The Suburbs
From Minneapolis
First show since since May 18, 2018 • 18th show on MN Live's calendar since February 13, 2010
From last.fm:
There are three bands called The Suburbs: 1 - Minneapolis new wavers the Suburbs began recording for local label Twin/Tone in 1978. Their first full-length album, In Combo, was released in 1980, featuring tense, energetic playing and offbeat lyrics. The 1981 double album Credit in Heaven consolidated the band's approach, incorporating elements of disco and blue-eyed soul. The 12" single "Waiting" got the band substantial play in dance clubs and attracted the attention of Mercury, which signed them in 1983 and re-released their Dream Hog EP.

Bad Bad Hats
From Minneapolis
First show since since August 18, 2018 • 42nd show on MN Live's calendar since June 18, 2012
From last.fm:
Bad Bad Hats is the musical project of Kerry Alexander and Chris Hoge. Based out of Minneapolis, they make music with soaring harmonies, cutesy backing vocals, whistling, and stomping drum beats. You might even hear a kazoo or two. Perfect tunes for sunny, floral days.

Rayland Baxter
From Nashville, Tennessee
First Twin Cities show since since February 19, 2016 • First Mainroom show • Fifth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since April 7, 2013
From last.fm:
It’s hard to pinpoint the moment that songs are born, the day casual hummers become singers or scribblers become songwriters. Rayland Baxter certainly can’t, and he wouldn’t want to. Though he grew up in Nashville to the sounds of his father’s pedal steel, he didn’t dream of being a rock star. He loved music, of course, but he liked other things, too: being outside, playing sports, working at the bait shop to make spare change. Read more about Rayland Baxter on Last.fm.
