    Sun 27 Apr – Afternoon Records Five Year Anniversary Party

    This may have been the best display of live Twin Cities (and surrounding Midwestern cities) indie-rock anyone could ever come up with.

    I've discovered and re-discovered a few bands that sparked and re-sparked my Love of certain music:

    The Poison Control Center (AMES, IOWA) - Electrified live performance. They made me dance and fall in Love with Pavement all over again.

    We All Have Hooks For Hands (SIOUX FALLS, SD) - A nine-membered band would normally make me a little uneasy, but they all play a valid part and non-tambourine-ish instruments. Reminds me of Wolf Parade..

    The Battle Royale (MINNEAPOLIS) - Grace is my old stand partner from orchestra in middle school. She's the cool-girl-in-a-cool-band I always thought I'd grow up to be. Also: my co-worker Mark is the lead singer and he always puts on a fucking awesome show. Instead of itching to see The Faint for the fifth time, I can go see dems with my liq sto ladies.

    Thu 4 Oct – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Elvis Perkins In Dearland

    This was my first time at the Fine Line, and this was the perfect show to see first. All the clapping of hands was for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! Some Loud Thunder...right into Is This Love? AMAZING.
