MALAMANYA

We previously caught local Afro-Cuban band Malamanya when they opened up for Los Amigos Invisibles in 2013.

We described the show as: "Opening up for Los Amigos Invisibles was local Spanish band Malamanya. They spoke fluent English between songs, but I believe most their songs were sung in Spanish (with the exception of "Red Light Morning"). Songs played, according to their setlist, were: "Deuda", "El Malo", "Red Light Morning", "Viento", "Oriente", "Amore Perdido", "Mi Son Cubano", "Lagrimas Neegas", "Temperatura", and "Rumba"."

Expect, more or less, those same Spanish songs on their upcoming show.

Opening up for the Cedar show will be local talent Alma Andina, described as a group, directed by Vladimir Garrido, and performs Andean and Latin American music.

By the numbers: eight albums, three million records sold worldwide, and countless nights on the road... sooner or later, Rusted Root, will be stopping in town.

The Pittsburgh band is back in Minneapolis this January 10th, as part of their 25th anniversary as a band. I believe the last time the band did a headline show was here was in 2011 at the Cabooze.... these guys typically feel at home when they play at Bonnaroo, moedown, Summerfest, etc.

THE HUSSY

Two-piece psych punk band The Hussy (featuring Heather and Bobby Hussy) will be out on a quickie tour in support of their new EZ/PZ 7" (available in limited pink/white vinyl and black vinyl). If you are a fan of Jay Reatard and Burger Records/cassette culture, then you'll love the DIY spirit and sound of the Hussy. I already know a few people going to this show, it should be a fun night out.

Hear their single "EZ/PZ":



Opening up the show will be Gay Witch Abortion (a band that Lara put on her most obnoxious band name), Teenage Moods (who previously opened up for Mean Jeans) and Big Girl (I hope they don't cry-yi-yi).

Upcoming Hussy Shows:

01/10/15 - Minneapolis, MN @ Triple Rock
03/07/15 - Madison, WI @ Crystal Corner Bar
03/27/15 - Chicago, IL @ TBA
03/28/15 - Cincinnati, OH @ Maudies
