Mood Swings / Strange Lights / Mercurial Rage -- Hot show this Friday!




Now here's a reason to leave the house in the sixth month of Perma-Winter in Minnesota -- a f**king kick-ass rock show! All the buzz this Friday is focused on the mighty Black Keys and their sold-out show in the First Ave. mainroom, but next door in the Entry is a truly impressive lineup: 80s electro-revivalists Mercurial Rage, Susstones poppunkrock aces The Mood Swings (pssst! don't tell anyone, but the girls are working on some very cool new stuff in the studio) and one of the best pysch/rock bands to hit the scene in a long time, Strange Lights. If the set timing goes right, The Mood Swings should hit the stage during the break in the mainroom. This is a night not to be missed -- so much great music that it has to be spread out over two rooms.
