My name is Dave, and I grew up in Minnesota listening to the many punk & hard core bands that I'm featuring here. More important though, is that I'm not just posting the stuff that like, but I'm making an attempt to document every band that had something to do with the punk scene in Minnesota. From your Husker Du & Replacements to Dirt Poor & the Kung Fools. Bands that played bars, and bands that played basements and garages. I'd like it all represented here.
I'd also like your help. I can't possible do it all by myself, so if you want to see something here, let me know. If you see something on the net that deserves a mention here, let me know. If you'd like to contribute, let me know.
If you are in a band that I've posted here, and you want your stuff removed, just ask, and it will be removed. Most of my posts are links to other people's posts. Some of it is from my personal record collection. It is my intent to only post stuff that you can not otherwise buy. Long out of print stuff. If I link to stuff that is in print, I will try to include a link to actually purchase it. That won't happen very often though, since I try to post only stuff that I know to be out of print. If the band has an official website, I'll try to post a link to it. If I get something wrong, or you'd like to contribute something, let me know.
All I ask is that you enjoy the crap I post and if you have any suggestions, send me an email at: webbastard at mnpunk.com
From the early to the end. This must have been one of the final lineups. No original members other than Andrew. The arrangements of the old songs seem to be different. Honestly, not much to like here for me, but a good contrast from the early days (yesterdays post) to the last days (this post). This is part 1 of 9 that I believe make a complete show. Seek out the rest of the show and decide for yourself.
Update: I just found some pictures online of yet another different lineup, playing in St. Paul in 2009….maybe they still play occasionally? I don’t know.
Twin Cities grunge rockers, from their 1989 debut album.
Apple
More from Boneclub. This time from their second album, the Beautiflu EP that eventually got them signed to Imago.
Everythings on Fire
I could talk endlessly about how great Pat & Dacey are. I went to High School with Pat. Dacey seemed to be at every high school house party, so it really was no surprise that he and Pat got a band together. Two really great guys. Every Boneclub show was a mini-high school reunion for me.
Dacey is apparently now doing comedy in Chicago, and is part of some kind of childrens TV show. (ask the Bing, I don’t have a link) Last I heard Pat was either running or owned a restaurant on Grand Ave. in St. Paul.
