Despite the fact that someone hasn't post anything, I have a few things.
I peruse some of the Minneapolis venue sites about once a month. Thankfully I do this otherwise I'd miss so many more gigs than I already do. Case and point: The Hives are coming. Yes!
Some other bands that caught my attention, if only for their name, are The Whigs and Super Furry Animals.
The Whigs: short, strange, old school British party and on the front page of the Varsity Theater page. I couldn't not look. Turns out they are based out of Athens, GA, home of the Elephant 6 collective. Point for them. Their nicely designed web page earns them more points (yay designers). Musically, I've been there done that, but they've got a mix of tried and true formulas that combined with a live performance could be worthwhile. For a mere Hamilton, I might give them a whirl.
Upon looking at their disco, I realized I did know of the Super Furry Animals. But it was the presence of their gig listing not just the Varsity, but the extra promotion on First Ave that tipped me off to you're stupid if you don't at least take a peek. Well these Welsh folk have a different sound, sometimes even in a different language. Their psychedelic webpage tips off the psychedelic music but with a different fusion of rock and ballad. Some of their songs seem more like an acquired taste I don't have, but I haven't completely written them off.
A hint for Gretchen: how about that new President's album? *wink wink*
