Best Rock Club
Award Winner 2012

Serving: Late Night
Entertainment: Live Entertainment, DJs

Description

Call it First Avenue's auxiliary wing if you want, but this small-capacity offshoot of the venerable club is every bit as integral to the venue's identity as the mainroom. Since the early '80s, the Entry has been an ideal venue for local showcases and indie-friendly touring bands, and the room's size -- cozy without being crowded -- guarantees that you'll always have good sightlines to the stage.

2012 | Best Rock Club

While First Avenue's more spacious Mainroom next door gets most of the acclaim and accolades, the intimate Entry remains the perfect place to see a band before they break big. Ticket prices are usually pretty cheap, the sight lines are perfect, the sound is typically flawless, and fans are regularly able to connect in a personal way with the impressive legion of bands that continues to grace the club's tiny stage. Whether you're catching a young act on the rise or a veteran group that still... More »
2010 | BEST CONCERT VENUE

Some will argue that the 7th St. Entry is too small to be the best concert venue in the Twin Cities. These people are wrong. In fact, the best thing the Entry has going for it is its size. It's small enough to promise an intimate performance--i.e., no line of knuckle-draggers in security T-shirts between you and the band--but big enough to catch popular acts. The Entry is a perennial venue for renowned local musicians and a Midwest hub for many national and international acts like... More »
2009 | Best Rock Club

Look, 7th St. Entry has a lot working against it. First, it's downtown, and heading there to see AIDS Wolf on a Saturday night puts you butts-to-bollocks with bumper-to-bumper traffic and throngs of people on their way from the Wolves game to the Hard Rock Cafe. There's parking to contend with, panhandlers to dodge, and god forbid you should be struck by an impending bowel movement once you make it inside. But from open to close, a 7th St. Entry show provides the finest environment to blow... More »

Joe Pug

By Rob van Alstyne | Wed, May 16, 2012

With a lyrical world defined by a wry and restless romanticism, and a knack for homespun melodies on a par with the greats, Chicago's Joe Pug has quickly become a favorite son in the No Depression crowd. Unlike alt-country talents who mistake auth... More »
Father John Misty

By Rob van Alstyne | Wed, May 09, 2012

While Josh Tillman managed to maintain a prolific solo career during his years as the drummer for famed Seattle folk-rockers Fleet Foxes, his debut under the new moniker Father John Misty still plays like the enticing introduction to a major new t... More »
Ty Segall & White Fence

By Erik Thompson | Wed, May 02, 2012

After collaborating and recording with countless San Francisco Bay Area bands early in his career, Ty Segall finally got serious about his solo career with last year's exceptional Goodbye Bread, which found the talented singer-songwriter scaling b... More »
Ezra Furman

By Rob van Alstyne | Wed, April 25, 2012

Ezra Furman is equally in his element earnestly crooning an acoustic ditty as he is barking like a punk-rock madman over roaring electric guitars. Over the course of three albums with the Harpoons, the singer-songwriter has gradually honed both si... More »
Frankie Rose/Dive

By Rick Mason | Wed, April 25, 2012

After cutting her musical teeth as a member of fuzz-pop garage bands like the Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, and Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose assembled a band and in 2010 issued the eponymous Frankie Rose and the Outs, which relied on a litany of '6... More »
