Hot Roxx Hexmas Hextravaganza!!

Featuring…
Velvet Davenport•Dante and the Lobster•Invisible Boy•Secret Language•DJs MacKu$, Jen, and Nick

Remember two years ago, the first time you heard Marc Bolan wishing you a super funk Christmas and a golden New Year? Or last year when you saw a giant Bumble dancing to the unnamed super group? If yes, then you already know what you’d be missing by not attending this year’s Hot Roxx Hexmas Hextravaganza… If no, then, do you really want to read a message next year that asks if you remember something even more ridiculously awesome and regretting that you missed it too? This year’s show features the triumphant return of Secret Language (Colin of Vampire Hands) to the MPLS stage; plus indelible holiday covers by Hot Roxx darling, Invisible Boy; and the electrifying sounds of local psych faves Dante and the Lobster and Velvet Davenport. Not to mention live DJS (MacKu$, Jen and Nick) and Mixologist Gaylord serving drinks (this is unprecedented) in the band room. This year’s show is bigger than all of us. Don’t miss out.

The poster has the wrong bill, but is still pretty neat.

Fresh off tour with his band Menomena, and his 8.0 rating on Pitchfork, Brent Knopf brings his infectious melodramatic new project ‘Ramona Falls‘ to Minneapolis. Seventh Street Entry to be exact. The show is 18+ w/ openers Invisible Boy (of Vampire Hands) and Spiritual Mansions. 8PM doors, 9PM show – $10

Email Paul [at] Morecowbell.net if you are available to go Wednesday and want to win a free pair…

For reference, Ramona Falls is a real location in Mt. Hood, Oregon. Not too far away from Menomena’s native Portland. See pic below..
