A couple weekends ago, I made my first trek to Moorhead, MN in 3 years for a free show at Jerry's Original Music Club featuring four great Upper Midwest bands. My only regret was that more people weren't there to have a great time at a rock show!
The first band was the only band I was unfamiliar with, North Dakota natives Shotgun Facelift. Despite the off-putting band name, they did a great job of entertaining the small crowd. I made a point to check out their music later and snagged a couple of their guitar picks during their performance.
Next up were my friends in Cold Kingdom. I was glad to chat with my friends in the band who were hanging out in the parking lot as I arrived, and it was great seeing them live in person for the first time since their CD release show in Minneapolis months ago. They brought the largest audience of the night to their set, and I don't think anyone was disappointed.
The third group were my friends in Screaming for Silence, promoting the release of their new ep House of Glass. It was great to finally hear the new songs alongside some familiar classics. I bought a copy of the new disc and rocked it all the way home later that evening.
The final act were Iowa natives Dead Horse Trauma. I picked up a couple of their CDs at the show to familiarize myself with their music more, but I thought they put on a good show despite the dwindling audience.
I stuck around long enough to chat with my friends for a while and catch up with my S4S buddies before making the 2 1/2 hour drive back home.
Going to the MN State Fair today with a friend for the Daughtry/Nickelback show, I'll blog about it later. Still some more fun shows coming up soon! Have a great week, everyone!
