Afghan Whigs bring the darkness at First Ave, Har Mar brings the funk

http://www.citypages.com/music/afgha...funk/446793653
The freewheeling encore showed some love for Minneapolis and its institutions. “The music that has come off this stage and out of this city changed my life,” Dulli said, welcoming Tillman back to the stage for a tribute to Grant Hart, a version of Hüsker Dü’s “Keep Hanging On.” With just Dulli and Tillman on stage, and the crowd singing along, it was a cathartic moment.

The rest of the Whigs returned to the stage for a technicolor jam of Black Love’s “Summer’s Kiss” before sliding into Prince’s “Sometimes it Snows in April,” which they mashed up with another favorite from Black Love, “Faded.”

One bucket list thing for me is to go the Twin Cities to visit First Avenue and Paisley Park.

Besides driving through Minneapolis/St. Paul while on a car trip from Calgary to Waterloo decades ago, I've never made a proper visit to the twin cities. But the two places you mentioned would be on my bucket list as well, plus Target Field.

Lived there for several years. Prince would walk into First Ave and play any Monday night he wanted. Got to see him 7 times. For $5.

Bob is apparently opening his sets these days with a cover of one of Grant's songs.

Intimate, immersive documentary captures the late Grant Hart at artistic surge

http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/07...rtistic-surge/

https://www.thecurrent.org/collection/husker-du/

The Current Releases Podcast Exploring Husker Du's Legacy

https://www.mpr.org/press/2017/10/30...ker-du-podcast

The Current today released Do You Remember?, a five-part narrative history of Twin Cities punk pioneers Husker Du, as told by all three members of the band, those who witnessed the beginnings, music industry insiders and iconic punk rockers. This is the first time all three members of the band have gone on record to share their story. All five episodes of the podcast will be released today.

The story of Husker Du is one of rock's most legendary--three punk misfits joined forces in St. Paul, Minn., and became the world's fastest band, then slowed down to become simply one of the best. Led by not one but two world-class singer-songwriters in guitarist Bob Mould and drummer Grant Hart, the trio--filled out by bassist Greg Norton--epitomized the DIY spirit, sharp-edged songwriting, and blazing performances of '80s indie rock. Do You Remember? is the Husker Du story told through the vivid reminiscences of the band, as well Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, and a host of lifers, insiders, and associates. Intimate, funny, and full of detailed insight into a legendary world.

Listen to Do You Remember? on Apple Podcasts, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, NPR One, Spotify, RadioPublic or at thecurrent.org.

The Story of Hüsker Dü’s Grant Hart, in His Own Words


In one of his final interviews, the late drummer recounts his family’s troubled history and his most formative early life experiences, including the death of a beloved brother.

I'm currently on episode 2 of the podcast, and it's great!

A couple of good companion pieces to this if anyone is interested:

Our Band Could Be Your Life-- 2001 book about the underground American music scene in the late 70s & 80s. It's a fantastic read if you're interested in that particular era of punk and indie-rock and features an entire chapter devoted to Husker Du.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Ba...d_Be_Your_Life


Bob Mould's autobiography See A Little Light is also excellent.

Bob Mould's autobiography See A Little Light is also excellent.
Episode 3 has Bob Mould telling a funny story about Calgary - staying at the Calgarian while people were fighting outside on the streets.

I have two copies left of Our Band Could Be Your Life as CJSW Funding Drive incentives. I suppose it is not too late to pledge to Fossil Records at fundingdrive.ca, or I could hold them as prizes for Listener Appreciation week in the new year.

The Curmudgeon: Why Hüsker Dü—Not Nirvana—Were the Real Kings of Punk's Second Wave

A recent boxed set helps confirm what historians of the future should know: the crucial band of punk’s second wave was Hüsker Dü. Here's why.

Porcupine sounds pretty great. I will have to do a deeper dive into their music.

I ran across an unexpected reference to Husker Du the other day. They are still a symbol of rebellion.

That's awesome and sounds like fun. We are considering a trip to Chicago to visit some family this summer and I'm trying to convince my wife we drive up to Minneapolis while we are down there. The bait is an in-between stop in Wisconsin Dells for the kids. But yes, if I make it there, I'm going to try to make those pilgrimages and add in Target Field and Cheapo Records as well. Apparently Tommy Stinson's house that was featured on the Let It Be album cover is only a few blocks away from Cheapo.
