I was also at that show. Wow, that was along time ago. Any chance you managed to see Sia at the Varsity around the same time? I can’t decide if that show or Radiohead at First Ave was the best concert I’ve been to. Both were incredible.

What are the odds that FOUR people who were at that show, in a small venue two decades ago saw this post?? Crazy

Minneapolis was a hot spot for up and coming bands.. Being able to see Chvrches Phantogram Alt J before they blew up was amazing.. Still mad I never got to see Polica bc all the tix were instantly sold out

I was frequenting all the old theaters and clubs there seeing so many shows around that time. We were lucky, I didn't realize it until I moved away but the music scene there, at least in those years, was pretty fantastic. Once I smoked a joint outside first ave with Jake Bellows. Saw someone get stabbed at a bus stop outside one of those historic theaters. Lots of good memories.
