I have been tossing around the idea of wanting to throw a Duluth-based summer dance music festival. This festival would center around the theme of dance tunes and Minnesota (or greater Midwest) musical acts. This would not just include DJs, but a combination of bands, DJs, collectives, and whatever other kind of dance-oriented groups would be interested.
The Flaming Lips’ film Christmas on Mars screens on Friday, June 10, just before midnight, under the auspices of Sound Unseen, within the magnificent Zinema 2.
Rare posters and unexpected Duluth flashbacks will be given away.
Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps are set to appear at Lake Avenue Cafe this Friday, June 3, as part of Lake Avenue Cafe’s First Fridays Live Music Series. Duluth’s Sarah Krueger will open the show. Come check out two of Minnesota’s best up-and-coming female songwriters performing in the intimate setting of Lake Avenue Cafe. This will be a show to remember.

What were the names of the people that formed the first Bob Dylan tribute band in Duluth, and where did they play? I suppose year would be good, too.
Wild times on the train to Two Harbors, with a 90-minute delay on the return that is sure to become legend in Dylan Fest annals.
