Sick of Sarah
From Minneapolis

From last.fm:
Sick Of Sarah began in Minneapolis, MN in April 2005 as an all-female band with catchy hooks, unique lyrics and thoughtful, well-crafted music. The band displays talent, passion, and an ever-present sense of humor that shapes many of their songs. They combine sympathetic acoustic moments with driving electric rock, often in the same song. With influences ranging from John Fogerty to Joan Jett, Sleater-Kinney to Vanessa Carlton, Sick Of Sarah brings an energy and blended alternative pop-rock style that has listeners singing along after the first chorus.

The Hounds Below
From Michigan
First Twin Cities show since since January 25, 2013 • First Amsterdam show • Sixth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since July 26, 2010
From last.fm:
In their song “Chelsea's Calling’ vocalist Jason Stollsteimer sings out on top of angular post-punk guitar tones and house party-esque drums, “We can't stay for ever, but we'll spend the night”. This line seems to sum up the general attitude of this four piece rock outfit. With a sound born out of Midwestern hearts and oceanic dreams , The Hounds Below aims to bring quality and pureness to the independent music scene in order to impact all who hear their recordings or witness their high energy live shows.
