Lookbook/Bight Club/Zoo Animal/Slapping Purses @ First Avenue 6/18/2010

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:52:34 +0000

For the first time Lookbook headlined the main room at First Avenue for a great homecoming show after a three week tour. I caught Bight Club and Lookbook but missed Slapping Purses and Zoo Animal as I needed to eat an inside out burger over at First Ave’s new restaurant The Depot. Bight Club is definitely a local act to watch, they’re playing The Hexagon next month as well as some other gigs. The energy Lookbook brought to the stage was the highest I’ve ever seen it, no doubt they were charged up about headlining the main room. See my pics below.

Local supergroup GAYNGS played two shows at First Avenue on Friday to excited crowds of Twin Citizens decked out in prom gear. The night was pretty perfect, and Prince even made a brief appearance (though he didn’t play).

Lookbook @ The Entry

admin — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 08:50:44 +0000

This has to be easily, the single most photographed scene in Minneapolis but Grant and Maggie make it look better than ever.

Chris Reimenschnieder makes a good point as he essentially says if its 80′s style eclectro, its getting mighty popular. Especially locally with Owl City, Solid Gold and Lookbook sticking ahead as frontrunners.

Get there early. Don’t be surprised when this one sells out.

Curtiss A and friends with Lucy Michelle and The Velvet Lapelles, Romantica, and many more played last night in the main room at First Avenue. I tend to avoid tribute shows, but this was fantastic.
