I'm personally pretty excited about Red Mountain and whatever they're going to put out.

"Buzz" can mean a lot of things.  I will list 5 bands that meet at least one of the following criteria:

1. They actually play regularly
2. They have new material or are a new band
3. I want to see them when I see they are playing.

Loup Garou
The People Say Fox
The Fractals
The Fontanelles (not local, but play here more than 95% of local bands)
Canine Heart Sounds (although they are moving soon)

Actually Red Mountain had to cancel its sweet sounds for tonight. In its place you will find another buzz-worthy new band, Lion or Gazelle, performing around 10 PM. Also check out Double Bird playing later, which is 1/4 Duluthian. Double Bird's last Twin Ports show was shut down by the cops, so you know they're good.

Anyone seen Billy Don't Be a Hero?  I saw them once but haven't heard much since.

The Vulnerable Adults is the most awesome band. Although there is no such band yet. Please, someone start a band with this name. I don't care what you sound like. You would be Duluth's most awesome band.

Dirty Horse is making a buzz among some circles. They're worth seeing.

Excuse Me, Princess! is getting better with every show.

I'm inclined to say that the Two Beat Band is buzzworthy, but may have to abstain because I play guitar with them sometimes.

Who are the personel in Clique Clique Boom and Lion and Gizell?

@W.T.F., I've been calling it "a blowie" (finger quotes required) ever since Matt coined the phrase 5 days ago.  Get on the good foot!

Last weekend, at Gooseberry (living up to its name)  on the back side we accidentally stumbled upon this guy in a detroit starter jacket and transition lenses, on that hidden cove, doing this blond chick with a sizable rumpas  in the back.  I believe your people call this dog style.  I don't know if he was in a band, but it was pretty awesome, except for the fact that it fucking blew my hike and the hundred mile drive which accompanied it.  Maybe he should start a band with that concept, I think it would cause quite a stir, maybe put all this other nancy fem rock shit to shame.  Long live Hendrix

@girlfromnorthcountry, got no problem with "blowie" just trying to get in the loop or  get on the good foot as you say. I think the term is hilarious. Way to go, Matt.
