The Keep Aways have performed at the Homegrown Music Festival in Duluth, Minnesota and the North vs. South Music Festival. In 2004 and 2006, the Keep Aways were nominated for "Best Punk Band" by the Minnesota Music Awards. The Keep Aways' importance stems from their post-riot grrrl music and notably being one of the most straight up, real bands out of Duluth, Minnesota among peers and national acts Low, Black Eyed Snakes, Haley Bonar, Charlie Parr, and If Thousands not to mention Minnesota itself.
