Where on earth did this come from!?  About a week ago we mentioned a quiet show being held by Military Special in Minneapolis, and on the shortlist of bands slated to play was one Waxx Maxx.  Minneapolis, the Land of 10,000 bands (probably more), most of whom never even accomplish a crack in the peripheral of public consciousness.  Oh, but Waxx Maxx just might…

Waxx Maxx is the brainchild of local music virtuoso Mark Mallman and vocalist Nicole Godiva.  Nicole’s sister provides the beats.  Rumor says they’ll be releasing one new track a month from here on out via their website, Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter.  To infinity and beyond!  I wonder how many videos we’ll get?

We last name dropped The 4onthefloor back in July as they were preparing to play Rock the Vine, and since that time they’ve been hard at kicking bass drums and playing shows close to home here in MN and in IA.  Their latest and probably most unique live performance took place on a roof top in somewhere Minneapolis.  Guess who shot the footage?

This week’s City of Music segment from MPLS.TV features local rockers Me And My Arrow jamming out while surrounded by art adorned brick walls.  Not my favorite scene to date, but the song and performance are well worth pressing play for.  Catch these guys at the Kitty Cat Klub tomorrow night!

The venue formerly known as Sauce (now Cause) and what is presumably Bobby & Steve’s Autoworld.  That’s all it takes for BNLX to rock in their video for “You Left Me Here.”

Phew!  Last week hardly afforded me a breath, and hence, many things that should have been brought to your attention fell to the wayside here on Borang.  Expect the next two weeks to be catch-up time!

Last Monday MPLS.TV released their latest segment to the City of Music series – a live performance by locals Rogue Valley.  Dig it!

Charlie Parr is one of those guys that, if you’re Minnesotan, it almost seems sacrilegious not to be a fan.  I stand among the supporters, no doubt, and did you know that another Minnesotan online institution (Northern Outpost) did a video feature or two with Mr. Parr last year?  Check it all out!
