It was great to have Brandon, Alex ant Tom from Twin Cities sewer punk band, Unattractive Giant Monster. You know when you see a band on stage, and you think – I bet they’re fun. And then you meet them, and you think – I was right! These guys are as much fun across the table as on stage. There is something in their music that is modern 1980s punk to me. Maybe it’s the amazing use of Speak and Spell. You can see them April 22 and 29 at the White Squirrel for their April Residency. It’s free and fun. The music is fantastic. Cheap beer and a great patio!
