From Minneapolis

From last.fm:
Ghost In The Water creates intimate, charming electronic pop, suspended between the twin poles of childlike enthusiasm and haunted memories. Like gazing upward at a star-filled sky while weighed down by the responsibilities of the everyday, their music is simultaneously uplifting and bruised with longing. Appearing on stage as a duo of husband and wife Nathan Tensen-Woolery and Mandy Tensen-Woolery, Ghost In The Water seeks partnership with a tangle of extension chords, synthesizers, samplers, guitars and vocal harmonies.

Mystery Palace
From Minneapolis
First show since since February 24, 2007 • First Varsity show • First show supporting a touring headliner since December 20, 2006 • 12th show on MN Live's calendar since March 24, 2006
From last.fm:
There's no guide or manual for what Mystery Palace does, no easy clockwork formula hidden in the Minneapolis based trio's agenda. Sequenced electronics plus live instruments offer a tough enough row to hoe on their own; when the former come from a pair of heavily circuit-bent Yamaha mid-pro keyboards, opportunities for disaster multiply exponentially. Luckily, so do opportunities for the sorts of disastrous successes the band enjoys regularly, largely thanks to founder Ryan Olcott's aptitude for riding his profusely toggle-switched brainchildren's outputs like a porn star.
