The Yuppies
From Omaha, Nebraska
Only Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
"Nebraska’s Yuppies’ mix of fuzzed-out garage rock and late 70’s punk, combined with a distinctly lo-fi aesthetic, has seen them christened with the Shitgaze tag by some, indeed they were once referred to as ‘Psychedelic Horseshit fucking Thomas Function while Times New Viking plays on the stereo and TV Ghost hide in the closet and watch.’ Whilst this gives an idea of the band’s contemporaries, Yuppies are too enthusiastically awkward to be pigeon-holed into any one scene and on their side they navigate everything from sprawling post-punk to stumbling anti-folk, often within the same song.

49 square miles. Water on three sides. Two bridges. And one champion of power pop -- The Real Numbers. With the release of their debut album, Welcome to the Numberhood, the songwriting duo of Dave Ambrose and Lawrence Grodeska have found their sweet spot. After years pursuing separate musical endeavors that spanned the musical map, the pair met in 2008 through the digital wilds of Craigslist. Grinding it out in their geek day jobs, both dreamed of a new project to achieve the same musical vision -- part power pop, part quirky melodic rock, always tight, always tasty.
