Everyone in Minneapolis loves the Current! If you are a frequenter of shows at First Avenue then chances are the band you are seeing played on the current. Or in some cases, you are seeing the band because you first heard their jams on the Current.
What is the Current you ask?
Well, it is Minnesota Public Radio's music station. It is listener supported so there are no commercials, absolutely no one works for Clear Channel, and despite a little favorite-ism (for the most part) the DJs pick the music they play. There is no annoying "Bob and Tom" or "Tom Bernard" morning shows, the DJs in the morning simply play music. All in all it is a great station - I love it!
2010 marks their fifth birthday of being a radio station. First Avenue tickets go on sale Wednesday for the January 29th show. If you are not a member of Minnesota Public Radio and unable to buy First Avenue tickets in the MPR member presale then you must buy your First Avenue tickets as soon as possible. With a line up like this First Avenue tickets are not going to last long. Confirmed acts are as follows: Solid Gold, P.O.S, Mason Jennings, Lookbook, and Twilight Hours. All are local acts and all have a great local following!
It's kind of like the Current's response to KDWB's Jingle Ball, no?!
See you at the show!!
