Blowout Jr.
It’s definitely a sign of a good show when everyone involved is still walking around in a fog four days later. The Blowout has proven itself to be one such show, and today’s City Pages seems to concur. We’re shaking it off and moving on, though. We’ve got to ensure that the Blowout Jr (Dec 16. T-Rock. 5pm. $8. 20 and under. Tickets.) is … Read More
Blowout Wrapup

Current
Yo. Catch Doomtree on the Current (89.3, streaming at mpr.org) tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 8 o’clock (CST). There will likely be less f-bombs dropped than during last night’s debacle, but it should still be pretty good.
One Week 'til the Blowout
Coming up on one week until the Blowout, and the media blitz is in full swing. We’re taking control of the airwaves multiple times this week; the FCC has no idea what they’re in for.

3 Weeks 'til the Blowout
P.O.S and Turbo‘s run with Minus the Bear has ended without incident. They were, however, left by the side of the road in northern California as soon as the tour ended this weekend. So we put the best man for the job, Cecil Otter, on a plane to go get our boys and bring them home. He’s rented a Miata, and the … Read More
Gasthof
Mictlan and Dessa are both playing rap songs at the Gasthof tomorrow night. Dessa will not–as has been reported elsewhere–be playing with One Self at the Kitty Kat Klub, although that sounds like a heckuva show too. But wait wait wait don’t go to that! Go to the Gastof! That was a funny joke! Ha ha! Go to the Gastof. Audio Tribe, Omaur Bliss, … Read More
