City Pages selected Duluth band Southwire as one of the groups “picked to click” in 2013. Minneapolis hip-hop artist Lizzo was picked #1. Southwire came in at #8.
A blustery fall day seems like a good day to get an early start on Homegrown 2013 photo wrangling for next year’s Field Guide. With an earlier start, hopefully this can evolve into better curation and collaboration. Send me stuff & questions: transistormag [/] gmail.
Homegrown is also in the process of planning a website / photo archive / history overhaul, so we will be looking for a “motherfucking sub-committee” for that, if I remember my meeting notes correctly seeking input.
Thanks!
The Duluth Poet Laureate Committee is seeking submissions of poetry for a collaborative project entitled Noteworthy. Twelve area composers/songwriters will each select a poem to serve as the inspiration for an original piece of music. There will be a performance of the readings and the music in May 2014.
Superior native Christine Hoberg has just released this video for “All That Hate” from her new album World Within. The video was produced by Duluth-based Lakefront Films.
iTunes proceeds go to Rock for Kids.
John Mark Nelson’s video, “The Moon and Stars,” shot in Duluth aboard the William A. Irvin, is getting some MTV love.
There’s already a post on PDD about the two Van Halen shows in Duluth, so here’s some love for ol’ Diamond Dave … or as the TV spot says “Dynamite.”
On Saturday evening at the Prøve Gallery, Duluth was treated to a special acoustic performance by Duluth native Venus DeMars along with wife Lynette Reini-Grandell, who read from her poetry as part of the Duluth-Superior Pride Festival.
Why doesn’t Duluth have a repeater of the Current? What would it take to get one?
This is Jeff Cork, some guy who used to live in Duluth but then moved to a beautiful St. Paul suburb. I have a handsome brother named Jason Cork.
Anyway, I’m turning 40 in a few days and we’re going to have a fun party because that number ends with a 0. The party will be on August 30 at some bar called McCarron’s Pub in Maplewood. Sexhawk is going to be playing! Bone Appetit played at this spot when it was a dive called Dean’s. They added some taps with Irish beer and put shamrocks all over the place, and now it’s miraculously converted into a pub. There’s also a burger place attached. Irish burgers, I assume.
Soooooo… Duluth people should come and say hi and listen to some rawk music while drinking beers or whatever. I promise that it will be a super fun time unless you’re some kind of jackass who hates having fun times. In that case, you should hang out in the parking lot.
Hope to see you there!
Jefffffffff

… So We Burn, the new album from Duluth dark-synth duo the Electric Witch (myself and Marcus Matthews of Wino, WI / The Surfactants / The Virgin Marcus etc. etc.), has just been released! Five new original songs (one featuring Moleman aka Brett Molitor of the Surfactants / Both on guitar), a Mega Man 2 cover (complete with Japanese lyrics!) and remixes from Duck Duck Punch (Twin Cities) and Cities of Earth (Denver).
You can listen to it all for free and own it for whatever you want. And keep an eye out for a full live band coming for you in the near future!
