The Suburbs   Live from Minnesota Founded in 1977,  The Suburbs  helped launch the punk rebellion that later became known as the Minneapolis Sound .

We caught them at  First Avenue  in 2017 playing classics such as " Love is the Law " and "Rattle My Bones" plus the more recent " Turn The Radio On ." Featuring original keyboardist and singer Chan Poling with origin al drummer Hugo Klaers, The Suburbs are joined by  some relative newcomers . We greet Stevie Brantseg and Jeremy Ylvisaker playing guitars, Steve Price on bass, Janey Winterbauer provides backup vocals, Max Ray on saxophone, Rochelle Becker on Baritone Sax, and Stephen Kung on horns and keys.
