all will be at this "Gayngs Afiliated Showcase?"There are quite a few (awesome) local bands: Gaygs, Doomtree, Solid Gold, Megafun, Leisure Birds, Alpha Consumer, Plain Ole Nill, Jonathan Ackerman, Slapping Purses, HAR MAR SUPERSTAR, Marijuana Deathsquads, Spyder Baybir Raw Dog, Moonstone Continuum, Albert, and Radical Cemetary. Some First Avenue tickets will be available at the door, the doors by the way open at 6:30 for this one! And the 7th Street Entry AND the main room are booked for this event.

Har Mar Superstar will be playing the entry with the Marijuana Deathsquads Sunday night. No news on set times, but if you follow First Avenue on Twitter you should have not a problem finding the information. Twitter: a great invention for set times.

See you at the show!


The one, the only, Har Mar Superstar

Middle Brother Tickets ... Album Out Today!

Long time no see! Or blog, rather. I haven't forgotten about my lovely blog - I've just been trucking away in the office, but that doesn't mean there is any shortage of awesome music happenings in MPLS.

Well, 2 weeks from yesterday marks the countdown for the concert event of the season - the Middle Brother/Deer Tick/ Dawes show taking place at First Avenue. Do you have your First Avenue ticket yet? Because I do!

Today also marks the release of the supergroup's debut album. There is a lot of excitement behind it - there are a lot of great musicians that made this happen. I have read a few reviews of the record and the first few shows of the tour and I can't wait to see it live up to the hype. Middle Brother is the headliner for each show, but Dawes and Deer Tick will take turns playing first and second. Ahh!!! So much excitement as I type this. I am so glad to be seeing one of my favorite bands at my favorite venue. I've also decided that, in honor of Deer Ticket being such Nirvana fans, I am going to bring my '91 Sliver shirt out of hiding. A gift from my uncle which I cherish dearly. I used to only wear it twice a year, in April on the anniversary of Kurt's death and in Feb on his birthday. Since the shirt (now 20 years old) has been reduced to nothing but holes I stopped wearing it even twice a year. It is an artifact indeed.

Anywho - see you at the show!


I would like to add when you search for 'middle brother band' on Google Image search you end up with a lot of pictures of Taylor Hanson.
