A flashback, or involuntary recurrent memory, is a psychological phenomenon in which an individual has a sudden, usually powerful, re-experiencing of a past experience, or elements of a past experience.

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.

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.

Flashback: Arctic Monkeys at First Ave, Minneapolis (05/07/2007)

First Avenue turned into a venerable hotbox last evening, with the Arctic Monkeys playing their first ever Minneapolis show at the sold out and muggy club.(But that didn’t stop Elvis Costello from getting in-he was perched on the dj deck for the entire set, applauding and enjoying the show-he’s playing the Myth tonight.) And what a show it was. I have to admit, I was quite knackered from a long solo drive from Milwaukee that afternoon, and didn’t have a lot of energy going into the show, but that all changed as soon as the four lads from Sheffield took the stage. From that point on, First Ave was a powder keg of energy and high voltage rock n’ roll.
