We go to a lot of local (Minneapolis) shows, and they are generally at the usual venues (First Avenue, Varsity Theater, Cedar Cultural Center, Triple Rock Social Club, Turf Club).
Here are some shows taking place at less popular or lesser known venues.

NOTS
facebook.com/memphisnots
All-female band Nots will be releasing We Are Nots on Goner Records this November 11th.
To support the record, the girls are touring, stopping by 'underground' venue Sh**Biscuit on November 14th in Minneapolis. Usually these venues are someone's house or basement and their address are not published online. We've attended a few of these, you just have to know someone who knows someone... good luck on finding the place.

SUN GODS TO GAMMA RAYS
sungodstogammarays.com
The Icehouse (not to be confused with Australian 'Electric Blue' 80s band) actually regularly book shows, but because it's a restaurant/bar, I have noticed that many of their shows takes place really late - usually at 10pm or 11pm (although all the early events are free). We've covered a few Icehouse shows, so this is one of the regular venues.... but it's been a long time since I attended a show there.
Anyway, local Minneapolis quintet Sun Gods to Gamma Rays will be doing a CD release show for their new album A Ghost To Find, this Friday November 7th at the Icehouse in Minneapolis, with Votel.
Details of the show:

PATRICK'S CABARET
patrickscabaret.org
On the corner of Lake and Hiawatha (near the Target) is Patrick's Cabaret. I've never been to the venue, but I know this area pretty well. They've recently announced the "The Minnesota Artist Residency Project" which is all about booking shows in surrounding markets (instead of just one big show). Their first artist is for 82-year-old bluesman Leo Welch from Bruce, MS.
Leo "Bud" Welch will be playing tracks from his debut album Sabougla Voices (Fat Possum/Big Legal Mess Records) which came out January 2014.
Shows: Nov. 28-30th Tickets: $8 cover-charge
Venue: Multiple locations and times

DEMO
demomn.org
The Diverse Emerging Music Organization, or shortened to DEMO, are currently fundraising to open a venue in Minneapolis. Previously they would book local shows at the Arcadia Café in the city.
If they reach their goal of $100,000 by December 31st, they will use the 3,000 square feet facility for:
Individual music lessons taught by experienced instructors who are also working musicians, and will utilize recording technology to enrich the experience for students of all ages.
Ensemble music lessons will allow students of comparable skill levels to learn how to play with other musicians and write songs in variety of musical genres.
Camps for students will be offered most weekends, and for full weeks during the summer months. Subjects will include everything from songwriting to hip-hop to musical theater.
Community education classes will serve adult students with offerings such as: financial management for musicians, DIY tour booking, and Minnesota music history.
Our own soundstage will enable DEMO to produce a full slate of original programming related to the arts in Minnesota, such as our ’Naked Songwriter’ series and an upcoming long-form interview show hosted by Steve McClellan. The soundstage will also host regular student recitals, artist showcases, workshops, and other community events.
