Supreme Cuts are a Chicago based electronic duo.

Zoo Animal
From Minneapolis
First show since since July 10, 2012 • First Cabooze show • 81st show on MN Live's calendar since September 6, 2008
From last.fm:
Zoo Animal is a Minneapolis, MN band formed in January of 2008. It started from Holly Hansen’s (vocals, guitar) need for a bassist and drummer to perform her solo material. Long-time friend Tim Abramson obliged to play bass, and Al Swenson, a fellow community college student, agreed to play drums (Justin Korhonen has since become drummer) . As they played more, Holly became unsettled. They were playing material she wrote before the band and she felt a need and excitement to write songs specifically for this band to play, allowing them to pretty much shape their own parts.
