“Still Learning,” the first single + music video from In a Mess, In a State, and a Second Too Late is coming September 17! Read on for the Muskellunge backstory by Simon Peter Groebner.

Minneapolis, 1992. An underage fan sneaking into the dingy Uptown Bar — through the back door, next to the bathroom — pretty much knew what to expect. The dominant sound from smoke-clogged stages was loud, distorted and dangerous, with industry people big and small scouring local micro-scenes for the next angry thing. (Muskellunge cont’d)

“A co-bill made in heaven, one that Brian and I have been trying to make happen for years. We met each other as very young lads, in a music scene absolutely bursting. And the excitement continues as The Hang Ups (8:30p set) and yours truly (9:30p set) rock The Turf Club on a hot August night.” –Wilie Wisely

A Day On Earth

A musical / natural world experience dreamed up by cellist Jacqueline Ultan and realized with help from her bandmates in The Starfolk and her life partner artist David Bartley. Their 15 minute short film shows what happens when a gifted cellist goes directly to the stark expansive landscape of the South Dakota Badlands for musical inspiration. Happy Earth Day!
