Description

Closed September 2010. St. Paul has a noticeable shortage of two very important teenage rites of music-geek passage: a cool independent music store, and a true all-ages venue. Thankfully, Eclipse covers both bases, selling used and new vinyl, DVDs and CDs at the front of the store and hosting early-evening punk and indie shows at the back. Factor in their cool retro arcade featuring classic video games and pinball machines, and you've got everything an after-school hangout would need.

Its pedigree is peerless--musical creatures great and small have breezed through to dazzle the underage set. Increasing its appeal... More »

    This year saw a resurgence of all-age clubs in the Twin Cities: The Whole at the U of M's Coffman Union reopened; the Babylon in Minneapolis has evolved from the Bombshelter's pepper-sprayed ashes; the Dinkytowner continues to host its "In the Garage" Sundays; First Avenue and the 7th St. Entry also have their frequent all-ages events; the Speedboat Gallery, a '90s favorite, is back in business in the Midway area; and the Fireball Espresso CafÈ also hosts several all-ages shows a...
