Flashback: Stereo Total at Triple Rock, Minneapolis (21 May 2005)

It's been a while since I did a Flashback article - this one was recently on my mind because I bought a Stereo Total CD at a used record store. I missed their appearance at the 7th Street Entry in 2009 on account that I was traveling from Austin to Minneapolis, after SXSW. However, I was there for Stereo Total at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis on May 21st, 2005.

Minneapolis Music Guide: August 17 – August 23, 2014

Here is the weekly guide of some Minneapolis live concerts and events from August 17...

Sonny Knight and the Lakers at In Cahoots – Red Stag Block Party, Minneapolis (03 Aug 2014)

The sun was high in the sky, humidity was rising, and temperatures flirted near 90 degrees, but it was still “Knight Time”. And, “Knight Time” proved to be the right time, as local retro-soul band Sonny Knight and the Lakers closed out the annual In Cahoots- Red Stag Block Party in Northeast Minneapolis yesterday. The main focus of the event was to have eight of the area’s burgeoning local craft brewers paired up in teams, to each create a new brew, that the crowd would then sample, and vote for the best recipe (spoiler alert: the Fulton/Dangerous Man Brewing combination was far and away the winner).

Paul McCartney at Target Field, Minneapolis (02 Aug 2014)

Paul McCartney just showed us all up. While most 72 year olds are contemplating a home in Boca Raton or counting the minutes until the early-bird dinner specials start, Sir Paul had the day named after him by the state’s governor and played 39 songs in 2 hours 45 min., at a very sold-out Target Field on a clear Saturday night in Minneapolis.

Tori Amos at the O’Shaughnessy, St Paul (03 August 2014)

"I wore my space frames for you all," stated Tori Amos at the O'Shaughnessy in St Paul, August 3rd, during her brief, but scheduled, Tori Says Hello segment. It's understandable that she's trying to limit the talk time, so she can fit in more songs, because she's got so many song requests that it's hard to play everything, otherwise "we'll be here all night."
