| 29th Annual John Lennon Tribute First Avenue | Mon., December 8, 6:30pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 For the 29th time, the prodigious spirit of John Lennon will command the stage at First Avenue as alter-ego Curtiss A offers this year's installment of an extraordinary series of tributes reaching all the way back to that bleak night the former Beatle was gunned down outside his New York...

| Aaron Neville Grand Casino Hinckley | Sun., December 7, 6:00pm | ||
 You'll get little argument against the coronation of Aaron Neville as one of the smoothest singers to come out of New Orleans. It was evident from his first singles on the Minit label in the early '60s (including 1960's sinister yet sweetly-sung "Over You," his first R&B top 40 hit), carrying... More >> |

| Aunt Dracula; Unicorn Basement; Chickadee Mountain Martyrs Turf Club | Tue., December 9, 9:00pm | Midway/Frogtown | |
| More like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde than any kind of vampire, Aunt Dracula weaves a monster mash of genres. The Philadelphians quickly melt from discordant pop, sounding like evangelicals bouncing notes off a funhouse mirror, into spazzy noise freak-outs, complete with werewolf howls only... More >> | |||
| Dallas Orbiter; Build My Gallows High; Dante & the Lobster Hexagon Bar | Thu., December 4, 9:00pm | Seward/Longfellow/Minnehaha | |
 Local reviews have described Dallas Orbiter as a psychedelic, spaced-out group of retrogazers. And while there is certainly some degree of substance to those labels, the quintet can't be defined by hippie banter alone. There's a wealth of tracks from this year's Motorcycle Diagrams that...

| Gretchen Wilson Myth | Fri., December 5, 7:00pm | Maplewood | |
 Contemporary, radio-friendly country has become a whole lot sunnier and well, let's face it, blonder all over again since Gretchen Wilson crossed critics' lines and became a redneck darling and breakout star with her album Here for the Party (Sony) in 2004, a time when the genre needed her... More >> |
|||
| Mavis Staples Guthrie Theater | Mon., February 2, 7:30pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The powerful, gospel-drenched voice of Mavis Staples conjures up an encyclopedic array of gritty howls, soulful moans, striking melismas, urgent whispers, and fervent cries that originate in the depths of her soul. They're also fueled by a lifetime of singing songs that have provided hope and... More >> |
|||
| Romantica Fine Line Music Cafe | Sat., December 6, 8:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 In this economic climate, it's an especially fine testament to a band's appreciation for its fans that it puts on a free show, or, scratch that, free shows. Romantica doesn't need to have free shows. People will and do pay to see them. Yet for the second time in recent memory the local lovelies... More >> |

| Sam Keenan; Molly Dean 331 Club | Wed., December 3, 9:30pm | Northeast | |
 Following a late-November date in Dubuque, Iowa, Minneapolis's Sam Keenan is returning home to play the 331 Club Wednesday night. Since releasing All the Dark Colored Markers Went Dry (Draw Fire) this spring, Keenan has played a diverse selection of shows in support of the album, including this... More >> |

| Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Pantages Theatre | Tue., December 2, 7:30pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 A human dynamo who at age 50 has more electrifying energy than entire—hell, multiple—bands a fraction her age, Sharon Jones may not have Tina Turner's legs, as she says, but she's sure got the voice, the spirit, and the moves. Only in the last few years has Jones, after hooking up... More >> |
|||
| Sissy Wish; ZibraZibra; Mystery Palace; Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapelles The Varsity Theater | Fri., December 5, 8:30pm | University | |
 Sissy Wish look like Crystal Castles with more fabric stretched across their bones and sound like the Sounds with a lower disco factor. The Norwegian duo, at times consumed with glitchy bliss, will moments later pop beats begging to be an indie hip-hop winter slammer. Sharing the bill are... More >> |

| SOLD OUT: AC/DC Xcel Energy Center |
Sun., November 23, 7:30pm more dates/times |
||
 If you need to be reminded that AC/DC is a rock 'n' roll band in one of its purest forms, you have a problem and should seek medical attention from your local rock doctor. And while their output of the last 15 years has been mostly satisfactory, with a smattering of occasionally awesome... More >> |

| Cheetah Nunchuck Downtime Bar | Every week Thursday, 10:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Imagine the Seven Samurai, except instead of being assembled to protect an impoverished village from a band of crazed, bloodthirsty raiders, they're put together to provide the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul with old-school turn-of-the-'70s funk a'la the Meters and the J.B.'s. That's Cheetah... More >> |
|||
| III Kings Sound System Nomad World Pub | Every week Wednesday, 8:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Anyone can throw on a red-green-and-gold ensemble, guzzle Red Stripe after Red Stripe and natter on about how they had a real deep experience getting zooted to a midnight showing of The Harder They Come, but to actually make your way as a Selector, well, that's another thing entirely. For over... More >> |

| Jazz Implosion Turf Club | Every week Monday, 9:00pm | Midway/Frogtown | |
 Every Monday night, troves of jazz aficionados and music geeks descend to the basement of the Turf Club for an event lovingly referred to as Jazz Implosion. Usually featuring the three members of Fat Kid Wednesdays (saxophonist Michael Lewis, bassist Adam Linz, and drummer JT Bates) and... More >> |

| Lucero; the Evening Rig Triple Rock Social Club | Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., December 5 until Sat., December 6, 9:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 This might be an affront, but there is something very Goo Goo Dolls about the Memphis band Lucero, which is playing two nights this weekend in celebration of the Triple Rock's 10th anniversary. Now, look, there's nothing wrong with that. Remember that song "Iris"? Maybe not, but you definitely... More >> |

| Switchbladecomb.com Record Party Uptown Bar & Cafe | Every week Monday, 9:00pm | Uptown/Eat Street | |
 "No Eagles. No Phil Collins. No Bummers." That's the motto of the dance night put on every Monday at the Uptown Bar by the folks at indie-centric pop culture blog Switchblade Comb, and to be honest it's a pretty open-ended one. Everybody who considers themselves a music geek tries to boost... More >> |
|||
| Too Much Love First Avenue | Every week Saturday, 10:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 Few people know more about dance music and its history in Minneapolis than Dory Kahale, who has more aliases than Cybil if she were a chat-room perv. Known as DJ Apollo (techno), Ralph Laurenn (booty house), Cocaine on Her Dress (indie electro), and now breathing new life into the Dirty... More >> |
|||
| Transmission Clubhouse Jager | Every week Wednesday, 10:00pm | Minneapolis (Downtown) | |
 The hundred-year-old space at 923 Washington Avenue North cleans up real nice. Once an intimidating dive bar frequented by the flashing lights of cop cars, the place was recently rechristened Club Jäger and given a makeover to put America's Next Top Model to shame. The overhaul includes a... More >> |
|||
| Vinyl Venus' Space Lounge 331 Club | Every week Tuesday | Northeast | |
 All the Pretty Horses singer Venus De Mars has spent much of her career advocating for the notion of gender as a flexible construct -- so it shouldn't be a surprise that her DJ sets tend to do the same for genre as well. Her long-running DJ night has proven to be a popular postscript for the... More >> |
