HAPPY 5-0 B-RAD the Ranger! Not a bad-looking bunch considering a collective 196 years of age - and that’s including 196 Minnesota winters, woof! 🥶

You are truly 1:1 , and we are legit to have you in our lives. THANK YOU for ALL that you do for us and ALL the bands for which you “work” (in quotes because you refuse to be paid for your tireless, selfless efforts) in MPLS and across the upper Midwest. Stoked to see what kinda RAD adventures the next half-century has in store for ya! 🎂

📸 courtesy of the absolutely amazing 🙏 - these were taken at last wknd’s B-Gunn b-day bash at ! Super sicc vertical live shots coming 🔜

IN ONE MONTH we play the venerable w some of our tightest bros evar in + , but that’s not ALL … stay ‘til the end for a special BONUS set featuring members of ALL three bands paying tribute to THE POLICE (the band, not the bogus law enforcement agency) - it’ll be a RAD party + we hope to see you ALL there!

SATURDAY: join us at Pilllar FORUM Café & Bar alongside ExactlyNo, Johnnyrook + Drown The Lifeguard as we celebrate 50 years of Brad Gunnarson being the baddest (and most selfless) mf in the Minnesota music scene!

For those not in the know, Brad basically does EVERYTHING for us - graphic design, photography, video, social media promo, vinyl pressing, merch design + ordering, merch sales at shows, digital distribution, banner hanging …

But that’s not all … Brad does the same for scores of MN bands (including ALL the bands we’re in like ALIGN, Two Harbors, Dead History + all the bands listed above and so many, many more) and he NEVER asks for anything in return. He’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes team player and we’d be totally screwed without his tireless efforts. He’s the 5th owl, the 6th man, the unsung MVP, the GOAT - and just a really nice fella to boot.

So come help us raise a glass to the man who makes everything go, and support a space (Pillar FORUM) that has been a cornerstone of the NE MPLS community, and a bastion of HOW YOU MF DO IT during the ICE occupation. Give your money to businesses who actually care about ALL of us!

On our end of the deal, we promise to play our gd guts out - some new stuff, some recently unearthed old stuff, a ripping cover tune we're GEEKED about ... plus it’s our first MPLS show in over 4 months, so you know we’re ALL fired 🆙

NOTE: early show - ALL AGES!
