Help for Haiti!
Submitted by machen on Mon, 01/25/2010 - 11:40amIn the beginning of February there's two great opportunities to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. I can't even begin to describe the complete devastation the country has faced and I'm sure you're already well aware of it. But this is where we all need to step up and do what we can.

Missed the Best New Bands?
Submitted by machen on Mon, 01/18/2010 - 1:25pmIf you were a Lazy Larry or the dreaded Debbie Downer and stayed in this past Friday you missed quite the night. But luckily Gimme Noise and MPLS.TV have your back (just don't let it happen again next year!).
Andrea Swensson was in the house and caught all the hot action with First Avenue's Best New Bands of 2009. Check out some performances and interviews with the bands and hosts of the night.

I come bearing gifts. It's news that the Yeasayer show has been moved to the Mainroom. So if you missed out on tickets there will be plenty more. But don't wait too long, this one is sure to sell out!
All tickets that were purchased for the Varsity show will still be honored.
