Portage “Landings”
Portage is putting out its second album today. Listen and buy at Bandcamp. Physical copies will be available Saturday at the Minneapolis CD-release show (Icehouse 11 p.m.) and earlier next week at the Electric Fetus in Duluth. Cheers!
Saturday at R.T. Quinlan’s
Three Bands / $4 / 10PM / RTQ’s
Fontanelles
Three Song Sunday
Pictures of Then (MPLS)
Hope to see you! Pictures of Then is fresh of (on?) tour and back from Austin. Real nice guys, real great music – if you’re fans of Dr. Dog, ELO or Modest Mouse I’m sure you’ll enjoy their pop psych rawk!
Friday at Luce
Three Local bands will play original rock & folk music and then cover the Beatles ‘Let it Be’ at the end of the night.
Hear:
– Two Beat Band singing “Don’t Let Me Down”
– Old Knifey & the Cuthroats singing “The Long & Winding Road”
– The Fontanelles playing the original and uncut version of “Dig It”
– Terrible banter from socially awkward singers.
See:
– Lots of flannel.
– Lots of PBRs
– Fontanelles’ confusing material with songs from “Let it Be”
(Replacements) and “Let it Bleed
– the BRAND NEW “Old Knifey” dance.
We promise there will be no ruffies at this show. But we can’t promise there will be cake.
4 on the Fontanelles
My bandmate Gabe Douglas (Duluth ex-pat) will be returning to D town with two of his bands this weekend, Four on the Floor and the Fontanelles. We will be playing several shows around town including at the Thirsty Pagan and Electric Fetus. (more…)
