Mr. Kimbrough here is from one of my favorite MN connected bands (as this song is too). Hell, one of my favorite bands in general I suppose.

Loading... Sometimes irrational attachment to a theme can lead a DJ to a local band she'd not heard of before.

Friends of friends, I'm happy to see these guys amassing more momentum every day. Their new album just dropped a couple weeks ago, which reminds me that I need to get their new album.

22 years after hanging it up following a show in Chicago, they walked out onto a stage in Canada and did this.

Atmosphere is at the top of my list mostly because of their melodies, accessibility and style. Imagine my surprise to find them performing in London while I was studying abroad there in 2009.

Once he finally sets up some gigs at Minneapolis you had better believe at least a couple of you are going to go. Or I am going to guilt the heck out of you in hopes of making you attend.

Brian Wheat, in Buffalo's famed abandoned Central Terminal, 2011. Also, man, anyone shooting a music video loves to rip off La Blogotheque, huh?
