The Usual Things
From Minneapolis
First show since since November 21, 2013 • First Amsterdam show since September 9, 2013 • 16th 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
Small Cities
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since November 8, 2013 • First Amsterdam show since May 25, 2013 • 52nd Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since February 13, 2007
From last.fm:
The Small Cities formed in 2007 in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The band began as a three- piece (Leif, David, and Jimmy), but quickly saw the need to bring others into the fold. They released their self-titled EP in 2008, which cracked the CMJ top 200 and saw the band opening for the likes of The Besnard Lakes and Ladyhawk. Since the release of the EP, they made some new friends, bought new amps, and turned them up. Read more about The Small Cities on Last.fm.
