From last.fm:
Portugal. The Man is an experimental indie rock four-piece centered on frontman John Baldwin Gourley’s abstract musical approach and corresponding upbringing. He was raised in a sort of technological isolation: his log cabin home in the winter wasteland of the fringes of Wasilla, Alaska was powered by a generator and had no telephone. Both of his parents helped completely immerse him in the unique lifestyle that comes with a land of seasonal darkness and perpetual cold with their jobs as dog sled mushers. Read more about Portugal.

The Dig
From New York, New York
First Twin Cities show since since November 9, 2009 • First Varsity show
From last.fm:
"New York quartet The Dig have been building some buzz from their first two full-lengths of ’80s shoegaze-inspired rock. It’s a Cure-meets-T. Rex sound that utilizes dark keyboards, with enough reverb to drown Robert Smith. The band’s newest release, arriving just a year after Midnight Flowers, is the Tired Hearts EP, which continues to hone their shadowy sound." - Consequence of Sound Read more about The Dig on Last.fm.
