Night Moves
From Minneapolis
First show since since April 28, 2011 • First Triple Rock show • First show supporting a touring headliner since February 17, 2011 • 13th show on MN Live's calendar since September 5, 2010
From last.fm:
For such a patently American locale, the Twin Cities have lacked a remarkable group that evokes the American rock canon in a classic manner for a long time. Enter Night Moves. Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves is a distinctly original concoction. Their honey-dipped sound seethes with a kind of down-home tenderness -- and like the best glittering music -- the arrangements are colossal in shape. Night Moves’ powerful debut Colored Emotions is this Minneapolis group’s first album. Read more about Night Moves on Last.fm.

We Became Actors
From Minneapolis
First show since since May 28, 2011 • First Triple Rock show since May 7, 2010 • First show supporting a touring headliner since April 5, 2010 • 38th show on MN Live's calendar since November 30, 2006
From last.fm:
Originally forming in the fall of 2007, We Became Actors have a hard time standing still. They throw tambourines, clap hands, kick over cocktails. The latter on accident. Usually. Like a Sunday hangover, they're loud, bright and soaked in gin. They power through pop embellished with flourishes of delay and synthesizer. With the help of Darren Jackson (Kid Dakota, The Hopefuls), they recorded their debut, This Is Where We Stand, at Shortman Studio (Tapes n Tapes, Cloud Cult) for release Fall 2009.
