Twenty-one years after their last Minnesota show, Grandaddy returned to First Avenue to perform The Sophtware Slump in full.

Caroline Kingsbury and Maris at Green Room, Minneapolis (October 4th 2025)
Alright, another Twin Cities music venue under my belt as the Green Room played host to co-headliners, Caroline Kingsbury and Maris. It’s a fun, intimate venue with plenty of great sightlines. The balcony allows for great views of the stage; straight on you still fell plenty close, and from the sides you feel like you’re practically on stage. When I review shows, I tend to move about and really couldn’t find a bad spot. If you haven’t been, check it out.

Flashback: Superdrag at 400 Bar, Minneapolis (December 4, 2000)
You already know that I can’t remember anything. This is a really good example of my bad memory: when I saw Superdrag at SXSW in 2009, I thought that was my first (and only) time I saw the band.
