Review of Mainroom show & Photo courtesy, NoiseDamage.com

Changing the pace quite a bit, one-man electronic band Slapping Purses gave the crowd something they couldn’t have expected to have sandwiched between a pair of rap acts – electronic noise reminiscent of u-Ziq with a bit of Venetian Snares thrown in for good measure. ‘Purses stood with his wicker suitcase and custom-made rhinestone skull microphone at center stage kicking some rhythms and glitched-up melodies that few in the mainroom could’ve fathomed. What set this set apart was the addition of a live drummer, it brought alot of energy to what might’ve been an empty stage. Strange looks wandered around the room when the set started but it didn’t take long for the incredibly heavy beats and noise to infect the crowd. By the end of the set, nearly three and a half hours after the main room doors opened, everyone was chomping at the bit for P.O.S. to take the stage. When he did, he opened up with this: “Can you build your own microphone? I don’t think so. Give it up for Slapping Purses.”

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

Leisure Birds

Tender Meat

Arctic Universe
