The Half Hearts CD Release

Half Hearts flier

This coming Friday, October 15th, there is going to be a party like no other. The Half Hearts, originally from the Duluth area, will be throwing a huge CD release show at the REX. Along side the Half Hearts will be Ariane Norrgard et al, Loup-Garou, and The People Say Fox. This is going to be a full night of music, so bring your dancing shoes, party hats, and appropriate judgment (whether it be poor or not is up to you).

There is going to be a party starting at 8pm, and music begins at 9pm. $3 cover. 21+ (confirmed as 21+, sorry youngin’s)

Come out and enjoy the fresh sounds of Duluth while enjoying your favorite tapped beverage!
