Toups, what kind of music does you band make?

Either way here is what I know about my area music scene Minneapolis/St.Paul

St. Paul:

Turf Club (http://www.turfclub.net/) - This is my favorite venue in Minnesota. Rock acts of any variety really, they get a lot of Noise and Experimental groups because thats a very big scene here. Which is to mean they take anything in the Rock genre. It usually has a really great turnout, and its just a nice place. Shows every night of the week.

Big V's (http://www.myspace.com/bigvs) - This place is a bit of a dive, but its just down the block from the Turf Club so it gets a lot of spill over. They do shows every night of the week. They also do a lot of Punk, Experimental, and Noise stuff. Mostly local, and really small bands.

Minneapolis:

7th Street Entry - (http://www.first-avenue.com/) This is the sister venue to First Avenue, which is the premiere mid level venue in the cities (Prince filmed Purple Rain there). Its a great place, connects to First Avenue so it gets plent of flow over. They do any kind of rock music. It usuall sounds fantastic, and its a great place to see someone because of the layout you can't really hide from a band.

Triple Rock Social Club (http://www.triplerocksocialclub.com/) This is a punk club, but they do anything rock. Its actually owned by the members of Dillenger Four, and NOFX filmed a video there for the song they wrote about the place. Really good place, great set up, good food too.

400 Bar (http://www.400bar.com/) I hate this place, but it pulls in a lot of the same level acts as the previous mentioned. Its notorious for being picks to bands, and its a terrible place to see a show. Can't even see the bands from the bar. Awful.

There a lot of other smaller places too: Uptown Bar, Lees Liquor Lounge, 331 Club, Nomad World Pub
