From last.fm:
Speed’s the Name are interested in movement, so it’s no surprise the Minneapolis based band continues to move forward into their own world of visual rock with “Swell” - the second release from the group in just over a year. The band – Andy Bembridge (guitar), Ryan McNally (vocals), Scott McVeigh (bass), Peter Remiger (guitar) and Andrew Thornbrough (drums) came together in 2008 in the Twin Cities.

From last.fm:
National Bird was a Sydney, Australia based indie rock band active from 1999 to 2007. It featured Dileep Krishnayya (vocals & guitar) , Tobey Doctor (drums), and either zero, one or two bass players. The band's sound was influenced by indie rock bands such as Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill and the live shows were known for being loud, raucous and often drunken and chaotic affairs also. The band was originally named Laissez Faire but they changed the name after a line-up change and due to the numerous other bands also using that name. Read more about National Bird on Last.fm.
The Brutes
From Minneapolis
First show since since November 20, 2007 • First Hexagon show since November 17, 2007 • 11th show on MN Live's calendar since March 14, 2006
From last.fm:
Minnesota's The Brutes have cultivated their garage-influenced modern rock for about three years. Songs inspired by artists like The Kinks, David Bowie and The Strokes explore the underpinnings of the human condition, and how just beneath the civilized person lies a savage beast. The band's first self-release, The Brutes EP, included the song "This Science Works For Us", which was featured in the season one finale episode of MTV's The Jersey Shore. The band's follow-up full length album Wonderous Punch is currently on CMJ's Top 200 chart, with a forthcoming tour being planned for the spring. The Brutes on Last.fm.
