Description

Looking for all your ultra-hip friends? Check here first. The Hexagon is Minneapolis' first stop for all the local bands that are starting to create a buzz around town. It's split into two sections, "The bar side" and "The stage side" as most refer to them. Catch up on the latest gossip with your companions over a beer on the bar side before heading over to the stage side to see that band you've been hearing so much about lately.

  • 2009 | Best Concert of the Past 12 Months (Local)

    In a music community as close-knit as ours, there really is no such thing as a "secret show" or "unannounced special guests." Bloggers and Tweeters trample over one another to get the latest scoop, and every musician is friends with at least one or two people who have the ability to spread news like wildfire. So it was no surprise that the line to get into the show at the Hexagon last August with "unannounced" guests P.O.S. and Vampire Hands wrapped around the side of the building, with fans... More »

  • 2005 | BEST CONCERT VENUE

    Long a hidden clubhouse for down-and-out boozehounds, Thin Lizzy cover bands, and country-western hobbyists, this little saloon ain't just for trucks anymore. We've got Chris Dorn, frontman for sporadically active popsters the Beatifics, to thank for the transmutation. Last September, Dorn took over booking duties for the Hex's modest stage, and he immediately opened the bar's rusty doors to the bright, sunshiny world of local music--indie rock and pop, to be more precise, with a smattering...

  • 2002 | BEST COUNTRY-MUSIC SHOW

    Sunday nights at the Hexagon are a throwback to the halcyon hours of country music in the Twin Cities. Back in the day, the Flame Bar and Café on Nicollet Avenue was a national destination for big-time country stars: Hank Snow and Roy Acuff were among the country luminaries who took the stage at the storied venue. But the Flame lost its liquor license and closed in 1978. By then it had become a destination for prostitutes and tramps, who may have represented the hard-luck spirit of... More »

  • Pretty Boy Thorson

    Pretty Boy Thorson

    By Loren Green | Wed, April 04, 2012

    It's been a turbulent ride for Pretty Boy Thorson and the Falling Angels. The band has more spin-offs than Happy Days, but the Falling Angels keep pulling back together. On Friday and Saturday, the band is taking over the Hexagon for back-to-back ... More »

    Reckless Ones

    By Ian Power-Leutscher | Wed, March 21, 2012

    It's a strange thing to think about, but there are places in Finland, France, and the U.K. where people know all the words to songs by Minneapolis rock 'n' roll and rockabilly band Reckless Ones. In Flagstaff, Arizona, too, and San Antonio, Texas,... More »

  • Aaron & the Sea

    Aaron & the Sea

    By Will McClain | Wed, February 01, 2012

    The hook to Aaron and the Sea's delectable track "Singles Club" sounds a bit like what might result were Maroon 5 to have Franz Ferdinand's love child. To wit, it's jumpy, funky, and slick with soul. Happily, the track is representative of the oth... More »

  • The Idle Hands

    The Idle Hands

    By Catherine Clements | Wed, November 30, 2011

    We know that idle hands are the devil's playthings, but since when did being Satan's toy involve making wry, catchy pop music? (The devil works in mysterious ways.) Regardless, the Minneapolis band the Idle Hands channel their muse by splicing ang... More »

  • Sleeping in the Aviary

    Sleeping in the Aviary

    By Loren Green | Wed, November 16, 2011

    Sleeping in the Aviary have always had a pop sensibility underlying their jangly indie-rock base. With their fourth record, You and Me, Ghost, they bring that to the forefront. Building off '60s pop and sheen, crisp "la la la" choruses, Elliott Ko... More »

    Always no cover! Remember if you're there to see the bands to buy your drinks in the room with the stage! That's how the band's get their monies.
