Communist Daughter, Alpha Consumer @ Triple Rock

If you’ve checked out DoshAndrew BirdFogFat Kid WednesdaysHappy AppleThe 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

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

David Daniel & Douglas McCombs
(Chicago, IL – new record on Thrill Jockey
(two dudes from San Agustin/Thurston Moore/Rhys Chatham and Tortoise/Brokeback/
11th Dream Day playing some amazing instrumental guitar music)
accompanied by J.T. Bates on drums

w/ Whitesands/Badlands and Visions of Christ

David Daniell and Douglas McCombs first met in early 2006 while touring as members of Rhys Chatham’s
six-guitar Die Donnergötter band. Following that tour, the two spent several months trading albums and
discussing making music together; they began their musical collaboration when Daniell moved from New
York to Chicago later that year to study pedal steel guitar.

These humble beginnings do little to reflect the depth and breadth of each of their talents; both are
highly-respected musicians within their circles. Over the years Daniell has collaborated with many
notable musicians, including Loren Connors, Rhys Chatham, Tim Barnes, Jeph Jerman, Thurston Moore,
Greg Davis, and Jonathan Kane, as well as releasing numerous albums under his own name and with his
band San Agustin on labels such as Table of the Elements and Family Vineyard. McCombs is more often
seen wielding a bass guitar, whether as a member of Eleventh Dream Day, the acoustic collective Pullman,
or the pioneering and inimitable Tortoise; in his role as the driving force behind Brokeback; or through his
varied work with the likes of Tom Ze, Azita Youseffi, Will Oldham, Yo La Tengo, and Calexico

RED DAUGHTERS

I suggest you catch these dudes in town while you still can. They seem the type that would split to the woods for the weekend and never come back..

Regardless the  twangy, organ-heavy jams are a breath of fresh air in Minnesota where it seems the forecast is heavy on the hip-hop, 80′s synth-pop and dork-folk. Red Daughters fit the bill to catch waves on The Current but would also fit nicely in the middle of  KQRS airplay.

“Red Daughters are serving up some ballsy countrified rock-and-roll true to the Minnesota soil that bred Dylan.” -Tripwire

lasco stroud

**late add on this show will feature lasco stroud from Madison, WI. Fronted by St. Paul native Issac Wexler-Mann, Lasco Stroud stop in Saint Paul on a brief Midwest tour..
