Heiruspecs
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since May 15, 2011 • First Grand Old Day show • 21st Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since November 16, 2006
From last.fm:
“We started out playing in high school in St. Paul to a crowd of hip-hop kids, thug kids, nerd kids and honor students,” Heiruspecs bassist Twinkie Jiggles says. “Eventually, the school paper wrote about us and said we were the best band out of Central High since Mint Condition. Then we played our first gig in Minneapolis when I was 15 and my dad showed up and smelled weed.” Not many bands lock into their sound in high school or manage to hang together for seven years, but Heiruspecs has and now the young 20-somethings are seasoned vets.

4onthefloor
From Minneapolis
First show since since June 3, 2011 • First Grand Old Day show • 36th 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.

Dead Man Winter
From Minneapolis
First show since since May 31, 2011 • First Grand Old Day show • 18th show on MN Live's calendar since August 15, 2009
From last.fm:
On a bleak, cold, frighteningly typical winter night in 2002, the last band I was in before Trampled by Turtles played our final show in a modified pizza restaurant-turned-venue in Duluth, Minnesota. The show ended, our band ended, glasses clinked cheers. We had plenty of help loading out our gear that night. So much, in fact, that someone walked away with my electric guitar and amp. They walked right passed the car where it was supposed to end up and went off into the frozen night Read more on Last.fm.
