And I do, too. The mighty Replacements. Husker Du. Hell, even Soul Asylum and Prince. Minneapolis was THE place for music to come from for...oh, a couple years. Maybe a little less. It's rockness seems to have died down, at least on a national scale, but today's pick, The Evening Rig, seems, in my book, poised to re-assert the case for Minneapolis being a rock and roll town. With raw and angry guitars, bash and smash drums, and, a personal fave, songs about drinkin', The Evening Rig is heir apparent to the classic Minneapolis rock tradition. I mean, check out the totally rippin' riff in The Steve McQueens - it's straight off an Aerosmith record. and not in a bad way...Love 'em, cause I do...
