On this week’s show, we discussed and played tracks from a bunch of artists that will be performing at Heliotrope X, the long-running annual three-day festival highlighting the Twin Cities vibrant underground music community. We’re especially looking forward to checking out Weakwick (*tape pictured above) and American Cream – a couple of bands whose music has appeared on both our regular weekly show and on the podcast series. The event takes place from June 5-7 at Intermedia Arts in Minneapolis. Full details on the event are HERE.
