Minneapolis at SXSW
Yep, it's that time of the year. South by Southwest. Please also read
SXSW 2012 Preview.
ROCK THE CAUSE
irockthecause.org
Rock the Cause is the Twin Cities' non-profit that builds communities
through the power of music. They are one of the sponsors (including
McNally Smith College of Music, 89.3 The Current, MPLS.TV, and MFR) of
the daylong blow-out at SXSW on March 17th. McNally Smith College of
Music is bringing 10 of their students to the blow-out.
I don't know about you, but I reckon these students have never
experienced SXSW before. What I can tell you is that it is the best
music experience I've ever had. For about a week, it's all about the
music. You can't go anywhere without a band playing. It's pretty
sweet.
I suppose it's not all partying, music business faculty Scott LeGere
had this to say, "…they'll be plenty busy attending panels,
interviewing key decision makers and promoting the college's first
ever day party." Oh, that's right, there are daytime conferences,
which, to this day, I have never woke up early enough to attend (with
concerts ending at 2am, it's hard to wake up before noon).
Anyway, if you're down in SXSW this year, be sure to check out Liberty
Bar in East Austin on March 17, from noon to 8pm. Bands on the bill:
Astronautalis, Night Moves, Peter Wolf Crier, Me And My Arrow, Zoo
Animal, Fort Wilson Riot, The Honeydogs, Pink Mink, Toki Wright, and
McNally Smith College of Music students Danami, Kara Laudon, and David
Sutton.
Did I also mention free booze? Complimentary Lone Star Beer, Summit
Mirco-Brews, and food from East Side King will be available while it
lasts. RSVP to this concert event now.
PINK MINK
pinkminkband.com
Today (March 2nd) is Minneapolis' Pink Mink big send-off party show at
First Avenue.
03.02.12 - Minneapolis, MN @ First Avenue (SXSW Send-off Party)
03.09.12 - Madison, WI @ High Noon Saloon (w/Electric 6)
03.12.12 - Fargo, ND @ The Aquarium (w/Electric 6)
03.17.12 - Austin, TX @ SXSW / McNally Smith Party
No doubt that they will be playing songs from their self-titled album,
which was released last July.
Also on Vita.mn's "Are You Local?" SXSW send-off are basically the
same people at Rock the Cause: Astronautalis,Peter Wolf Crier,The
Blind Shake,Pink Mink, and Fort Wilson Riot. Over at 7th Street
are:Xavier Marquis, Prissy Clerks (who played last night are a
superteam of Red Pens and Total Babe), andThe Japhies.
POLIÇA

Poliça is basically Minneapolis' big buzz band at the moment. They
were on the cover of City Pages, which kind of turned me off because
the writer was absolutely in love with singer Channy Leanagh. I'm sure
it's well-deserved, but I want you to know she hasn't casted her
bewitching spell on me.
I'm the only one apparently, because everyone, including National
Public Radio is in love with the band. Poliça will be in the NPR Music
SXSW 2012 Event this year, alongside such national acts like Fiona
Apple, Andrew Bird, The Magnetic Fields, Sharon Van Etten and more.
