April 04, 2024 by Dan DeMarco in Podcast

March 15th 2024 at the very cool Cloudland Theater in Minneapolis, local musician Dylan Ritchie hosted the annual Grant Hart Tribute Night. Grant Hart was part of the legendary Minnesota Punk-Rock Trio, Hüsker Dü. Spearheading the Minnesota punk/hardcore sound of the 1980s, the band rose to prominence as college radio and alternative rock was making inroads into the mainstream. The band burned brightly but all-too briefly. In its wake, however, Hüsker Dü carved out a spot in music history. Influencing legions of bands, helping shape the 1990s rock scene.

Bob Mould, Homecoming (Kinda) Cedar and Turf Club, October 2023

December 11, 2023 by Dan Michener in Concert Review, Concert Photography

You wouldn’t know Bob Mould was playing a solo electric set. There was just this massive wall of sound coming at the audience. It was so on-point and direct. He was a one-man wrecking machine. Super engaging with the audience, gracious and funny. The Turf Club is just a stone’s throw down the street from a music store (now a hair salon) where Husker Du started out—playing in the basement after the store closed for the night. And a little south is Macalester College, where a young Bob Mould went to college.
