| 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... 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 condense... 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 >>

| 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 locals... 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 singles,... 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 >>

| 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 >>
