SUSSTONES SPRING BREAK 2007!






Susstones "Spring Break" 2007
Saturday - March 31
400 Bar - Minneapolis

The Melismatics
The Mood Swings
"unnanounced artists" (aka Ed Ackerson solo set)
Chrash Pipe


If you're anywhere near the West Bank of Mpls Saturday night, you really should be at the 400 Bar to catch an extremely rare solo appearance by Susstones guru / Polara mastermind Ed Ackerson. Ed will be playing some stuff from his upcoming solo release and, i'm here to tell ya, these tunes are effin' awesome. Not so much "solo" or "acoustic," but definitely not the layered, effect-laden "dream pop" of Polara or The 27 Various either. Ed's band will include ex-Jayhawk Marc Perlman and super-drummer Peter Anderson as well as a keyboardist and possible special guests. This is all part of the Susstones "Spring Break" wingding which also features The Melismatics (just back from SxSW) and The Mood Swings (who will be previewing material from their upcoming EP). Music starts at 9 or so; Ed goes on at 10:30. 6 bucks at the door - thongs optional.
