Freaking out a little right now!

ASDKFJSADKFJLKJF9#$&())__^$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out that my favorite new band, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, will be in town for a show November 29th!!! Sure, it is the same day as the Vikings/Bears game, but I don't care - I can't wait to see these guys. I have left several messages on the band's Myspace page, merely suggesting that they make a stop in Minneapolis on their tour. My wishes were granted - they are coming!!!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is the new project from Alex Ebert. You may recognize his name from the band Ima Robot. They are on tour in support of their new album "Up From Below" which I would like to point out is the BEST album I have bought in months. Easily since Deer Tick's self titled release in June.

Sunday, November 29th 2009 - Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeros with special guests Fools Gold and Local Natives - this is an 18+ show

See you at the show!!! I am going to buy my Varsity Theater tickets for this show asap! I can't wait!

This news has made my day - that and the Twins won the first game in their double header today!.

Owl City at the Cabooze?

One of my favorite acts to see at the Varsity, Owl City, appears to have abandoned it in the dust. Owl City is playing at the Cabooze instead of the Varsity this month. I am not sure why there was a venue change this time, both the Cabooze and the Varsity hold the same amount of people. Like all Owl City shows this past year, the show is sold out. Owl City tickets are hard to find, so you may need to exhaust all of your options to get a ticket.

The Cabooze is an ok place to see a show, it is just kind of layed out funny. I am keeping my fingers crossed that someday Owl City will play at First Avenue, where Owl City tickets may not be as difficult to find - First Avenue holds 1200 people!

Don't let the Cabooze scare you away - the show will be great!

Check out Owl City's music on their Myspace page!!

See you at the show!



Don't miss Owl City, Saturday, September 26th at the Cabooze

Flyleaf at the Varisty!

You may have heard of Flyleaf on the radio if you are an avid 93X listener. Well they are going to be playing a soon to be sold out show at the Varsity Theater this fall. Flyleaf are known for their debut album "Flyleaf" which included their singles: "I'm So Sick", "Fully Alive," and "All Around Me."

Varsity Theater tickets for Flyleaf go on sale this Saturday, September, 19th. Paper Tongues will open the show, and the show is all ages. If Flyleaf is a band you want to see be sure to buy your Varsity Theater tickets as soon as possible, I am pretty sure this show will sell out.

Flyleaf is Monday, November 9th - so there will be no parking issues, the Varsity Theater is definitely an area of town you will want to avoid when there is a Gopher game!
