HURRY, HURRY HURRY! STEP RIGHT UP AND SEE THE MOST WONDEROUS SPECTACLE OF ENCHANTING AND DARING AND ENTERTAINING MUSICIANS TO BE CONTAINED UNDER ONE ROOF!

This is sure to be a night of many delights and uncontainable JOY!
Friday, August 3
Doors 8:30 PM, Music 9:30 PM, Age 18+, Cover $7.00

The Cabooze

i like you.

Felicitous, joyous, deliriously beautiful—and that’s just the drinks. Only kidding, of course, that’s totally about the band. I like you makes every situation better. Waking up? Turn it up. Dentist? Why is this not in waiting rooms everywhere? Hour 23 of driving across the country? Feels like a movie montage or a really great McDonald’s commercial! Horns, strings, tiny little guitars, and gorgeously full vocals from Wendy O’Sunshyne. The gypsy jazz/singer-songwriter vibe will bring boat loads of happiness into your life, just be careful you don’t wander out of the house barefoot and singing. If you did, though, i like you would still definitely like you. Eclectic is their thing. Try “That’s What We Do” for an anthem and introduction if you’re still unconvinced. Memorize the words. Sing along

New Primatives

Formed in early 1999, New Primitives explores popular music through high-energy Rhythm & Blues, Ska, Reggae, Calypso, and World Dance Music.

The music of New Primitives is an amalgam of the communities and lives of its members. Performing regularly in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, this diverse group of talented musicians is dedicated to bringing people together.

With music as their vehicle, New Primitives awakens the commonality of all people and creates an environment in which everyone is welcome and anything is possible.

SOON…everyone will be New Primitives.
El le Faunt and His Travelling Circus
If you have seen El Le Faunt and his Traveling Circus perform, you know they’re not quickly forgotten. The Twin Cities’ ubiquitous, hardworking circus act has taken a short break as it prepares to release Ten in One, their third album, and the first to feature all eight members, on Saturday at the Amsterdam Bar. The album explores ten members of a traveling circus, including an ill-fated aerialist, an anxious dog-faced man, and a clown with a murderous past.

You are going to have to come find our for yourself as we play the Dakota Jazz Club in beautiful downtown Minneapolis this Friday night at 11pm. Yes, it’s late, it’s SUPPOSED to be late, it’s a jazz club and isn’t that what jazz musicians do is play hot hot hot music all night in order to deal with the heat?

Well, we’ve got the hot hot music and if you don’t have air conditioning, then the Dakota Jazz Club has got the cool vibe that will keep you from melting out of your clothes (that’s OUR job!).

Music starts at 11pm and goes until they push us out the door (in these parts, that’s usually around 1-1:30 am – midwesterners.) Cover is $5 Directions

And because we’d like to make a nice impression, at least the first time we play here, let’s make this a fancypants party! We look forward to seeing you bedazzled in all your finest accoutrements!

Until then, you can stream or purchase our music at Bandcamp or NOW ON iTunes !!!

Yep, we’re on iTunes now gotta like that!
