Concert to (Definitely) Put On Your Calendar: “Welcome to MN” Tour
Rhymesayers does it again! Local favorite Atmosphere will be joined by Kill the Vultures, Big Quarters, maLLy and BK-One for the 2nd annual “Welcome to Minnesota” tour. All of the dates are HERE; they’ll be hitting up First Avenue on February 22, 2011. I would recommend getting tickets early, because it sold out pretty quickly last year. If you love local music or hip hop, definitely check this out.
Concert to (Maybe) Put On Your Calendar: Gotye
Gotye has been a questionable artist within the KUST E-Board: Some of us love him, some of us hate him, and some just don’t get it. Go ahead and judge for yourself, tickets for his show at the Varsity on April 4, 2012 are on sale here: http://first-avenue.com/event/2012/04/gotye
News You Probably Won’t Care About: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1675500/beastie-boys-rock-hall-of-fame.jhtml
The newest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees were announced, and it left some scratching their heads. Guns N Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys along with others have been chosen as some of rock’s elite to enter the “hall.” Just in case you wanted to know what it takes to become legendary: the artist must have released a record at least 25 years prior to the year of induction; and have demonstrated unquestionable musical excellence. Um… Cool? Whatever, let me know when Ke$ha gets inducted.
Music Video I’m Obsessed With: Howler – “Back of Your Neck”
I love MN. I love MN music. So obviously I am in love with local band Howler’s new video, which premiered yesterday on the ROLLING STONE website. Amazing, Right? Check it out, its a great song.
