eclectone records

While we’re still a few months away, we’re too excited not to mention that Eclectone Records is honored to support Rich Mattson and gang with the newest Tisdales release, “Out With The New”. The album won’t be out until late April, but we’ve already been spreading the word and sharing stages around town. A wonderful addition to the family, more news to come…

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Sauce this week to celebrate the release of the newest effort from the Mad Ripple, “Her Tattoos Could Sail Ships”. Several years in the making, this is quite the effort from Jim and Company. Check it out at all of your favorite record emporiums.

Martin, Jake, Brandon and company are at the Turf, this Friday, December 4th. Dance off the turkey weight to sounds of some of our most talented songwriters. Or join us for a beer- that’s okay too, we don’t dance much to be honest…

It has become a First Avenue tradition- Ike Reilly and the Assassination in a Pre-Thanksgiving Day appearance. This year, supporting Ike is our venerable heros, the Crossing Guards. This is going to be as fun as tomorrow’s turkey and gravy.

Friday, November 13th, Tom Feldmann and the Get Rites will perform at the Acadia Cafe in Minneapolis supported by Brandon Sampson of Six Mile Grove.

Music at 9pm

This Friday, November 6th, JoAnna James will be home in Minneapolis to play the Cedar Cultural Center. She will be opening for two other stellar performers, The Wars of 1812, and Chris Koza. Please catch three of our favorites at one of the best listening rooms in the city… Music at 8pm.

This is a fun album. We can’t stop listening to it: “Mr International”.

Its going to be a rocker, Little Man and Backyard Tire Fire with the Rhinestone Diplomats at the Turf Club. October 16th. Wait- isn’t something else happening that night as well?

The Vibro Champs have confirmed the date for their newest release, “Mr. International”, as Friday, October 16th, at O’Gara’s Garage. With doors opening at 9pm, the Vibro Champs will take the stage with the Reckless Ones, and Anonymus to celebrate their return to the Twin Cities. Stay tuned for further details…

Martin Devaney and Jake Hyer have played music together for years. After enjoying a brief stint playing as a duo as The Porchlights, they have renamed themselves The Flatwheelers and are celebrating the name with their first full band show at the Turf Club on Saturday, September 5th. The Flatwheelers are currently well into recording their debut with producer Mark Stockert (Brian Setzer, Big Ditch Road, Devaney’s own records and many more) in Minneapolis. Joining them onstage for this gig are the fine friends and musicians that appear on the record: Dave Boquist (Son Volt, John Eller and the DTs), Steve Murray (Molly Maher, Sherwin Linton), and Mick Wirtz (Bellwether).
Rounding out the bill are The Brass Kings, Como Ave. Jug Band, and Gabe Barnett.
