Enjoy all the flavors this Saturday night: psychedelic Americana, pure rock-and-roll right off the snake farm, and harmony-driven pop-rock.
HATERS CLUB is still flying high after the release of their snarkily-titled 2023 EP - RIYH. The album was featured in the Current's March Scouting Report, Adventures in Americana, and in Dispatch. "Together they've crafted a set of songs that are sonically diverse, but carry the common thread of Kukielka's enigmatic, reflective lyrics and standout vocals," writes AIA. Haters Club was formed in 2010 by friends and former Eclectone labelmates DJ Kukielka, Ted Held, and Amy Rajkowski. After releasing their first EP - The Golden Age of Haters Club - in 2012, the band split up for a long break. Kukielka and Held brought the band back in 2022 with new drummer Erik Olson and former Hojas Rojas bass player Donovan Johnson. Don't let the name fool you, this band revels in sweet harmonies and clever guitars, and connects with audiences wherever they play.
WRRC~Loud sounds from the MPLS rock ‘n’ roll underground! Although only a three piece, fuzzed-out rock outfit Whiskey Rock ‘n’ Roll Club MPLS makes a bigger and badder sound—boogie with a bit of bite!—than groups one-and-a-half their size. The same over-performance also holds for Whiskey’s live show bar tabs, making the “Club meeting” live shows a favorite for fans of loud and fast music and bartenders alike. Whiskey Rock ‘n’ Roll Club MPLS is Taylor Carik (vox, guitar), Mark Devaraj (drums, also of Tromp le Monde, High on Stress, Heavy Sixers), and Andy Holmaas (bass, also plays with David Allen and others).Whiskey RRC MPLS have opened for national acts at The Turf Club and 7th St Entry, played the Roots, Rock & Deep Blues Festival, the Stone Arch Festival, SoundUnseen Opening Party, 612 Brewing Outdoor Summer Music Series, Hennepin 5 to 10 Series, and more.
SCOTT HEFTE AND THE BURY 'EM DEEP From the ashes of such bands as Seymore Saves the World, Superdanger, Me and My Arrow, and Stolyette, rises a dark and brooding indie-western soundtrack for your apocalypse. Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep have combined to create hellish landscapes of a dystopian nightmare while not forgetting the righteous influences of old school country, indie-pop, and noise rock. The resulting sound is one of Johnny Cash, Phil Collins, and Godspeed You Black Emperor, fighting a bloodless three way cage match for superiority. No one wins but you, when you dig the music of Scott Hefte and the Bury ‘em Deep.
