Poison Control Center

5:00p - 5:45

The Poison Control Center have been hanging from chandeliers and doing somersaults around the country for the last six years. Releasing numerous Ep’s and Singles, garnering national press for their explosive live shows, been featured on NPR, played the CMJ festival twice, opened for their idols, headlined festivals, and even had Max Weinberg sit in on drums for a show.

Now, they have joined the Afternoon Records records and this is what they came up with: The Poison Control Center’s debut full length album, “A Collage of Impressions.” The 16-track album was put to analog tape on the banks of the Mississippi River with Patrick Stolley (Daytrotter) in the recording booth and mastered by Doug Van Sloun (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, Cursive).

The High Crimes

3:45p - 4:30p

The High Crimes, based in Minneapolis, play a powerful brand of rock n roll deeply rooted in blues and classic rock. The current line-up was solidified in December of last year, and they have been gigging heavily since March. In October of 2008 the band is releasing its full length debut along with an E.P. of live tracks.

Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles

2:30p - 3:15p

Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles is a 6 piece folk band out of the Twin Cities. They have been together as a group for less than a year and have recently recorded and released an all analogue debut album. They enjoy long candle lit walks on the beach, holding bearskin rugs, and your company. Their instrumentation is as follows: Ms. Lucy Michelle on vocals, ukele, keys, and extreme whistle. Geoff Freeman is her roomate and bud, keeping time on drums. Jesse Schuster is the man on bass, though can also keep a mean beat and has a lovely voice. Eamonn Mclain is a fierce cellist and also knows his way around a trombone. Ashley Boman plays the vertical piano, also known as the accordion, can sing when she isn’t blushing too badly, and has been known to dabble on other strange instruments… like the slide whistle and mason jar. Last but not least, Chris Graham is a maniac on the guitar.

In celebration of their debut CD, Wicked Man’s Rest, /PASSENGER. returns to the U.S. July 31 for a two week tour, giving American audiences another dose of their poignant tales spun as gorgeously melodic and well-crafted pop songs. With brilliant songwriting and a quick-witted sense of humor, /PASSENGER. revels in engaging their fans on a personal level. When the five-member band first tried busking on a recent tour, they were delighted to discover the ability to connect with a whole new audience. Front-man Mike Rosenberg explains, “it’s brilliant because people that don’t usually go to our gigs are exposed to our music.” /PASSENGER. enjoys the intimate audience interaction that busking allows, a novelty that often disappears when playing larger venues.” In a relaxed outdoor environment, the audience can enjoy /PASSENGER.’s raw sound, free from the distractions of a stage and lighting. Mike claims, “busking is fascinating because you strip everything away, there’s no keyboards, no massive drums and yet the same songs get to people. It’s really nice to have that confidence that your core [still] appeals to people.”

Email Paul [at] Morecowbell.net to enter. A pair of tickets are yours if you are the lucky winner.
