Haunted House 'Guess Who's Not Coming To Dinner' Album Release Shows
With “Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner,” Haunted House prove they aren’t just another Minneapolis All-Star jam band. They are a formidable rock and roll unit lead fearlessly by Mike Watton. Band members and collaborators include, yet are not limited to Jon Davis (Ghostband), Adam Patterson (whitesand/badlands), Cole Claerhout (Dante & The Lobster), Martin Dosh (Andrew Bird), and Freddy Votel. (Skoal Kodiak)
They are an unrivaled, rhythm-heavy rock orchestra. A piano-heavy Pixies or maximal Modest Mouse draw comparisons but don’t nearly describe the freak fluency they share..
Here are some details about the release shows from Mike..
Capgun Coup from Omaha has been added to the October 30th Hexagon bill. Knife World was so stunned by the invite they were rendered speechless. So the line-up is, in no particular order since I’m not sure how that’s going to shake out, but this is my best guess:
Vampire Hands
Haunted House
Capgun Coup
Mute EraFREE – 21+
Full line-up for the Halloween, and I have no idea the order:
An Ali Farka tribute band
Tender Meat
Ratt Poison
Awesome Snakes
Japanther
Haunted House$5 – ALL AGES

Franklin Presents: On the Road with Dark Dark Dark
Franklin Presents: On the Road with Dark Dark Dark
Music and Closing Event
Thursday October 29, 2009 at 8pm
In the spirit of Fischer’s interest in travel and the mythological American road trip, local chamber-folk band Dark Dark Dark will give a special performance, interlaced with their stories of floating down the Mississippi river on homemade rafts, discussions of special projects (see below), and projected images of life on the road.
In the last several years, Dark Dark Dark have become known as one of Minneapolis’ most talented musical acts, while simultaneously embarking on journeys across the country to play music and participate in exhibitions and collaborative projects, exchanging stability for a life of travel and adventure on the road.
Debuting Franklin’s new program of live events, Franklin Presents, band members Nona Marie Invie, Marshall LaCount, and Jonathan Kaiser will discuss their participation in Swimming Cities, an art boat project originating in Brooklyn, an upcoming film entitled Flood in which they are the featured subjects, participation in major exhibitions (at MassMoCA and the Van AbbeMuseum, the Netherlands), and collaborations with artists SWOON, Jay Heikes, Tim Piotrowski, Tod Seelie, Christian Rex VanMinnen, and filmmaker Bill Daniel.For this closing event, Dark Dark Dark will perform amid the sculptural environment created by Fisher for Few Landmarks and No Boundaries, once more bringing the space alive with live music and stories of restlessness and adventure in celebration of the exhibition’s closing.
Opening band tête-à-tête. Suggested $5 donation.

Atlas sound and Broadcast play the Cave
Date: Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Time: 8:00 pm
Location: The Cave
Sponsored by: The Cave
This is an incredibly exciting show for the Cave.
Atlas Sound is the moniker of the unfettered, unrestricted solo efforts of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox. The name comes from the tape recorder he used in 6th grade when he started recording. He channels all the things he “can’t make work with a five piece rock band” into Atlas Sound. It’s garage rock, noise, ambient electronics, beautiful, challenging, creepy, odd, and very exciting. This is guaranteed to be a really great show.
Broadcast is a UK-based electronic music group heavily influenced by American music from the 60′s. You will get swept up in their dreamy style. But despite being ethereal, the also are dark and edgy, “with amorphous samples and analogue dissonance giving it a retro-futuristic sci-fi edge.” With five albums under their belt, and inevitably more on the way, you will not be disappointed with what Broadcast has to offer.
It is a rare and wonderful opportunity that the Cave gets such wonderful acts, and it is even more exception that they are touring together.
