Big Trouble
From St Paul
First show since since November 23, 2007 • First Varsity show • 14th show on MN Live's calendar since March 22, 2006
From last.fm:
Between 1990 and 1992, one band ruled the hard rock streets of Atlanta, GA… and that band was Big Trouble! Besides opening for such acts as Extreme, Skid Row, Bulletboys, and Jackyl (as well as many more), Big Trouble was selling out shows around the city and Southeast all by themselves. In two short years James Schmitt, Mike Wilkes, Dan Call, and Chuck Strawhand, created a massive fan base and rabid support in the area. Read more about Big Trouble on Last.fm.
Solid Gold
From Minneapolis
First show since since March 21, 2008 • First Varsity show since December 31, 2007 • 27th 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.
The Alarmists
From Minnesota
First Twin Cities show since since February 15, 2008 • First Varsity show since December 31, 2007 • 41st Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since February 12, 2006
Kid Dakota
From Minneapolis
First show since since February 9, 2008 • First Varsity show since October 6, 2006 • 25th show on MN Live's calendar since March 5, 2005
From last.fm:
Kid Dakota is, predictably, a band with roots in South Dakota. Darren Jackson, who migrated to Minneapolis (where he still resides) after college, built Kid Dakota's sound upon his mid-90's self-produced bedroom recordings. Eventually, he met drummer Christopher McGuire, and music began to flow. Kid Dakota's notoriety increased when the 5 song EP So Pretty caught the attention of Low's Alan Sparhawk.
