Tommy Stinson (born Thomas Eugene Stinson, 6 October, 1966 in Minneapolis, USA), currently a member of Guns N' Roses, was one of the founding members of the legendary 1980s alternative band The Replacements. Just 12 years old when he joined, Stinson played bass for The Replacements until their breakup in 1991. He then formed the short-lived bands Bash & Pop who in 1993 released one album Friday Night Is Killing Me and then later, Perfect, who released an EP in 1996 titled When Squirrels Play Chicken. In 1997 their album Seven Days a Week was shelved due to record company problems. Read more about Tommy Stinson on Last.fm.
The 4onthefloor
From Minneapolis
First show since since May 13, 2011 • First Mainroom show • First show supporting a touring headliner since January 22, 2011 • 33rd show on MN Live's calendar since July 16, 2009
From last.fm:
The 4onthefloor’s new album, Spirit Of Minneapolis, evokes the spirit of American rebellion. That same pioneering spirit that brought us everything from modern aviation to rock & roll. Harnessing that spirit, the band is using it to break down modern music’s barriers down to our basic musical traditions. That ageless sound of rock & roll isn’t what it used to be, but the rumble of stomping feet emanating from Minneapolis is an omen of great things on the horizon.
