On Friday, April 5, Garbage played at Mill City Nights in Minneapolis.

John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten) remains one of the most charismatic lead singers around. If he weren't singing, I'm sure he could just as easily mesmerize a crowd with an evangelical church sermon or a motivational speech on the wonders of Amway. His unique voice is part Scottish opera singer, part graveled punk rocker but it's his presence that draws you in.

On Sunday, June 3, Black Box Revelation played at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

On Monday, Dec. 5, Black Box Revelation performed at First Avenue as openers for Beady Eye. At Beady Eye's insistence, no photography of their set was permitted whatsoever.
