Registered Historical Facts 2025
When I was moving, I couldn’t bring everything with me. So, I thought the easiest thing was to leave my CDs, DVDs, and books behind. I figure I had already ripped all my DVDs and CDs, and, you know, I could always rebuild. I just didn’t have the room to bring everything with me.
Turns out, leaving books and CDs behind was one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Mark Mallman at Parkway Theater, Minneapolis (August 8, 2025)
Local Twin Cities legend Mark Mallman was celebrating the release of his newest album (his eleventh), Magic Time, at the Parkway Theater in South Minneapolis. Mallman is widely known in indie circles for his long body of work, but also the craziness of his live shows, which sometimes lean into full performance art. His Marathon shows, well over 24 hours each, are great examples of the lengths he is willing to go. The newest album, self-described as a “paranormal concept record” was the main topic du jour.

The Coronas at Ceol on the River, Harriet Island (August 7, 2025)
The Irish Fair of Minnesota is one of the largest annual festivals of its type in the country, with a full three days of events. Taking over Harriet Island in downtown St. Paul, the Irish Fair will have half a dozen stages for music and dance events, and tents and space for plenty of food, drink, crafts, and sports. And with all of that, this year they are expanding with a Thursday night event, Ceol on the River (ceol being the Irish word for music). Three bands, headlined by alternative rock band The Coronas kicked off the first ever event.
Horsegirl at Fine Line, Minneapolis (August 5, 2025)
I’m not sure if it’s a first for We Heart Music, but last night welcomed the return of a band Horsegirl and its opening act that played at the same venue two years before. Also the drummer in the opening act is the younger brother to one of the headliners. So, a lot of synergy, maybe a perfect trifecta if you could gamble on music.
Ghost at T-Mobile Center, Kansas City MO (2025-08-05)
One of the best arena concert-going experiences in some time, was courtesy of the Swedish Grammy Award-winning monsters of macabre melodic metal, Ghost, who played a Tuesday night concert...err, make that ritual, in downtown Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center

Yam Haus at Lake Harriet Bandshell, Minneapolis (August 1, 2025)
Except for the lingering Canadian smoke it was a perfect night to be outside to catch The Star Tribune’s Music & Movies at Lake Harriet’s Bandshell. It was definitely a family affair with the movie being Denzel Washington’s Remember the Titans and local favorite Yam Haus playing a 75-minute set before the hazy sun set.
