From Minneapolis

From last.fm:
The Big Strong Men’s songs straddle the line between partying and resignation, bursting at the seams with ambivalence. It’s rock & roll primed for dancing but built for transcendence. People have said they sound like the Band, Ben Folds Five, the Cure, Herman’s Hermits, the Old 97’s, Phoenix, Steely Dan, They Might Be Giants, and Wilco. It depends on when you’re listening. The band recorded a little EP called Don’t Go Too Far that was released November 2010. Read more about The Big Strong Men on Last.fm.

From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since March 4, 2011 • First Fine Line show since February 25, 2010 • 46th Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since December 13, 2006
From last.fm:
Dragons Power Up! is a rock group from St. Paul, Minnesota, formed in 2005 by multi-instrumentalists Mike Coyne, Dan Ries, Mike Ries, and Chris Tures. In 2011, Coyne left DPU! and the music world under amicable circumstances, at which point longtime producer/friend Spencer Wirth-Davis (Big Cats!) offered his services as full-time bassist/collaborator/member. Each member drawing from his own corner of musical influences, their sound marries loose, noisy guitars with tightly-wound rhythm section and vocals atypical of today's indie rock landscape.
