Winter Blues? Rock them out, at the SnoCore Tour.

Wind-Up Records and TKO are breaking through the cold and sending out bands Flyleaf, Adelitas Way, Framing Hanley, and Fit for Rivals on the road, to fill that winter gap of less rock touring activity during the colder months.  First launched in 1996, the festival has previously featured performers such as Sublime, System of a Down, Incubus, Seether and Shinedown, and the tour returns this year with an all-new package.

Headliner Flyleaf is turning over a new leaf of its own.  Best known for songs from their first two albums, the Texas band now features vocalist Kristen May (formerly of Kansas City band Vedera) and is out in support of its 4^th album, Between the Stars (Loud & Proud Records).

Las Vegas based Adelitas Way is in support of last year’s Stuck (Virgin Records) and recent EP, Deserve This, with a full-length follow up, expected later this year.

Nashville’s Framing Hanley, Jacksonville, FL’s Fit for Rivals, and a rotating roster of additional support acts, make the evening a full night of heat inducing rock.

Burger Records' Burgerama 2013 headliner The Growlers will be headlining the 7th Street Entry on February 26th. They are out touring in support of their newest album Chinese Fountain. Although the SXSW dates are left mysterious blank, expect the band to probably show up down in Austin when the time is right.

Broncho set to open the show, a band we saw in 2013 and also in 2014. Last year, Broncho supported punk rock icon Billy Idol, that must have been the highlight of their year.

It's the official release party for Fuzzy Machete's new full-length album, "Number One Fan"!!! Be the first kid on your block to get your hands on a copy, and hear us perform the songs live on stage as well.

To help us celebrate, we have a couple groups taking the stage with us which are relatively new projects from two very well-established Twin Cities music icons:

Lolo's Ghost is a soulful rock band assembled by James Loney.

Sunday Islands is a new hip-hop/electronica project featuring Mayda Miller

And to close out the night, we've got Minneapolis psychedelic rockers Tollund Moses!
