ROY FREEDOM

Roy Freid - one of First Av's original DJs dating back to Uncle Sam's - was the heart and soul of MF, guiding the night through its seven+ year run, breaking the newest funk, rap and R&B to hungry Twin Cities clubbers. It was NBD to see Prince, Jimmy Jam and other Minneapolis Sound wizards regularly slip Roy their latest creations in a funky undercover stakeout to gauge how the MFers would gravitate to a hit that had yet to be lit. "Erotic City," on a hot July 1984 night, is just one of those many future funk faves that made its debut at MF.

LIKEHELL

Seeing LIKEHELL perform live is like being at a party in Hollywood’s underground. It’s 4 a.m. The dark and brooding are mixing with the mischievous and wild. The beautiful walk among the depressed. It’s a blur of all things carnal, experimental, glamorous and psychotic. Around every corner is another mesmerizing scene, another form of satiation, another potential explosion.

BRUISE VIOLET

Bruise Violet is a young grunge punk band, made up of the members Emily, Bella, and Danielle. Deriving their sound from the roots of the Riot Grrrl movement, the girls are loud and angry, while wearing dresses and looking as feminine as possible on stage. They add their own twist with three part harmonies on top of the loud riffs playing. It's like Broadway meets Bikini Kill.
