Hey guys,

We announced the support bands for the First Ave show on 12/21. They both rock in their own right, so make sure to check them out ahead of time or you may regret that you didn't.

The Evening Rig - Great Replacements-style Minneapolis rock

The Evening Rig were great last night at Jim Walsh's book release show. They seem to have the same fun attitude Soul Asylum has on stage.

Ha I was surprised to find out a friend of mine plays in the Evening Rig, those guys are great. Very Mats/PW influenced. Josh, the amazing guitar player, use to play in a friends punk band, Big Fucking Skull.

I like discovering new music, and it seems the universe wants me to pay attention to these guys, they keep popping up.
