President's of the USA at the Fine Line!

Let nostalgia take it's course in May when The President's of the United States of America take the stage at the Fine Line Tuesday, May 6th. I am sure that Fine Line tickets for this show will still be available up until show time, as the interest for the band has goen down a bit since their mega hits "Lump" and "Peaches" hit the airwaves in '95. If I heard "Peaches" on the radio today, I would not doubt sing along, not missing a word.

Regardless, The Presidents of the United States of America are not just on a reunion tour, but are touring in support of their new album, Pure Frosting.

Fine Line tickets for this event are on sale now!

Bravery Show at the Fine Line

Even though Fine Line tickets for this show didn't completely sell out, which was kind of nice. For once you could actually move around!
However, I still had to stand in the back. I got there in time to see one of the opening bands who looked like a couple frat boys from Australia (I was VERY jealous of their tan!)
Other than that, they weren't too much to write home about.
The Bravery played all their hits from their new and old album like "Believe," "This is not the End," "Time Won't Let Me Go," and "An Honest Mistake." The Bravery managed to play all the songs I wanted to hear, but didn't really wow me with the way they performed them. I had seen them before at Roy Wilkins opening for the Smashing Pumpkins. I attributed that show being a little under par simply because Roy Wilkins is built like a high school gymnasium.
I can't complain too much because I got my $15 worth, but I don't know if I would go out of my way to see them again.
The show really got me in concert mode, though. Only a week and half until I get to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in Madison!!! Now that is a band I would definitely go back to the Fine Line to see!!!

The Bravery Just Annonced at the Fine Line!!!

Dance pop band, The Bravery, will be at the Fine Line next month!

The Bravery have toured extensively since the release of their album The Sun and the Moon last summer. Not only have they headlined their own tour, but they also opened for the Smashing Pumpkins on their tour last fall.

This time around they are touring in support of the re-release of The Sun and the Moon: The Complete. It will feature unreleased tracks, which in the weeks prior to the release (which is March 18th) each track will be made available on iTunes on a weekly basis.

Fine Line tickets for this event are sure to sell out seeing as the Bravery has sold out all of their previous shows in Minneapolis! They have played at The Varsity, Roy Wilkins Auditorium and now the Fine Line!

While I Google image searched a picture of the Bravery to put here, I found something that made me love the band even more; a picture with one of my favorite guys in the whole world, Mr. Dave Grohl:




The Bravery: Sunday, April 20th, 2008 @ The Fine Line Music Cafe 18+
Doors open at 7 pm, music starts at 8 pm

Har Mar at the Fine Line Music Cafe!!!

In less than one weeks a local music star will be back in Minneapolis! Minnesota's own Har Mar Superstar will be in town opening for national act, Sia.

You may not recognize the name, Sia, but she is the voice behind Thievery Corporation, which you may know and love from the Garden State soundtrack.

Fine Line Music Cafe tickets for this show will certainly sell out because of Har Mar's hometown fans (myself included). I bought my Har Mar Superstar ticket weeks ago so I wouldn't be standing out in the cold!

Last Night at the Fine Line Music Cafe

Last night at the Fine Line, The Editors, Hot Hot Heat, and Louis XIV played a sold out show to an audience that couldn't wait for all three bands to take the stage. There were so many people in the Fine Line that you could barely move to get a drink, go to the bathroom, or retrieve your coat from coat check, which was necessary on a very cold Minnesota night!
I enjoyed all the bands, but Hot Hot Heat was my favorite. The Editors just sound like Interpol too much - not that it's a bad thing, but I just can't shake it from their sound.
Hot Hot Heat, however, delivered a great, loud, and very danceable show. They played a lot of their older stuff, mainly the songs that made me a fan.
As we were walking out of the Fine Line Music Cafe into the below zero weather, I was handed a flier for a Louis XIV show at the Varsity Theater in March.

Like Fine Line Music Cafe tickets, Varsity Theater tickets sell fast!

Louis XIV will be at the Varsity Theater Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 - 7pm door, 8 pm show 18+

Next up at the Fine Line on my calendar is Sia, but more importantly it is the opening act, Har Mar Superstar that I am going to see!
