3OH!3
From Boulder, Colorado
First Twin Cities show since since May 18, 2010 • First Varsity show
From last.fm:
3OH!3 is an American electronica group from Boulder, Colorado, named after the 303 area code which covers Boulder, Aurora and the Denver metropolitan area. Formed in 2004, Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte were inspired by the hip-hop electronic scene and Foreman invited Motte to mix some beats and hang out with him. They released their self-titled debut album in 2007, but it was not a commercial success. Their second album, Want, was released in July 2008 and features the highly successful singles Don't Trust Me and Starstrukk (the deluxe edition has a re-recording which features Katy Perry).

The Summer Set
From Arizona
First Twin Cities show since since March 4, 2013 • Eighth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since May 10, 2009
From last.fm:
On their latest full-length, Legendary, The Summer Set are issuing a simple, yet essential call to fans: Be legendary. As a sonic challenge to aim high and never back down, the 12 tracks that comprise Legendary aim to provide hope and inspiration, even if it’s just to forget your problems and have some fun for awhile. The Summer Set’s singer Brian Dales says the core concept behind the new record evolved into a metaphor for the singer’s own personal state of affairs, as well as the mantra The Summer Set hopes to inspire their listeners with.

Wallpaper.
From Oakland, California
First Twin Cities show since since November 9, 2012 • First Varsity show • Third Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since November 12, 2010
From last.fm:
What is wallpaper? It decorates our rooms, covers our walls, and for the most part goes unnoticed. It is the backdrop of our lives, just like today's pop music. It lingers in the background, being played at gentle volumes in restaurants, elevators, gyms, etc. That's what Eric Frederic of Hyphy R&B satire act Wallpaper wanted to address. Slinging CDRs and rocking house parties, Wallpaper has become a gold plated name in the San Francisco Bay Area underground. Read more about Wallpaper. on Last.fm.
New Beat Fund
From Los Angeles, California
First Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar
From last.fm:
New Beat Fund birthed when a piggy bank with the words "New Beat Fund" encrypted on it was catapulted into the facade of a corporate building. No joke. Somewhere in that transaction it became apparent a jar full of “fuck you's” and “I owe you's” would no longer lend it's help to an artist. So we started our own fund; no debts to the bullshit, just a direct deposit from your's truly and the people who vibe what it is we're doing. And what exactly are we doing? We're letting our music run free, streaking down the beach, nuts hangin' in the Cali breeze, smokin' Cali trees. Read more about New Beat Fund on Last.fm.
