There's no guide or manual for what Mystery Palace does, no easy clockwork formula hidden in the Minneapolis based trio's agenda. Sequenced electronics plus live instruments offer a tough enough row to hoe on their own; when the former come from a pair of heavily circuit-bent Yamaha mid-pro keyboards, opportunities for disaster multiply exponentially. Luckily, so do opportunities for the sorts of disastrous successes the band enjoys regularly, largely thanks to founder Ryan Olcott's aptitude for riding his profusely toggle-switched brainchildren's outputs like a porn star.

Minneapolis based Black Blondie is a band in the purest sense of the word: the tightly knit four-piece unit collectively writes and performs all of their music. Black Blondie's daring frontwoman, Samahra, has the attitude and charisma of a punk rock diva. She has a voice that would serve any American Idol three times over but lyrics that shock with wit and intellect. You may be reminded of the poetic confessions of a Midwestern emo boy who makes you wanna rip your heart out and cradle it in your hand... Read more about Black Blondie on Last.fm.

Sounding much more Southern than they actually are, The Rockford Mules are a whiskey spittin', devil chasin', guitar grindin', band from Minneapolis. Mixing fuzzed up rock n' roll with slowed down blues licks, From Devil's Spit to Angel Tears is a debut album full of that typical gruff and grizzly swagger that all real rock bands used to have. And that's just what this four-piece are – a real rock band, all working jobs and living life outside of the band. Read more about The Rockford Mules on Last.fm.
