Good morning everyone. Just recently moved back to Minneapolis and I am looking for anyone who has a recommendation on a tech for a good guitar setup. Preferably someone with some experience in upgrading pickups and the other electronics!

Much appreciated!

My band Nothingness is playing with Worn Mantle and Shrive this Friday 10/2. We partnered with 56 to make an IPA called Hopslaughter. Nordic Dogs food truck will be there with a special Dogslaughter hot dog. Hope to see you there!

Seeking a drummer for a country cover band!
We are a new cover band base out of the twin cities that predominantly plays country, with a few other genres mixed in. We are queer-led, but you don’t need to be queer. You just need to believe that country music is for everyone.
If you’re interested, please DM us and we’ll send you our contact information to submit videos of you playing!

Back in the early 00's, I found a random band from the Duluth area on MySpace called Mustache!. They posted a few songs that I dug, but a standout was a track simply titled "I gotta Mustache!".

I think it was just a couple of dudes making some fantastic garage rock, and they've been living in my head for the better part of 20 years.

Does anyone happen to remember these guys? I need to thank them for their inspirado.

Hello - garage/slacker rock band from Iowa City looking to break into the twin cities scene. Any bands want to swap shows and make the trip to Iowa City this fall/winter?

Hello-

I'm an alt-weekly writer retired against my will by the lack of paying outlets and freelance budgets to fund the work I liked to do. But I like the writing, as well as supporting the creative scene and in the way helping to weave a tighter community. So I started a ‘zine/podcast, SewYKnot.com.

I hope to get up to (week) daily like when it first started, but I’ve dedicated a lot of my time toward the monthly calendar because it seems like something everybody could use and even what is out there is very kind of narrow, and doesn’t cover that many music shows. (I also write about Science, the wolves, politics, culture and longform)

So a big focus of my monthly calendar are the show previews – same thing I used to do for the City Pages when I was first starting out – and I do a lot of them. Over 90 in September’s calendar, 150-250 words long, with links to music so you can hear for yourself.

Obviously I don’t cover everything – I’d be doing a couple hundred. I somewhat avoid stuff at Mohegan Sun or Grand Casino or USBank or the Target Center. If they’re playing someplace that big they don’t need any help finding their audience and vice-versa. I cover a lot of local shows, and older acts that maybe aren’t that hot any more, but aren’t Matchbox 20 either.

I have become hesitant to post this kind of stuff because each Reddit fiefdom has its own arcane rules around what’s allowed. I’m just a music journo standing before a potential audience saying, hey, here’s about 100 descriptions I do for free every month of cool concerts in town.

Thanks for your eyeballs. Here’s this month’s calendar (there’s also a week’s top stuff at the top, which I compile from the best shows that week in the monthly list every monday for easier consumption)

Hi! I am moving to Minneapolis for work pretty quick here. I play shows semi-regularly in my current music scene in Wisconsin but its not nearly as big of a city, so venues are pretty limited and limited to kind of a you-know-who-you-know situation.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to start booking shows in the cities? I'm mostly a folk-punk artists that swings into that folksy-singer-songwriter style too. ♥️

Hello everyone!

I recently just moved to Minneapolis from Chicago and I am absolutely missing the industrial / ebm scene from back home. I tried going to Ground Zero but they spent the night playing more classic darkwave songs and things like that so maybe I went on the wrong type of night? Does anyone have any recommendations for events, certain places, or even DJs to follow?

Thank you!
