THE BORED VIRTUAL GIG

March 27, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Virtual Gig

Hailing from the Twin Cities of Minnapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, The Bored are half classy, half sassy, and half trashy. The Bored were born in 2018 and draw influence from The Replacements, Spencer Davis Group, The Jayhawks, and Low Cut Connie. They have become darlings of the Big Turn Music Festival and played every dive in the cities. You don’t have to dress-up, but they would prefer if you did.

March 16, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

Ostensibly named after a deadly Australian Outback snake, Minneapolis two-piece King Brown loose a fevered hunger with the unhinged attack to match. In the vein of many notable blues based duos, Alex Ashmun pulls double duty, singing and riffing over drummer Aaron Esnough's propulsion.
