Solid Gold
From Minneapolis
First show since since January 29, 2010 • 57th show on MN Live's calendar since January 13, 2006
From last.fm:
Hometown: Minneapolis. The lineup: Zac, Matt, Adam, Shon and Adam. Let’s get this out of the way up top: no, Solid Gold is not a syndicated top 40 countdown show which aired from 1980 to 1988 featuring the Solid Gold Dancers. But I could see the Solid Gold Dancers doing a fine routine to a couple of Solid Gold’s numbers—maybe the slinky “Bible Thumper,” or the dreamier “Who You Gonna Run To?” Read more about Solid Gold on Last.fm.
Mark Mallman
From Minneapolis
First show since since December 31, 2009 • First Mainroom show since September 5, 2009 • 22nd show on MN Live's calendar since July 17, 2003
From last.fm:
Mallman began playing the piano at 3 years old. “I found a severe magnetism in pounding my fists on the thing.” His live performances are an unforgettable experience; approaching the keyboard like an electric guitar, lyrics like an existentialist writer, and the stage like a circus performer. In recent years, he’s has toured across America opening for such diverse acts as Guided by Voices, Beth Orton, Cat Power, Donovan, Tegan and Sara, Ozomatli, Everlast, Exene Cervenka, Howie Day, Cracker, and Chuck Prophet amongst many others.

Zoo Animal
From Minneapolis
First show since since January 28, 2010 • First Mainroom show • 26th show on MN Live's calendar since September 6, 2008
From last.fm:
Zoo Animal is a Minneapolis, MN band formed in January of 2008. It started from Holly Hansen’s (vocals, guitar) need for a bassist and drummer to perform her solo material. Long-time friend Tim Abramson obliged to play bass, and Al Swenson, a fellow community college student, agreed to play drums (Justin Korhonen has since become drummer) . As they played more, Holly became unsettled. They were playing material she wrote before the band and she felt a need and excitement to write songs specifically for this band to play, allowing them to pretty much shape their own parts.

Peter Wolf Crier
From Minneapolis
First show since since January 15, 2010 • Fourth show on MN Live's calendar since November 24, 2009
From last.fm:
It is not so much a sound as a spirit. You don't need to name it to know it or to trust it. From Minneapolis, MN Peter Wolf Crier's second album Garden of Arms is a document that paints a vivid portrait of all the pain and beauty of growth. Written with the at-home repose demanded by performing a hundred shows in six months, these eleven tracks were nurtured from their hushed origins with a new-found footing of confid...ence and experimentation.
