Documenting Minnesota Punk Rock – One post at a time!

Hüsker Dü

Spin Radio: Live in Minneapolis (boot)

In the 80’s, there was no bigger Minneapolis punk band than Hüsker Dü.  The Replacements and Soul Asylum had moved on to college rock and would see greater commercial success, but Hüsker Dü’s signing to Warner Bros., leaving SST, was probably the biggest story in punk rock for that decade.

While that signing never got them commercial radio airplay like their local college rockin’ friends, it did put the ball in motion for bands like Nirvana and Green Day to get major label deals and change the face of punk rock in the 90’s.

Grab this bootleg to get a snapshot of Hüsker Dü’s greatness, at the peak of their creative output, just before they imploded.  Complements of Days of Our Youth blog.
