A Tribute To The Replacements
Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Let It Be and the paperback release of "The Replacements: All Over But The Shouting"
A Benefit for the Twin Cities Music Community Trust
“...the wonderfully open-souled LET IT BE is their masterpiece.”
- Spin Magazine
“This is a brilliant rock & roll album: as loose as it is deliberate, as pretty as it is hard rocking and as pissed off at all the right things...as it is hilarious...”
- Rolling Stone
The Replacements last album for Twin/Tone before signing with Sire, 1984's LET IT BE is widely hailed as not just one of the group's career best, but also as an across the boards alt-rock masterpiece. It is anchored by the all-time 'Mats' classics “I Will Dare,” “Androgynous,” “Sixteen Blue,” “Unsatisfied” and “Answering Machine,” and definitive performances throughout by the band's legendary founding line-up: lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Paul Westerberg, Chris Mars (drums) and brothers Bob and Tommy Stinson (guitar and bass, respectively).
With Special Guests
GOSPEL GOSSIP
Gospel Gossip is four-piece rock band based in Northfield, MN. They released their debut album in December of 2007 on Minneapolis label Guilt Ridden Pop, which received critical praise and drew a wide range of comparisons from post-punk to shoegaze.
JEREMY MESSERSMITH
Drawing from classic songsters like Brian Wilson to basement recording mavericks like Elliot Smith, Jeremy Messersmith writes small, thoughtfully crafted songs. Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jeremy's latest record, The Alcatraz Kid, features memorable lyrics and irresistible melodies in a bargain basement wrapper.
THE HARD LEFT
"The Hard Left hail from Minneapolis, and they have the garage power-pop sound the area is known for (i.e., The Mats). This release is an 8-track mini-CD thats all killer, no filler with the top tracks being "Lover Girl", "Who Shes Gonna Turn To" and "Take It Out On Me"....If Steven Van Zandt isnt featuring these guys on his Underground Garage, its probably because he hasnt heard them yet." Absolute Powerpop
