Triple Rock Social Club

The Triple Rock Social Club was a legendary bar, music venue, and restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota, co-owned by Erik Funk and Gretchen Funk. Serving as a cornerstone for the local punk and hardcore scene for 19 years, the venue permanently closed its doors on November 22, 2017

alt-J – An Awesome Wave

UK art rockers, alt-J are certainly no strangers to the awkward task of assigning context to obscure subjects. The quartet met at Leeds University in 2007 as students of English Lit and Fine Art. Rather than pursue the steady income guaranteed from an art degree, they began creating music together under the moniker Daljit Dhaliwal (creepily, a real-life person), later adopting alt-J* as their permanent nom de plume.

Triple Threat at the Triple Rock

Here are a three bands playing at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis.
The venue was championed as "Best Rock Venue" of 2011. Certainly not a venue that I would put in my top five… but I can understand that the City Pages didn't want to place the same venue in the #1 spot year after year.

Skybombers at the Triple Rock, Minneapolis (08/04/08)

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.
