From Minneapolis
First show since since January 13, 2012 • First Mainroom show • 16th show on MN Live's calendar since October 13, 2010
From last.fm:
Fire in the Northern Firs stitches together a darkly beautiful monster of psychedlelia, shoegaze, improvisational music that draws equally from Siouxsie Sioux and Mogwai, Dead Can Dance and Swans. Like the Bride of Frankenstein meets a belligerent wine-o meets Found Magazine. With Carin Barno (of First Communion After Party) on augmented vocals, guitarist Adam Kirsch (of Good Day, Montag) consistently harshing your buzz with walls o’ sound and galvanized histrionics...

Night Moves
From Minneapolis
First show since since January 6, 2012 • First Mainroom show since November 25, 2011 • 34th show on MN Live's calendar since September 5, 2010
From last.fm:
For such a patently American locale, the Twin Cities have lacked a remarkable group that evokes the American rock canon in a classic manner for a long time. Enter Night Moves. Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves is a distinctly original concoction. Their honey-dipped sound seethes with a kind of down-home tenderness -- and like the best glittering music -- the arrangements are colossal in shape. Night Moves’ powerful debut Colored Emotions is this Minneapolis group’s first album. Read more about Night Moves on Last.fm.
