They’ve clung to a DIY work ethic that has been ingrained in them since growing up in the 1980′s hardcore scene. 1500 shows and 200,000 album sales later, it cannot be denied that the band has surpassed all expectations and permanently staked their claim in contemporary music. Something To Do is a long lasting, great smelling rock & roll & ska band from Milwaukee. Space Monkey Mafia brings high energy horns & harmonies. Founded in 2016, the six-piece band is rooted in the best parts of ’90s/’00s ska and punk, infused with a healthy dose of contemporary influence, and combined with a lyrical urgency and message to meet the moment. Lost Island Society plays energetic Ska! Roots in the 3rd Wave, branching out into something fresh. — Set times: 7PM Doors Open 7:30 Lost Island Society 8:20 Space Monkey Mafia 9:20 Something To Do 10:20 Mustard Plug

He represented the fourth generation of country music’s most legendary family — hence his nickname, “IV” — and the pressure to launch his own career was enormous. Although Coleman would eventually make his mark with Southern Circus — the genre-bending debut from his band, IV and The Strange Band, combining southern storytelling and country textures with 100-watt guitar amps and DIY attitude — he needed to break free first and discover his own musical approach along the way. Southern Circus is his homecoming: an album that finds him not falling into a legacy, but earning it.   For most of his twenties, Minnesota musician James Eugene Russell spent his days zigzagging the country in various vans playing in hard working punk bands like Cadillac Blindside, The Book of Dead Names, and The Cardinal Sin. He then began exploring new sounds with his country rock outfit, Prairie Sons. After Prairie Sons disbanded, James spent over a decade absent from the music scene dealing with alcoholism, becoming a father, and finally finding sobriety. James melds all of his life experience into a sound that he describes as “country midwestern”. His first release as a solo artist, ‘As/Is’ is a truthful, gut-wrenching journey through his last decade of change, so buckle up and listen. Goatroaper is the music of Abbey Janii / Mike Lee and friends, mpls country-rock #gap-343299723 { padding-top: 30px; }
