-A Prairie Home Companion on October 5th @ Fitzgerald’s
If you haven’t been to Fitzgerald’s in St.Paul to witness A Prairie Home Companion, you should really do yourself a favor and check it out. Garisson Kieller, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith, and the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band put on shows that are heard by over 4 million people on over 580 public radio stations. This show is full of musical guests, commercials for made-up products and plenty of jokes and stories. It has cemented Garisson Kieller’s place in Minnesota history. The night of the 5th is a preview of the live show that will take place on the 6th. The preview is about half the price of the live show.
-Bad Religion, The Briggs and Gallows on October 6th @ First Ave.

Alright, so it’s not music, but he’s freakin funny. hotpocket…..
-Misery Signals, Emmure, Sky Eats Airplane, Born of Osiris, The Agony Scene on October 12th @ Station 4.
Check out Sky Eats Airplane. They sound like harcore screamo with a dancy synth in the background, if you’re into that.
-Blue October, Yellowcard, Shiny Toy Guns, Lovedrug on October 13th @ The Myth
-Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, A-Sides and His Mischief on October 13th @ First Ave.
Another night with two shows. My personal choice would be Ted Leo. I haven’t had the chance to see him live and from listening to his albums, I think it’ll be sweeeet. Also, I’m not the biggest fan of Blue October or the size of the Myth. If you are planning to go to the Myth on the 13th, be sure to get there in time to see Shiny Toy Guns. I saw them on tour with The Sounds and it blew me away. They’ve got spunk.
-Henry Rollins on October 15th @ First Ave.
-Drive By Truckers, Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses on October 19th @ First Ave.
-Street Dogs, Static Age and Tiger Army on October 21st @ Station 4.
Tiger Army, wooo!! They’re helping bring back rockabilly in a psychobilly way. Check it.
-Chiodos, Emery, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Devil Wears Prada on October 22nd @ Cabooze.

I’m stoked for this show. Chiodos is coming off of an amazing album that, I think, will put them into the spotlight. It sounds like the Used mixed with Tim Burton with a sprinkle of Saosin. The musicality of this album is awesome and it makes it apparent that this is a group of musicians, not a group of buddies who drew names for instruments. I also saw Scary Kids Scaring Kids a few years ago and from what I can remember, their energy was awesome and their sound was even better.
-Brand New, mewithoutyou and Thrice on October 23rd @ The Myth.
-Shooter Jennings on October 26th at Cabooze.
-The Forecast, Blackpool Lights and Edison Glass on October 26th @ The Triple Rock.

I love the Forecast. I love em. They’ve been a supporting act on tours with the likes of Motion City Soundtrack, Limbeck, The Higher and Hot Rod Circuit. I’m really excited to see them in a headliner position. If you haven’t heard their latest release “In the Shadow of Two Gunman” be sure to check it out, because you’ll want to sing along when they play “And We All Return to Our Roots” and sway to “Somethings Never Change”. They have lyrics we can all relate to and melodies that we can all appreciate.
-Minus the Bear, Helio Sequence and Grand Archives on October 27th @ First Ave.
