I Remember Romance - Airs Dec 6th

The Suburbs Live from Minnesota
Founded in 1977, The Suburbs helped launch the punk rebellion that later became known as the Minneapolis Sound. Their quirky, humorous new-wave punk style crafted the vibe for many local clubs including the infamous Jay's Longhorn. 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 original 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. This show was recorded by Mike Birrenbach, mixed by Steve Price, and produced by Tom Garneau for KFAI's Minneculture.

Flamin' Oh's Live from Minnesota 
A Twin Cities punk-pop staple from the 80's, the Flamin' Oh's began life as the band Flamingo. A threatened lawsuit lead to the name change and the Flamin' Oh's were born. Early hits from this show include "Stop" and "I Remember Romance." Recorded live at The Turf Club in Saint Paul by Tom Garneau. The Flamin' Oh's are Robert Wilkinson on guitar and vocals, Bob Burns on keyboards and vocals, Terry Isachsen on guitar, Jenny Case on bass guitar and vocals, and Sean Sauder on drums.
