Run Westy Run was formed in 1984 by 3 brothers from St. Louis Park, MN – Kirk, Kyle, and Kraig Johnson – along with Terry Fisher and Bob Joslyn, and were named after a 1966 children’s book of the same name. The “Westies”, as they soon became known, started out as an intensely chaotic, Stooge-y hard rock band, but later evolved into a hard-to-define amalgam of indie, rock, roots, punk, and funk, driven by a ferocious, lusty energy that infected any audience they came into contact with at one legendary live show after another. The Westies have released 3 studio LPs along with a handful of singles and EPs over the years – and there are at least a few albums worth of material that got lost along the way – but their enduring legacy is a well-earned reputation as one of finest live bands to ever come out of the Land of 10,000 Bands. 

 

Coma Club from Minneapolis is Christy Costello (Monica LaPlante, Pink Mink, Butchers Union, Von Bondies), Orion Treon (Extraterrestrials, Monica LaPlante), Monica LaPlante (Extraterrestrials, Christy Costello) and Austin Cecil (Extraterrestrials, Monica LaPlante, Christy Costello). You get four bands in one. Christy. Orion. Monica. Austin.

Emerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Pharmacy, Scott Yoder arrived clad in a black cloak, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of two LPs & half a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.
