Awolnation
From California
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
AWOLNATION is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, and is the solo project of Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under The Influence of Giants and Hometown Hero. The Sail Songfacts reports that Bruno used to leave high school without saying goodbye to his friends because it was easier, so they used to nickname him 'Awol' (absence without leave). When Bruno decided to form his own band, he decided to name it after his high school moniker. The band is signed to Red Bull Records, and their first EP, Back From Earth, was released on iTunes on May 18, 2010. They have performed with Weezer and MGMT. Read more about AWOLNATION on Last.fm.
Middle Class Rut
From Sacramento, California
First Twin Cities show since since September 16, 2011 • First Varsity show • Third Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since March 21, 2010
From last.fm:
Middle Class Rut play a visceral brand of alternative rock that echoes the intensity of Jane's Addiction and Refused, the pummeling backbone of Rage Against The Machine and the anthemic post-punk core of The Foo Fighters. Only in their mid-20s, Middle Class Rut, consisting of Zack Lopez (guitar/vocals) and Sean Stockham (drums/vocals), are already veteran musicians; both guys were core members of Leisure, which was signed to DreamWorks back in 2000 when Sean and Zack were just in their early teens.
