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

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.

Win Tickets to This Friday's Lookbook Show at First Avenue

Hot off the heels of their west coast tour Lookbook return to Minneapolis to play the main room at First Avenue with support from Slapping Purses, Bight Club, and Zoo Animal. To win a pair of tickets to the show simply leave a comment on this post, and we’ll announce a winner tomorrow. Comments will be closed at noon Wednesday.

Check out More Cowbell’s photo shoot with Lookbook below.

And the winner is Sonia! Congrats.

Lookbook (CD Release) w/ SHAHS and Zoo Animal @ Kitty Cat Klub

Lookbook will be releasing their first full length record tonight @ The Kitty Cat Klub in Dinkytown, Minneapolis.
Grant Cutler and Maggie Morrison both come from a long list of former bands. I’m not sure quite what to expect but I hope there is more of their up-beat jams on the new record. If the new video (made by Bo Hakala) below is any indication then get your dancing shoes to the Kitty Cat Klub tonight. Zoo Animal and Shahs open..
