Last Minute Secret Machines Show Announced!!

With only 2 weeks to spare the Secret Machines have announced a last minute show at the Fine Line Music Cafe. It kind of took me by surprise that they announced the show so late, but sometimes the last minute ones are the more fun, seeing as there is less time to wait for the show (hello, Spiritualized!)

Fine Line tickets for this show will go super fast, as the Secret Machines have sold out all their previous shows in Minneapolis.

The Secret Machines will be at the Fine Line Saturday, July 19th, 2008. Tickets go on sale Saturday, July 5th.

See you at the show!
Maybe if I keep my fingers crossed BRMC will be the opener? Haha, just wishful thinking!!!

Laugh Attack with Joe Rogan at the Fine Line!

The man from Fear Factor, UFC, and Newsradio will be doing his stand up comedy routine one night only. Unlike Chris Rock or Kathy Griffin, Joe Rogan will not be playing at the Orpheum Theater, but he will be playing at the Fine Line Music Cafe. Fine Line tickets for this show will sell out fast, seeing as Joe Rogan has such a dedicated fan base. I wasn't even a fan of his work until I saw his stand up. It's a lot better than his work on Fear Factor.





Joe Rogan Friday, August 8th at the Fine Line - Doors at 8pm, Show starts at 9pm
Tickets go on sale Saturday!

Past Shows at the Fine Line

I have seen some of my favorite bands at the Fine Line, I only wish that some of them would come back!
The first time that I went to the Fine Line, there was not a Fine Line ticket to be had. It was the first Kings of Leon tour in support of their 'Youth and Young Manhood' album. The whole place was packed, absolutely packed - you could not move, let alone travel around to go to the bathroom or get a beer.



I also remember when I bought Fine Line tickets to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club years ago and then the show was canceled because the band was dropped from Virgin Records. When they were dropped they lost their tour support and couldn't afford to go on the road. For a super fan like me that was pretty diaspointing.


(Peter Hayes, my love!)


I wish the Fine Line was a little bigger, or at least they sold less tickets to their shows; because when a show is sold out, you can't move inside the building!

The Kooks Are Officially Sold Out

If you were looking forward to seeing The Kooks this Saturday, May 31st you may want to find other plans.
Sadly, the show is COMPLETELY sold out. I went to the box office to see about Fine Line Tickets for this show and the kind of laughed at me I asked if they still had tickets available.

Matthew Ryan Show Announced!!

One of my favorite saddest/angriest/awesome singer songwriters, Matthew Ryan, is coming back to Minneapolis for a show at the Fine Line. The last time Matthew Ryan was in town he was opening for Gary Jules who was on tour in support of his "Mad World" fame from Donnie Darko.
Because Matthew Ryan was a supporting act he only played for half an hour, so I'm really excited that he will be playing a full headliner set.

Fine Line Music Cafe tickets for this show will sell fast, Matthew Ryan has been in town in awhile!
Tickets are on sale now!




Matthew Ryan - Sunday, June 22nd, Doors at 7pm, Music starts at 8pm 18+

Ours at the Fine Line!

New show announcement!!
Jimmy Gnecco's brainchild, Ours, will be at the Fine Line for a show on Thursday, June 12th.
Ours had radio and critical success with the "Distorted Lullabies" release in 2000. Going on a 6 year hiatus after the release of Lullabies. Now it seems as though he is making up for lost time with releasing and album in 2007 and 2008. "Mi" and this year's Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy) are Gnecco's last two releases.
Both releases are critically acclaimed though they have not had too much commercial success. Fine Line tickets for this show are on sale for the June 12th Ours show.
Gnecco and his band are known for their intense live shows (echoing Jeff Buckely's) so the tickets are sure to sell out!

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!
