L7: I Came Back To Bitch Poster Read More L7 Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, Sleater-Kinney, Bratmobile, L7, Babes in Toyland, and, of course, Pussy Riot. Personally, I would have added Le Tigre to the mix, considering they added Heavens to Betsy and L7! …

90s rock band L7 announced their first album since 1999, due out in February 2019. You can preorder and grab some autograph rarities via their PledgeMusic Page (unfortunately, all the good stuff are gone).

If you’re not familiar with L7, their name actually is slang for “square” (which means an uncool or out of touch person). They’re probably best known for their song, “Pretend We’re Dead”.

Death Valley Girls, who previously appeared at Desert Daze 2017 will open the show.

The 2018 tour starts today, and will stop by Minneapolis’ First Avenue on April 19th.

How are you going to close out 2017? If you’re into Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and Hip-Hop, then you will be at Snowta.

Snowta is the Midwest's largest indoor New Year’s Eve music festival. This year promised bigger and better everything, from the best live performances, art installations, interactive games, and pro athlete exhibitions. At the core of this one-of-a-kind, indoor festival is musical performances by bass-heavyweight Excision, with his custom stage production The Paradox, along with Pretty Lights (Live), Gucci Mane, Post Malone, and Ganja White Night.

"We have produced the largest EDM NYE event in Minnesota since 2010," says producer Alex Heiligman, "And we finally grew out of venues in the area and needed to find something bigger to match the demand. We have long talked about trying to fuse the amazing hip-hop and EDM communities here and thought of no better date to do it than the most celebrated night of the year in a true indoor festival setting."
