Flashback: Blitzen Trapper at First Avenue, Minneapolis (18 Feb 2009)
I have seen Blitzen Trapper at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis on July 29, 2007. I can say it now, but when I saw them at the Triple Rock, it wasn’t a very good turnout, due to the fact it was a Sunday night. The band was really late to the venue because of roadwork on Highway 61. It wasn’t the band’s finest hour, especially going on cold without a soundcheck.

Flashback: Skybombers at Triple Rock Social Club, Minneapolis (04 Aug 2008)
To be honest, I wasn't supposed to be at this show, but already having missed Skybombers the first time around when they opened up for X, I felt I had to turn up to support these guys this time around at The Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis. Usually these Triple Rock shows have at least three bands (hence: triple), but Monday night, they were overbooked with FIVE bands.
