News You Probably Won’t Care About: Superbowl 2012 Halftime Show
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/madonna-to-perform-at-super-bowl-halftime-20111205
Sorry football fans, The Who will not be returning for another halftime show next year.. MADONNA will be entertaining millions around the country when she’s performing on the 2012 Halftime Show this year. We can feel the excitement radiating from you already. Which leads us to ask…
Loading ...Band to Know: “Polica”
Seriously, you’ll want to give them a listen and love them before the rest of the country does. Local band Polica, lead by Channy Moon Casselle of the recently split Roma di Luna, has been creating lots of chatter within the Twin Cities music scene. In October 2011 they were named #2 on the “Picked to Click” list from City Pages, and recently opened for pop-swooners Foster the People at First Avenue.
If you’re lucky (aka over-21) then I suggest you catch them at the Turf Club this Friday (12/9/11) with another local favorite, Solid Gold. If you’re unlucky (like me) you will have to wait until February 14, 2011 for their record release show at First Avenue. But, I guarantee it will be well worth the wait.

Hey you guys should check out the band Asker. They’re from UST and are probably the best band from here.

Definitely will check them out! Thanks Genevieve.
