Switchblade Comb has five pairs of tickets to see Tron this Saturday night at the Uptown Theatre. Special guest speaker Jay “Tron Guy” Maynard and short music set from Koo Koo Kanga Roo before the feature.
The first five people to send me an email will get put on the passlist +1. Good luck.

We are thrilled to announce that Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers will be doing a solo acoustic in-store performance on Sunday, November 16 at 2 PM. He’ll play about 4 or 5 songs and will stick around to do some signing afterward. BYOB and, as always, free (but we do love it when you buy something).
An Oklahoma City band with a southern California sound singing about Chicago. That about sums up this new video from the Uglysuit.
If you want the MP3, I posted it on Switchblade HERE last June.
From The Uglysuit; out now.
Little Joy is a band with massive buzz lately. It probably helps the band was started by Fabrizio Moretti, drummer for the Strokes. Even better for that buzz is putting out a good debut record last week via Rough Trade.
New video from Broken Social Scene’s Brendan Canning. Directed by George Vale. The perfect kind of music to keep you going on a cold, bitter day like today in Minnesota.
From Something For All of Us; out now.
Minneapolis alt-country darlings Romantica have a new video for “The National Side.” Shot in Nashville by Ryan Newman.
