From last.fm:
Sonic Boom is the stage name of Peter Kember (born 19 November 1965), a British musician. Kember and Jason Pierce (born on the same day in Rugby, Warwickshire) formed Spacemen 3 in 1985. Sonic Boom's first solo album, Spectrum, was recorded in 1989 while Spacemen 3 were still a going concern, and featured the other members of the group. However, by 1991 relations with Pierce had broken down, and while Pierce went on with the other members of Spacemen 3 to form Spiritualized, Kember recruited new musicians for the group Spectrum.

First Communion Afterparty
From Minneapolis
First show since since November 20, 2010 • First Mainroom show since April 24, 2009 • 85th show on MN Live's calendar since June 7, 2006
From last.fm:
First Communion Afterparty's music belongs to a distinct family: psychedelic rock. It's true: there is no other honest way to describe it. Their sound is built on psychedelic bands you've heard and some you haven't. There is nothing unfamiliar but there's a fresh personality behind it. Each song is an artful balance of dual guitars, bass, keyboard, tambourines, drums, floor tom and vocals from all over. Read more about First Communion Afterparty on Last.fm.
Cheval Sombre
From New York, New York
Only Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
Each of Cheval Sombre's songs is a sort of pacemaker. Lyrics crawl out of the vocalist's mouth forming a resounding anthem that doesn't march with climactic tension, but vibrates throughout the track with the unconscious nature of a heartbeat, softening the murmurs into a subtle rhythm.

Secret Colours
From Chicago, Illinois
First Twin Cities show since since October 4, 2012 • First Mainroom show • Fifth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since August 21, 2010
From last.fm:
What would west coast pop art experimentalism sound like filtered through an industrial midwest prism? No clue, but perhaps Secret Colours can shine some light on that. The newly minted Chicago quintet channels the finest in the greats of late '60s psychedelia, '90s newgaze reverence, and a touch of driving, bucolic, no frills RnR straight from the greasiest of garages. Secret Colours at their most beautiful help you to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Read more about Secret Colours on Last.fm.

Lightfoils
From Chicago, Illinois
First Twin Cities show since since June 25, 2011 • First Mainroom show
From last.fm:
The Lightfoils are a Chicago, Illinois (US) based dreampop, shoegaze group. Quoted from their facebook page: "Dubbed “lightfoils”, these wing objects are similar to airfoils, which make airplane wings well shaped and engineered and allow them to lift off the ground. Pressure from light creates lift for objects that refract light, like glass." ~ From Science Now Members include: Zeeshan Abbasi, guitar; Nicole Baksinskas, vocals; Cory Osborne, bass; John Rungger, drums; Adam Reade Thompson, guitar; and Neil Yodnane, guitar.

Panther Ray
From St Paul
First show since since June 17, 2013 • First Mainroom show • 18th show on MN Live's calendar since June 17, 2012
From last.fm:
Barely out of their teens, Panther Ray's Joey Johnson, Evan Kramer, Daniel Ries, and Andy Rockwood are childhood friends floating in place in time where the weird underground recording geniuses of the 60s and the 90s share a meal. Apparently that place is somewhere in the outer limits of their hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Instruments and vocal mics trade hands regularly as the four multi-instrumentalists celebrate a poly amorous cacophony of junk psychedelia, youth-powered garage rock, exuberant pop weirdness, and experimental studio wizardry.

From last.fm:
Flavor Crystals are a psychedelic shoegaze band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. After years of exploration and weirdness, they added bubbly liquid and jelloed into a real band, recording their debut album On Plastic as a document of the sleepy wobbly blurry dreamscape vibe they found together. Their second album, "Ambergris" was produced by recording legend Kramer and released by Second Shimmy Records on June 23, 2008. Read more about Flavor Crystals on Last.fm.
