The Detroit Cobras
From Detroit, Michigan
First Twin Cities show since since May 7, 2009 • Fifth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since August 29, 2007
From last.fm:
The Detroit Cobras are a cover band who specialise in versions of Motown, soul and '50s rock and roll standards, played in the garage rock/punk blues style. In contrast to cover bands that attempt to re-create the original, The Detroit Cobras use material from the past and shape it into fresh, original garage rock versions. The resulting sound is rock & roll roots packed with modern garage rock energy. Read more about The Detroit Cobras on Last.fm.
Girl in A Coma
From San Antonio, Texas
First Twin Cities show since since September 14, 2010 • First Varsity show • Sixth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since June 29, 2008
From last.fm:
San Antonio’s Girl In A Coma have left a permanent tattoo on the hearts of thousands with their piercing songs and nuclear performances. They’ve blazed a singular trail since Nina Diaz joined the band at age 13 and have found champions and comrades along the way including Joan Jett who signed them, Morrissey, Sia, Tegan and Sara, The Pogues and Amanda Palmer who have hand selected them for tours. In addition, Robert Rodriguez asked them to compose one of the key songs for his film Machete last year. Read more about Girl in a Coma on Last.fm.
