From last.fm:
Between 1990 and 1992, one band ruled the hard rock streets of Atlanta, GA… and that band was Big Trouble! Besides opening for such acts as Extreme, Skid Row, Bulletboys, and Jackyl (as well as many more), Big Trouble was selling out shows around the city and Southeast all by themselves. In two short years James Schmitt, Mike Wilkes, Dan Call, and Chuck Strawhand, created a massive fan base and rabid support in the area. Read more about Big Trouble on Last.fm.
Kid Dakota
From Minneapolis
First show since since December 3, 2009 • First Kitty Cat Klub show • 40th show on MN Live's calendar since March 5, 2005
From last.fm:
Kid Dakota is, predictably, a band with roots in South Dakota. Darren Jackson, who migrated to Minneapolis (where he still resides) after college, built Kid Dakota's sound upon his mid-90's self-produced bedroom recordings. Eventually, he met drummer Christopher McGuire, and music began to flow. Kid Dakota's notoriety increased when the 5 song EP So Pretty caught the attention of Low's Alan Sparhawk.

Fantastic Merlins
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since May 19, 2009 • First Kitty Cat Klub show • Third Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since October 23, 2008
From last.fm:
Listening to the Fantastic Merlins is like walking down an alley in a film noir: shadowy characters, ambiguous motives, and cliffhanger moments abound. Both dissonant and resonant, the Fantastic Merlins effortlessly weave together the dark and the light, the dangerous and innocent. Without any predetermined rules for the unexpected instrumentation of saxophone, cello, bass, and drums, the Fantastic Merlins’ cinematic sound coalesces organically. The result is an exquisite tension between jazz and chamber music, surprising listeners as often as it soothes. Read more about Fantastic Merlins on Last.fm.
