Australian Comedian Coming to the Fine Line

Jim Jeffries, the Australian born comedian will be in Minneapolis for a stand up show on (are you ready for the most futuristic date possible?) Saturday, October 10th! Fine Line tickets for this show go on sale this weekend, but I really don't see the rush for the on sale - the event is months away!

Jim Jeffries is known for his work with BBC Television, starring in such shows as Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You, Heaven and Earth and 8 out of 10 Cats. Jim Jeffries is currently filming his sitcom The Jim Jeffries Show and has recorded an HBO 1 Hour Comedy Special at the Skirball Center at NYU which will be released later this spring.

Fine Line Music Cafe tickets will be available this weekend for the show - he sounds like a funny guy - don't miss out!


Jim Jeffries - October 10th at the Fine Line

See 'Rapper's Delight' Live! One night only!!

There hasn't been a lot of fun shows at the Fine Line lady, sorry blog, I do what I can! I did see a show coming that did catch my eye for pure nostalgia reasons, which is the Sugar Hill Gang. I had no idea that they were even still a band, let alone touring! But regardless I am sure it would be fun to see such a staple in the world of rap music.
Everyone knows the Sugar Hill Gang - if you don't remember "Rapper's Delight" from them you for sure remember the part in the Wedding Singer where Ellen Albertine Dow gets on stage in sings "A hip hop a hibby to the hibby, etc." You cannot forget that memorable movie moment of an elderly lady rapping.



Anyways, if you would like to buy Fine Line tickets for this show they are on sale now!

The Fine Line and I are taking a break. End of story.

It has finally happened. I was on a roll there for awhile, having a good relationship with the Fine Line, but it happened. I am now officially on a break with the Fine Line. Our relationship hit a rock last night and unless I really really really love the band I am going to keep my distance. It is really for the best, it saves a world of frustration.
So last night I went to see Peter Bjorn and John at the Fine Line (life was too busy for me to make it there in time for Chairlift - which was too bad because I love the song from the iPod commercial). Fine Line tickets for this show must have sold out because once again you could not move in the Fine Line. I think that the reason the Fine Line differs from First Ave so much is simply the way it is layed out. The Fine Line is a much narrower space making it impossible to see if you're stuck way in the back like Sara and I were last night. Ugh! It just wasn't any fun! Who enjoys standing in the back behind a pole that is blocking your way all the while people are shoving their way past you and hitting your arm every 5 seconds and spilling your beer! Not me. I left before the encore and I didn't even get to hear "young folks."
Frustrating!

Don't get me wrong, I love supporting the Fine Line and the acts that play there by going there as much as I can. But I go to soo many concerts that I have to have some standards!

Next Up: The Sounds at the Varsity!

BJM Show at the Fine Line!

It has taken me a few days to recover from the Brian Jonestown Massacre show last week to say the least. The night ended in a cab ride I don't remember and one hell of a show! The original members (Anton, Matt, and Joel) were all touring this time around. I never thought that I would get to see Joel play the ol' tambourine! But I did! And I got to hear all of the great Matt Hollywood jams and all the Anton jams. I truly cannot tell you how wonderful of a show it was. I wish I could see it again this Thursday! Fine Line tickets for this event were not sold out, however, the Fine Line was packed. You could not even move on the balcony at all.

I have some great pictures, I'll post them when I am back at my computer!

Next up: Peter Bjorn and John on the 21st of April!!!!

Here are some pictures from the very hazy night!










I can't wait to see them again!!

Different Day, same show!

Hello there!
It's been awhile since I've updated, but I'm still going to write about how excited I am to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre next week. One week from today! Whoo hoo!
I have my Fine Line tickets for this show. All of my best friends are going to the show, too. And it's not every day that you get to see your favorite band :)
I really wanted to get the table

Also, on the21st of April Peter Bjorn and John (one of my new favorite bands!) will be in town for a show at the Fine Line. Fine Line tickets for this show will definitely sell out, they have a pretty big following via 89.3 the Current. They are another band that I have fallen for by my satellite radio.

If you are not doing anything on the 26th I HIGHLY suggest you venture down to the Fine Line. You will get the privilege of seeing one of the best bands that no one knows about!

See you there!

Anton and Co. are coming back!

The mad genius himself, Anton Newcombe / Brian Jonestown Massacre, is coming back to the Fine Line on March 26th.
Everyone knows Anton from the movie, DIG!, but those who can look past the movie and see the true talent behind Anton Newcombe are pleasantly bombarded with one of the most extensive and astonishing music catalogs of today. The band that Anton tours with now does not entrance the audience the way it used to, but it's still a privilege to be in the presence of someone so talented.

In case you haven't noticed, I am a HUGE fan.

Fine Line tickets for this show are going to be A LOT easier to get than last time they were in town. Schell's beer sponsored the event so the ONLY way to get tickets was to go to Schell's Beer sponsored events at certain bars and put your name in a drawing and hope that your name gets drawn. I never won a single ticket! And Schell's Beer is gross! But I got to go anyways, my friends won multiple times!



see you at the show!
Tickets are on sale now!

Fine Line is still Fine

Sorry I haven’t been updating my Fine Line blog much, but let me quiet the rumors that the Fine Line Music Cafe is not doing well. As far as I know the Fine Line is doing just fine. I often have people asking me of cool Minneapolis places to bring out of town guests and the Fine Line Music Cafe always tops my list of recommends. They have quality live music with top notch acoustics and clean modern bathrooms (100 times better than First Ave, trust me!) and the ambiance is relaxing enough to visit with your guests, but definitely not boring.

The Fine Line has good pictures of the clubs inside on their website. Check it out here if you are wondering what to expect.
