hosted by Toki Wright

$8 advance / $10 door / 9PM-2AM / 18+

And if the idea of spending your last night on earth at First Ave isn’t enough, there will be a “Countdown ‘til Death” Timer, a balloon drop, confetti cannons, a wall where you can write your last requests, and at least a few drunk people who will actually start freaking out around midnight.

RSVP ON FACEBOOK IF YOU’RE INTO THAT

// Download: Minneapolis Christmas songs (!!!!!)//

Every year it’s the same old Christmas songs, and yes—they get old. I’ll admit it, I’m sick of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”! SICK OF IT! 

But this year something amazing has happened. The crew over at Waterbury Studios has put together not one, but TWO fantastic new Christmas songs—AND THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS. ERMAHGERD. They’re only $1 each, so pay the $2 on bandcamp and get two hometown Christmas songs that will make your holiday festivities infinitely better.

Song breakdown:

1. Christmas in Minneapolis—feat. Big Cats, The Chalice, Chris Hooks, Eric Blomquist, and Sarah Morris

2. Sledding Down First Avenue—feat. Jake Scherer, Michael Bland, Ian Allison, Ian Combs, and James Harley

// The Tribe & Big Cats! - DMT Flow//

The Tribe & Big Cats! just released this video for “DMT Flow,” the first track off their new album “Space” which you can cop for free on Soundcloud. Go get it, these guys are about to blow up.

I had the chance to go to this music video shoot, where directors Isaac Gale and David Jensen were also filming a video for local dubstep artist Vaski, and it was one of the most ridiculous days this summer. Who wouldn’t want to check out and drive a bunch of tanks?

While I was there I took a bunch of 35mm pictures, which you can see in posts below. Watch out for the Vaski video coming soon - we’ll definitely post it here.
