Tasty-tasty pop punk rock hits the Whole this Friday with the Semester! We've also got Lindbergh and Static Films opening the night, coming all the way up from the windy city to join us for a rockin' good time. $3 students, $5 general. Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7:00pm. ***UPDATE*** The Semester's myspace announcement incorrectly listed this show as free. As you can see above, the show is 3 bucks for students and 5 for the general public. Sorry for the confusion!

Indeed my friends, rock is coming back at ya with a vengeance tonight. Lo there, do I see Westfalia. Lo there, do I see The Nina, The Pinta!, 20Paces, and last but not slightly in the least, Rise or Rust. They do call to me. They say, rip off movie quotes, alter them to serve your purpose, and tell people to rock their hearts out at tonights show. Bring a friend!

Missing media: 4383Fans and musicians alike are digging Making Music...Stef Alexander(aka P.O.S) said in this week's Pulse of the Twin Cities article about Making Music, "It was one of my favorite shows I played this year, and it wasn't really even a show. On a fan level, where people get to ask questions about music-not just where'd that song come from, but where'd the idea for this beat come from-that's my favorite shit to talk about. Actual songmaking."

That's right, I said it. Bluegrass is coming to the Whole in a big way. Pert' Near Sandstone will be headlining, and they've promised nothing but the foot-stompingest, hand-clappingest, rip-roaringest best time o' your life. The Brass Kings and the Get Up Johns are awesome, and they're bringing their A-game to play the meanest set you've head in a long time. Come check it out, and bring a friend!
