As some of you Twin Citians may know, the Susstones record label (Polara, Faux Jean, Melismatics, etc.) has a DJ event every Tuesday night at the Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis where a host of DJs - including Ed Ackerson - spin a wide variety of very cool music.
Next Tuesday (6/29), Susstones will be offering up "SUSSED-TACULAR!" a special live music event featuring:
The Mood Swings -- a hard rockin' power-fuzz trio who have been ripping up local stages recently. Special "celebrity" bassist for this performance only.
The Melismatics -- one of the best live acts currently performing in the upper Midwest. If you like the first two Cheap Trick albums (pre-Budokan), you'll go nuts over these guys. A special "acoustic" performance.
David Poe -- everybody's fave Lower East Side pop bobo, this talented and charismatic sweetie always puts on a great show and is a major FOJ (friend of the Jayhawks) to boot. Rare acoustic performance featuring new material from his superb upcoming album "Love is Red."
Sideways -- This is Ed Ackerson's futuristic / retro side project, an instrumental combo that will be playing tunes from 2002’s excellent Sideways CD, “Oblivion and Points Beyond.” Blending several ‘60s genres (mod, pysch, R&B, acid rock, Brit blues, spy film soundtracks), with Ackerson’s unique vision and always superb axe work, a Sideways show is like getting lost in the world’s best record collection circa 1968. This will be an extremely rare live outing -- only the third public Sideways performance ever. And check out the killer band: Peter Anderson and Kraig Johnson (who play alongside Ackerson in The Program), keyboardist Tim Oseau and former Jayhawks roadie, Blake Hurlbert on percussion. Completing the trip will be interactive visuals from CoLab.
Also: the usual “Sussed” DJ sets before and after the music plus a strong likelihood of a “special guest” or two or three.
Doors at 9:30; music from 10pm-midnite in the intimate confines of the Bryant Lake Bowl Theater (capacity <100). Located in the heart of Lyn-Lake on Lake St., a block west of Lyndale (and just a few blocks east of Uptown). Tickets will be cheap ($5 or less).
