Andy and I will be playing an acoustic show at the Loring Pasta Bar Red Room’s Acoustic Tuesday. Doors at 6, us at 8:15. There’s a $5 cover that also entitles you to bring a friend (so $5/pair of people).

Loring Pasta Bar
327 14th Av. SE.
Minneapolis, MN 55414

6:00 – Art Vandalay
6:45 – Heidi Hansen
7:30 – A Touch Of Grace
8:15 – Ben & Andy (of the substars)
9:00 – Ben Cook-Feltz

There’s a parking lot on 13th Ave SE and 5th St SE that is $3 after 5PM, or you can try your luck with the valets or meters. Also, bring any student IDs you might have to get 30 percent off a menu item.

Update: Andy says there’s free parking after 8PM in the 4th Street Ramp, which is a mere two blocks from the Loring. While we encourage you to show up before 8, it’s not a bad option if you insist on cutting it close.

We’re part of the DEMO weekly showcase at Acadia. Music at 7:30 and a $5 cover.

7:30PM Jon Manners
8:15PM Jim Pellinger duo
9:00PM The Moonrunners

Acadia’s got food and good beer and stuff, too, FYI.

Free Parking is available 150ft North of Acadia on the East side of Nicollet Ave.
Additional parking weekday evenings (after 6pm) and all day on weekends in the Loring Nicollet lots.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Monday’s show. It was great to see all of you, and hopefully you all had as much fun as I did. Jonathan and Trumpet Marine both put on great shows, and I managed to not electrocute myself despite spilling water all over a plugged-in power strip. That’s what I call a good night. I’ll post some pictures once I see if we got any good ones and actually get around to giving the site a more substars-y look and feel.

For those who didn’t come, we played eight songs and they were all flawless in both composition and execution. Don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. Also, I’m out of CDs, but maybe I’ll make some more if there is interest, so feel free to inquire anyway.

In any case, look for us to play some shows this summer. I’ll keep you posted whether you like it or not.
