Well, it's a little tough to get the wheels turnin' this morn, thanks to the successful Mood Swings/Mercurial Rage CD listening party last nite at Brit's Pub in dt Mpls. A good time was had by all -- the ragers and the swingers combined forces for a supercool socio-musical event in the new "Clubhouse Bar" at Brit's, a world-class addition to an already top notch facility. Great food + great libations + great people + great tunes + great swag = one hella good time. For sure.
There were many musical highlights -- great sets from DJs Christian Fritz & Dalida and Sussed vet DJ "The Guv'nor" plus, of course, the new releases from Mercurial Rage and The Mood Swings spun in their entirety. But the biggest surprise was the world premiere of the first new Sideways track in many a blue moon. Sideways/Polara sidekick "Knobby" was in the house and hinting that everybody should stick around for a "surprise." Well, lo and behold, the surprise was a hot-off-the-desktop new Sideways concoction -- a kickin' instrumental version of labelmates The Mood Swings' classic "Come On Tell Me," done up in patented Sideways futuro-retro-mod-rock stylee. Uber cool if you ask me.
This bodes very well for the next Sideways live appearance -- always a rare treat in its own right -- at the Mood Swings' CD Release Party on 6/15 at the Hex.
