For Rocktober week two, here are the shows coming to Minneapolis.
Starting on Sunday, we have Cave. The "none-drone" band will be out in support of their new album
Threace (coming out October 15th on Drag City).
I've seen this Chicago band before, opening up for Chelsea Light Moving (Thurston Moore) and was rather impressed with their ability to build up their instrumental rock.
