Paul Metzger
From St Paul
First show since since October 5, 2014 • First Cedar show since February 7, 2014 • 29th show on MN Live's calendar since April 7, 2007
From last.fm:
In 1979, Paul Metzger drilled a few innocent holes into a Yamaha acoustic guitar. A self taught musician with 5 years of playing behind him, Metzger was growing tired of the conventions of the instrument. This lobotomy was the first of many surgeries that would follow in years to come. Strings were added, subtracted, added again; the frets of the neck were disemboweled and retrofitted with a sarod like metal fingerboard plate; paint was splattered over it, a rejigged music box was affixed to the guitar's belly, a crash cymbal mounted to its bottom.

First Twin Cities show since since September 24, 2013 • First Cedar show

Chris Farstad, a core member of Minneapolis collective Food Pyramid, imparts that experience into his debut solo album, Solar Express. Exploring the tension between new age escapism and kinetic momentum, wielding psychic armor of pure laughter to disarm power and usher in new stories, the results are an album of dynamic exploration manifested as a synthesized fantasy of ambient environments, colliding percussion and time-based electronic composition.

They have been called “one of the best bands of their kind” by the editor of Drumbeat Magazine, but Invisible Boy almost never played a note together.
