Masked Intruder
From Madison, Wisconsin
First Twin Cities show since since July 10, 2013 • First Varsity show • Fifth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since August 15, 2012
From last.fm:
WHO: Well, ya see, that depends on who’s askin’. Nobody likes a squealer and snitches get stitches, am I right?! We got four masked men: Blue (self-described “hopeless romantic” and probably the brains behind the operation), Red (said to be a “loose cannon”, plays drums, the wheelman), Yellow (the “heart breaker” that plays bass, so you know he’s a goon), and Green (renowned “wild man” and extra nasty due to a short guy complex).

Get Dead
From San Francisco, California
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
From San Francisco comes Get Dead. Born out of several CA based acts in 2007, this five-piece was drawn together by their appeal to jaw-gnashing, punk infused rock and roll riffs. With their driven, no frills approach to punk music and commitment to face-pealing shows, they have garnered a dedicated fan base that's eager for more. With three releases under their belt Get Dead is hitting the ground running and already have another acoustic record, and electric album in the works. get dead on Last.fm.
