Lap Dogs want to throw one heck of a rock and roll party on this mid May Wednesday night!

Lapdogs is composed of Gunnar, Aaron, and Oliver, three good friends playing some good old indy rock.

A driving force in the Minneapolis scene, In Lieu is the next generation of scuffed boots, burning eyes, and refusing to apologize for a level of ingenuity that others are afraid of.

With the sludgy yet bright guitars that grunge was born from, breakneck percussion, and sinuous bass lines, In Lieu has the sonic deviance of walking hot tracks at the start of summer. Coupled with fluidly sweet and powerful vocals and lyricism that will give you emotional whiplash while feeding your god complex, this band is an evolutionary monster that shows everyone what heights and ferocity DIY is capable of.

Baumgardner is a 3-piece sludge/grunge band based out of Minneapolis, MN. Meshing power pop and punk simplicity with the heaviness of Black Sabbath, at the band’s core is the catharsis of rock ‘n’ roll that inspired its genesis. Heavy like a dying neutron star, Baumgardner is Minneapolis's heaviest three-piece.
