One Question Interviews: Nothington
Feature — November 9, 2013
Chris (Nothington)SPB: How many vans have you had? Chris: We have owned 4 vans. They usually die after about 2 US tours, and oddly enough they always seem to bite the dust in the last couple of days of tour. I guess that makes us lucky, because we've never …

One Question Interviews: Northless
Feature — November 10, 2013
Erik Stenglein (Northless)SPB: What part of your live show is the hardest on sound engineers? Stenglein: I would say the hardest aspect of our live sound would be the mix between our instruments and the vocals. We play loud with a lot of bass, and depending on how bright …

Brandon (Amarok)SPB: What is your staple tour food? Brandon: It’s usually pizza. I say this because its something you can find meat or vegetarian. Available almost anywhere, and available late night like after our shows. May not be our favorite tour food but its one that we end up …

One Question Interviews: Grant Hart
Feature — November 10, 2013
Grant Hart (solo, Husker Du)SPB: How do you feel about the Twin Cities music scene today? Local and national media seem stuck in a comparison mode, endlessly bringing up Replacements and Husker Du without as much mention to the local musical history over the past 20 years. How do …

Music / Fest 12: Fest 12
Feature — November 11, 2013
Fest recaps are tough. It’s a 4-day* event with over 400 bands. By my spotty count, I saw at least 42 bands and 7 comedians and I’m sure those numbers aren’t accurate. I had some holes in my daily schedules that I wandered about town, ate foods, met up with …
