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.
