First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
June 14, 2010 was a big day for six high school/ college students in Vermillion, South Dakota. June 14, 2011 will be a bigger day. On the former, they decided to put off the next year of college, giving themselves 365 days to make a career out of rock n' roll. On the latter, Paradise Fears will release "Yours Truly," their debut full-length album, as one of the most potent and rapidly-growing young pop rock acts in the country.

The Usual Things
From Minneapolis
First show since since December 10, 2011 • First Varsity show • Seventh show on MN Live's calendar since March 2, 2010
From last.fm:
Led by singer/songwriter Aaron Shekey (pronounced she-key), The Usual Things mix power pop melodies with southern inspired story telling, reminiscent of their mid-western roots and big city aspirations. Shekey references his own blue-collar family experiences with relatable ambiguity; tales that push the simple, upbeat melodies of the band into surprisingly darker territory. “Incredible songs and solid musicianship without indie haircuts or too-tight pants. Please God, send more.” -Maximum Ink Read more on Last.fm
