News: Palmer’s Bar will Shut Down in September

It is with heavy hearts that we must finally announce that Palmer’s Bar last day of business will be this September 14th, 2025. This has been an incredibly difficult but necessary decision and we are devastated to do so. Thank you so very much to everyone that has been keeping this bar alive since 1906, especially our very faithful regulars, and the incredibly talented musicians that have played our stages over the years. Above all else, our staff - who make the place so special and who really are the best in the business. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you all.

Flashback: Raveonettes at Triple Rock Social Club (26 Sep 2012)

I previously mentioned that I’ve seen Danish indie rock duo The Raveonettes at at least twice (I’m almost certain I’ve seen them prior to 2007, because I was listening to Whip It On in 2002 and would have likely seen them on that tour (if they toured at all).

Flashback: Art Brut at Triple Rock (09 Nov 2009)

Oh man, how I love Art Brut. This isn’t really a band, it’s more like a weird art-rock with singer Eddie Argo “singing” or talking over music. Argo writes the best songs, like “Formed a Band”, which tells the secret origin of him forming a band: “Formed a band, we formed a band! Look at us, we formed a band! … And yes, this is my singing voice, it's not irony, it's not rock and roll. We’re just talking to the kids.”

Flashback: Voxtrot at Triple Rock Social Club (05 June 2007)

The only time I saw Voxtrot, it was on their tour with Au Revoir Simone, who I saw with Peter, Bjorn & John at First Avenue on 09 May 2007. Heather from Au Revoir Simone came on stage to sing the girl part in “Young Folks.” I thought the Au Revoir Simone girls were so handsome.

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.
