February’s Line-Up: Duck Bomb, Monarch, Alpine Shepard Boy and Booster Pack
8pm Duck Bomb~ Founding members Gavin Schultz (vocals, bass), Jonah Beck (guitar) and Josh McCullough (drums) came together in 2021 to form a band. During the release process of Bottom Text (2023), the name Duck Bomb was chosen for the group, with Jacob Wegier (guitar) joining later that year. Influences of pop punk and heavy metal clash to form a high energy modern alternative sound of contrasting highs and lows. Equipped with catchy choruses and lyrical narratives on conflict and growth, Duck Bomb has something for everyone to enjoy, from casual listeners with an itch for something explosive to active listeners with a hunger to dive in.
9 Monarch~ Monarch is a Twin Cities-based five piece rock band. With influences ranging from the heavy-psychedelia of the 60s and 70s, to the soothing lo-fi aesthetic of modern indie music. Whether you’re looking for some hard rocking head-bangers or some danceable funky grooves, you’ll find em at a Monarch show. They and are currently recording their debut album with producer Adi Dovre Wudali.
10 Alpine Shepard Boy~ Alpine Shepherd Boy started as the project of songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Thomas Schroeder in 2019. After several years of quiet development as an unofficial recording project, Alpine Shepherd Boy now emerges into the Minneapolis scene with bassist Ogden Miller and drummer John Bruch. The trio is driven by the desire to create novel indie rock that combines elements of jazz, folk, and alternative, all underpinned by lush shoegaze experimentation. Their sound is dynamic, atmospheric, and rhythmically complex, yet accessible to listeners of all tastes.
11 Booster Pack~ is a mashup of modern jazz and video game music. They perform original jazz and fusion arrangements of songs from video game soundtracks. Booster Pack is local to the Twin Cities and formed in the summer of 2024.
