King For Two Days: A Dave King Celebration @ The Walker (SOLD OUT)

GZA/GENIUS @ TRIPLE ROCK

GZA/GENIUS GZA: When it comes to thought provoking, street-bred raw lyricism, the Wu-Tang Clan’s fountain of wisdom, GZA takes his job very seriously. The way he crafts his double-edged rhyme flow mirrors the skill and precise technique of one who works with fine ceramics. GZA’s metaphoric and multi-layered lyrics are often touted by critics as his rap name implies; genius. MUJA MESSIAH:Thee Adventures Of A B-Boy D-Boy (Black Corners) The differences between mainstream and underground rap have always been a bit tenuous, as mainstream is often more political and message-based than it gets credit for, while underground hip-hop’s misogyny and regressive themes tend to get ignored. Muja Messiah shatters the implicit split between the two camps, deftly crafting a hip-hop masterpiece that combines indie’s nuance and honesty with mainstream’s swagger and charisma. Muja makes sure to differentiate himself from the area’s famed emo rap while continuing to rep his city hard (Messiah has the letters MPLS—spelled out in guns, swords, and dollar signs—tattooed on his neck). In lead single “Get Fresh,” he takes on those who are “backstabbin’ my city / like it’s all backpackin’ and hippies / like it ain’t crackin’ in my city.” With a winsome flow, Muja covers everything: cocaine deals and money-fetish materialism, progressive politics and introspective thoughts, dark reminiscences, well-spun punchlines. The album is refreshingly multifaceted, exactly the kick in the pants hip-hop needed. – AV Club -The Onion- Best of The Decade $15.00 ADVANCE TICKETS / $18.00 AT THE DOOR TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE, TRIPLE ROCK AND 5TH ELEMENT IN UPTOWN Also appearing: MUJA MESSIAH + ST.

On their way to the East Coast to open a Trans Am tour..

Nice Nice (MySpace) (of Portland, OR)
Nice Nice (Warp Records)
Nice Nice (Temporary Residence)

Formally carrying the name Nice Nice since 1999, guitarist Jason Buehler and percussionist Mark Shirazi have been playing music together for over ten years. Their intense rhythmic dialogue heard in their songs speaks volumes about the connection between the two as they layer runaway melodies and free-form noise into some of the most creative beat-based rock music you will ever hear. It’s not unrealistic to assume that you’ve never heard anything like it, as most everyone that’s ever witnessed their awe-inspiring live shows is left speechless, with nothing to compare it to. Most shocking is the fact that it’s largely improvisational and always live. No overdubs, no samples. Certainly not the first band to successfully trap virtuoso playing into loops that you can dance to, Nice Nice has definitely done so with the least amount of pretense, making it both intellectually stimulating and fun as hell to listen to. They say it, we believe it, and that settles it!

Communist Daughter, Alpha Consumer @ Triple Rock

If you’ve checked out Dosh, Andrew Bird, Fog, Fat Kid Wednesdays, Happy Apple, The James Buckley Trio, or about a dozen other local bands, chances are you’ve heard at least one member of local quasi-supergroup Alpha Consumer. Jeremy Ylvisaker and Michael Lewis have logged some serious miles this year in Andrew Bird’s backing band, and J.T. Bates is a drummer for several Twin Cities projects, but the trio’s first passion is this loud, cocksure rock band. – Jake Mohan

BAD COP, UNIVOX, DANTE & THE LOBSTER, TIPS 4 TWAT, FREE BOYS

10PM – All Ages

Dante & The Lobster

Dante & the Lobster may be just such a group – the talented psychedelic four piece could easily become a dominant force in the current trend towards all things retro and low fi.  That much becomes immediately evident after a single listen to their debut record, Wonders, a treasure trove of sunkissed 60’s pop, psychedelic distortion, and laid-back melodies. – Reviler
