Solid Gold
From Minneapolis
First show since since February 21, 2009 • First Mainroom show since February 6, 2009 • 48th show on MN Live's calendar since January 13, 2006
From last.fm:
Hometown: Minneapolis. The lineup: Zac, Matt, Adam, Shon and Adam. Let’s get this out of the way up top: no, Solid Gold is not a syndicated top 40 countdown show which aired from 1980 to 1988 featuring the Solid Gold Dancers. But I could see the Solid Gold Dancers doing a fine routine to a couple of Solid Gold’s numbers—maybe the slinky “Bible Thumper,” or the dreamier “Who You Gonna Run To?” Read more about Solid Gold on Last.fm.

Jeremy Messersmith
From Minneapolis
First show since since January 10, 2009 • First Mainroom show since November 28, 2007 • 34th show on MN Live's calendar since September 25, 2006
From last.fm:
To call Jeremy Messersmith a musician is half-truth: He’s also a storyteller, who has carefully crafted a trilogy of songs that narrate life. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately struck a chord with critics and fans alike, and captured the attention of Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, who offered to produce Messersmith’s follow-up album, The Silver City.

First Communion Afterparty
From Minneapolis
First show since since March 7, 2009 • First Mainroom show since January 17, 2007 • 55th show on MN Live's calendar since June 7, 2006
From last.fm:
First Communion Afterparty's music belongs to a distinct family: psychedelic rock. It's true: there is no other honest way to describe it. Their sound is built on psychedelic bands you've heard and some you haven't. There is nothing unfamiliar but there's a fresh personality behind it. Each song is an artful balance of dual guitars, bass, keyboard, tambourines, drums, floor tom and vocals from all over. Read more about First Communion Afterparty on Last.fm.
