PRISSY CLERKS
facebook.com/prissyclerks
I'm pretty certain if you went to see a local Minneapolis concert this year, chances are you probably saw Prissy Clerks. I've previously mentioned them before, particularly when they were known as Total Babe (a band that featured Howler Jordan Gatesmith).
Well, Prissy Clerks just released their debut album, Bruised or Be Bruised, which Prefix Magazine described them as sounding like "Pavement and Sebadoh" while NME said they sounded like Smashing Pumpkins (circa Siamese Dream-era). So certainly, if you're into 90's alt-rock, Prissy Clerks should be on your radar.
I am told the band will likely tour in support of their album, in the meantime, you can listen to the title track on Soundcloud.com:

LUCY MICHELLE & THE VELVET LAPELLES
lapelles.com
Minneapolis-based Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles recently performed a session for Daytrotter. Personally, when Daytrotter switched to a "you have to sign in" to download, I haven't used them since.
Sean Moeller of Daytrotter writes, "These songs, while strong and backboned, come off sometimes as delicious whimpers, the people singing them willing to take any scraps that might come their ways…."
Four of the five songs played live were taken from their latest album, Heat, which was released earlier this year.

BRIEFLY:
| wordpress.com The Ericksons' second single is called "Where Do You Dwell" and you can download it for free at Bandcamp. I think the song is taken from their forthcoming album The Wild. The band is having a CD-release party this January 17th, 2013, at the Cedar Cultural Center. | liveletters.net This isn't a band, but a company that books "private loft" concerts in the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis. In other words, it's a private resident. I reckon the shows has to be acoustic otherwise the neighbors would complain. Their upcoming shows: 01/10/13 - John Mark Nelson 01/24/13 - Various: hosted by Jonathan Sunde |
