9pm American Cream~ Led by tent-revivalist preacher/cult leader Nathan Nelson, the band alchemically blends the jagged grooves of The B-52s with the 80s disco punk vigor of James Chance & The Contortions into something that is more than nostalgia; it's an artistic endeavor that beckons you to move, to let the music become the brushstroke in the painting of your own existence. Larger and larger crowds of frenzied freaks flock to the Twin Cities’ dingiest dives with each performance, responding to the band’s rhythm as ritual approach to their live sound.
8pm Mr. Softheart~ Named an "Artist to Watch in 2024" by Iowa Public Radio, Mr. Softheart has drawn comparisons to Suicide, Viagra Boys, Nick Cave, LCD Soundsystem, and The Cramps. Their sound blends post-punk, new wave, dance, and experimental elements, culminating in a setlist of “moody meditations” centered around lead singer Nick Fisher’s wry poetics and arch stage persona. The band's debut record ‘Magdalene In Crisis' was released digitally and on cassette via Des Moines-based tape label Warm Gospel in December of 2023.
7pm DIIE~ are a non-denominational organization dedicated to learning and healing via krautpunk songs that weld the anodyne sounds of classic psych-rock and desert jazz to ear-splitting noise, endless cosmische rhythms and unapologetic guitar shredding. Contact us for pamphlets or other educational materials. See you in the Heavenly Plane!
If Weather is dumb the show moves indoors.
