So Moon Glyph is putting out their 11th release this week, local newcomers Buffalo Moon’s debut album, “Wetsuit”. Their sound is the perfect complement to our atypically warm spring, check it out:

http://moonglyph.asymm.net/mp3/buffalo_poolside.mp3

With four of its five members hailing from South Dakota, the bossanova/light psych sound made by the Buffalo Moon would be one wicked curveball even in this epoch of transculturalism. But when you discover that their guitarist/harpist/main vocalist, Karen Freire is originally from Ecuador, their superbly titled Wetsuit begins to make sense. That is not to say that the record isn’t without its curveballs. You wouldn’t find track names such as “Iowa’s Got A New Strip Club” and “Money, Pussy, Weed” on an Astrud Gilberto album nor would expect such adept levels of musicianship, but its there in strokes. Wetsuit is in turns beachy and cosmopolitan, slyly experimental and a lot of fun.

Ed. of 100.

karen freire – guitar, harp & vocals
sarah darnall – bass & vocals
preston holm – clarinet, keys & percussion
joel schmitz – guitar & trumpet
jon wetzler – percussion & rhodes

Paragraphs have crafted a gorgeous debut EP and are one of the more promising young bands in the Twin Cities.

The show is tonight (Saturday, Jan 16th) at the 501 Club in downtown Minneapolis. Best of all, it’s FREE!

Listen to ‘It’s Sunset At Midnight’

Two Harbors
Blue Sky Blackout

feat. Marc “the Guv” spinning all night

pre-sale tickets available at the bar

9:30 DOORS

$5 adv | $7 doors| 21+

“The Mood Swings sound often conjures up summer fun and garage rock vibes, but the band never falls into the cutesy cliches of girl group convention. Even the over-the-top midnight party blaster “Let’s Go” has a darker undercurrent.”- taken from the bands bio

Listen to the title track from ‘Recessionista’:

Listen to ‘Who Said’

Dante and The Lobster celebrate the release of their first full-length record “Wonders”

As we speak, Sundowners full length “Gnome & Glacier” is becoming an LP due to the courteous acts of Dirt Cult Records. If you order one now you will be entered into a contest that will qualify you into the chance at winning a test pressing copy of the album. Head on over to Dirt Cult Records website to pick one up.

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 Era

FREE – 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
