Desert Daze: October 11-13, 2019

It is said that autumn is a time of rebirth, reflection and revitalization the soul. It’s a time of coziness, togetherness and ease as the cooler weather blankets our everyday lives. For some this means pumpkin spice lattes and dinners with friends by a fire and for some, it means an expansive weekend long music festival filled with a wonderland of modern-day rock legends. It means a perfectly curated playground of psychedelic art and communion with the promise of an all-around good freakin’ time. For some, the allurement of this season is the sprinkling of rock tunes on your tongue and a whole new version of Woodstock. Rock, my friends, is not dead.

Minneapolis: June 22 to June 24, 2017

Here are some concerts taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from June 22 to June 24, 2017.

The Sword w/ Big Business and O’ Brother at Mill City Nights, Minneapolis (9 March 2014) concert review

Austin, TX bred The Sword headlined the evening with a 75 min. set of no-frills, so-called stoner doom metal… that inexplicably began with the intro music of Jay-Z’s ’99 Problems’. The four-piece is out in support of its fourth and latest effort, Apocryphon (Razor and Tie), with song titles not out of place in a Tolkien novel or as an episode name on Game of Thrones. While the newer songs embrace more of a classic hard rock sound (think early Sabbath), they fit seamlessly within the context of the older, darker material.
