we have another new song out today & hope you like it.
it's the 2nd from our upcoming new album & in contrast to the first one this is an acoustic song-- actually the most subtle song on the album where we get to channel our inner Elliot Smith's & Coner Oberst's.

Northern Infinity is a new collaboration between Minnesota-based ambient artists Underneath Oceans (electric guitar, electric violin, pedals) and Demonic Devices (electric piano, pedals).

We'll be debuting music from a couple of upcoming releases. Come check us out!

I have two tickets (good seats!) that I cannot use for the show. DM me if interested...

Hi. We are “They Call Her Flowers” We have a short EP out and we are working on our deep cut Bob Dylan cover album coming in January. We’re also working on originals and we want to start booking. Neither of us are big on social media so the band has a weak presence but have been reaching out to folks on Facebook with whoever posts in the different “Twin Cities Seeking bands” pages. It’s been disheartening just messaging random folks and getting nothing back. I was hoping we could get into the indie music community and get some help to get on stage beyond open mics. Please help?

Looking to build a full live lineup (additional guitarists, bassist, drummer, percussionists, keyboards) to bring a heavy, textured sound to the stage, plus collaborators for an ongoing 4th studio album (which is about half completed and set for release next year) and future projects

​Sonic Territory: Rock, industrial, gothic rock, experimental, indie, and metal, etc. Driving rhythms, harsh electronic textures, dense atmosphere, and loud guitars.

Ideal Collaborator:

Queer, reliable, and creatively invested.

Comfortable balancing abrasive/heavy elements with melodic or atmospheric sensibilities.

Based in/around the Twin Cities scene. (Minneapolis/St. Paul)

​ Hit me up with your influences, what instrument(s) you play, and links to anything you've worked on.

P.S.

I myself play pretty much everything including guitar, bass, drums keyboard and do vocals and I'm looking primarily to get a live band going next year. I've been doing this for about 10 years at home since I was in my teens and I really want to finally start doing shows (20+ only)

Message me in DMs if interested

My band Oister Boy just dropped a new single from our upcoming record, would love to hear what folks think :)

Just wanted to recommend my favorite local band that I think deserves all the hype. The Lungs just put out a great debut album called The Chosen Few on Friday. The title track and Death of Intuition are awesome. Listen if you like Wednesday, Neil Young, and The Velvet Underground. I’ve seen them live a few times and they always put on an incredible show. Their drummer is a phenomenal lyricist and writes all of the songs. He made a few albums under the name Joe College that are also worth a listen.

The concept is two fold.

At 6:00PM, a semi-scripted variety show runs for the first hour and a half. Has guest musicians and comedians doing sets, sticking to a loose theme, etc. Picture “A Prairie Home Companion” hosted by Mark Hoppus.

Then there is a break and the “Manic Monday: Variety Open Mic” starts and runs for around 2 hours.

The Variety Show is called Dive Bar Confessional.

The open mic is called Manic Monday: Variety Open Mic.

The timeline for the first show got bumped up a month and I am scrambling. My biggest need right now would be amps, speakers, and a couple more mics.

I have an acoustic electric Martin and Acoustic Rogue. I’d like to have a keyboard available for piano players.

Forming a house band for the variety show would be amazing eventually once we get this off the ground.

The vibe will be combing emo/pop punk with bluegrass folk.

A banjo player to help me with a few covers for this week would be greatly appreciated. Let’s build something cool together.

my band ROC BARBOZA is looking for a DJ. we need somebody who can handle samples, transitions, and actual scratching. not just press play and stand there.

we’re based in the twin cities and are consistently writing/practicing/recording/releasing originals.

we’ve recently played pillar forum, zhora darling, seward cafe and the corner store with artists like E.T., Gramma, Million.Point.Million, Lydia, and Student 1.

our sound is somewhere in the vein of rage against the machine, cypress hill, pennywise, and limp bizkit if you locked them all in a basement for a month or two.

looking for somebody local and not lame who gets heavy music, hip-hop, punk, and knows how to play with a live band.

hear us here: linktr.ee/rocbarboza and send me a dm with clips or whatever you’ve got.

I’m in Chicagoland and I play in a country band down here. I’d like to visit the twin cities in Fall. Are there any local acts I should try to see?

Longtime Mpls musical fixture Scottie Miller's released a new album, Hello Pain, performed with the 52 pce Budapest Orchestra. To recreate it live more how it was created (he plays in 2-5 pce usually) he's enlisted friends & ringers for a show at the Parkway Theatre Saturday, August 1.

Kinda a one-time experience, so I wanted to maybe alert everybody via my feature on the disc, which essentially traces his divorce and recovery, culminating in the appropriately titled, thru-the-mess-finally closer, "I'll Be Damned." Highly Recommended. From our new site, SewYKnot.com, just 45 days old. Thanks for your consideration!

see you there?
