We Became Actors
From Minneapolis
First show since since December 3, 2011 • First Amsterdam show • 43rd 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.
