Awesome Snakes
From Minneapolis
First show since since March 19, 2010 • First Triple Rock show • 19th show on MN Live's calendar since June 23, 2006
From last.fm:
Songs about snakes from Danny and Annie of The Soviettes. Danny plays the drums, Annie plays the bass guitar and the duo shares singing duties. Instrumentally, the band plays a garage-flavored high tempo rock that borders on lo-fi dance punk. Released in 2006, their debut album, Venom runs like one long musical gag to insert the words "Awesome," "Snakes" and "Jerk" as much as possible. This is all, of course, done deliberately with self-aware, winking stupidity. The album also features an appearance from P.O.S., member of Minneapolis hip-hop collective, Doomtree.

Lipstick Homicide
From Iowa
First Twin Cities show since since March 14, 2014 • First Triple Rock show since December 13, 2013 • Ninth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since June 18, 2009
From last.fm:
Lipstick Homicide emerged from the womb when 15 year old Rachel Feldmann met 16 year old Kate Kane and decided to form a band with 2 other ladies from their high school . When “The Whoopsie Daisies” didn’t work out as planned, they decided to join forces with Luke Ferguson from the extremely popular Iowa City band the Sequels. Feldmann and Kane share the songwriting duties, with a heavy focus on writing the catchiest songs possible, whether or not the lyrics make any sense. At least they’re good at pretending to make sense. Read more about Lipstick Homicide on Last.fm.
