When they say ‘Free’ they dont mean the lack of costing money, but rather the style of music is “Free” or improvised. Free of boundaries and limits. Come check out these cats.

By on November 12, 2009 in Announcements, Concerts, Series

The Whole Music Club presents:
VAMPIRE HANDS, GHOSTBAND, AND ZOMBIE SEASON
Vampire Hands sound is built on pulsating, hypnotic rhythms, reverb guitar and dark yet beautiful vocals and tribal-like chants.

Ghostband has a similar pulsating rhythms. The one man band takes a more experimental approach that produces wild, hazy landscapes of sound capable of shifting dramatically in the blink of an eye.

Sticking with the theme Zombie Season contributes with their haunting and engaging songs that seem to be rooted both in fear and redemption.

$3.00 for U of M Students/Staff/Faculty, $5.00 for general public.

Haunted House 'Guess Who's Not Coming To Dinner' Album Release Shows

By on October 29, 2009 in Announcements, CD Release, Concerts

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
