Farewell, Uptown Bar!

Minneapolis' historic Uptown Bar is closing at the end of the month, and we're proud to be heavily represented on the final week's calendar.

First, The Evening Rig will headline a free show on Tuesday, October 27 along with Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo. (View the Facebook event page here)

On the following night (Wednesday, October 28), Chooglin' is part of a six band bill that also includes Me and My Arrow, Story of the Sea, Speed's the Name, Death Cube, and Alicia Wiley. This one is free if you arrive before 9 PM, and $6 if you show up later.

Finally, The Hawaii Show and friends host the grand finale on Sunday, November 1. Not sure about the cover on this one, but we can promise some unannounced guests. Be there!
