Description

Since 1987, this downtown Minneapolis destination has filled a role in making sure that First Avenue isn't the only music hotspot in the neighborhood.

  • 2003 | BEST ROCK CLUB

    Honoring a club that has just been gutted for renovations might seem silly. But the Fine Line deserves this much. On the night of February 17, when some Seattle band set off pyrotechnics that turned the ceiling into a scene out of Backdraft, the staff got everybody out of the building quickly and safely. The same couldn't be said for the E2 in Chicago the night before, or the Station in Rhode Island a few days later. A combined 120 people lost their lives in those disasters, leaving the... More »

    The Drums/Craft Spells/Part Time

    | Wed, April 25, 2012

    All child prodigies grow up and most burn out, with only the lucky few maturing into capable adult talents that make it over the long haul. At age 30, Ben Kweller is now more than 14 years removed from the dizzying major label bidding war and late... More »

  • The Joy Formidable

    The Joy Formidable

    | Wed, March 14, 2012

    On last year's The Big Roar, the Joy Formidable operate inside a lush, overcast (yet hopeful) world. At times, it resembles a dream from which you wish you would never wake. Arguably the buzziest of last year's buzz bands—even Foo Fighters' Dave G... More »

    Cake Walk was a sweet success

    | Mon, March 5, 2012

    What began as a simple cake walk soon transformed into a sort of sweet vision quest for WCCO newsman Jason DeRusha. "I just don't know how I'm going to get this thing home," he remarked as the cake he... More »
