After starting her career in Minneapolis in the ’80s with The Clams, she returned in 2021 with a fierce new sound.

Although it’s clear it’s clear this band sold their souls to Rock N Roll, they often flirt with Glamish-Punk, and even Blues ideas. The Rumours and their feisty attitudes are gonna rip your heart out and leave you beggin’ for more!

Minneapolis’ own The Right Here are turning 15, and they’re throwing a big ol’ party at Palmer’s to celebrate. For a decade and a half, they’ve been mixing punk grit with country heart — loud guitars, big hooks, and songs that hit you right in the feels. Join them for a killer lineup of local bands, old friends, and a few reunion sets to make it extra special. Come hang, sing along, and help ‘em blow out the candles (and probably some speakers).

Doors 6pm. Showtime 7-10 (patio) and (inside) after 10. If weather is dumb the show moves inside.

7pm The Anchor Windlass (patio)~ took The Right Here under their mighty wings and showed them the ropes of rock stardom. Fast forward a decade, countless performances, and enough shared wisdom to fill a library

7:45 Skulpture~ Punk Rock dipped in New Wave, Post-Punk/Hardcore, and Art Rock

8:30 Class of 86~ They’re back! Featuring current members of Powerdam and old (literally) members of Our Own End, Sofakingdom, and probably some other ones. They’ll probably go back into hiding after this so come see ‘em!

9:10 The Right Here! Eh Hem, we know who they are!

10:15 The Manix

11 Couch Potato Massacre~ Is a super fun MPLS quartet (Bass, Drums, Guitar, and Keys) that writes catchy little songs about TV Shows, Movies, and Video Games. It’s Pop Culture Pop Punk!

11:45 Loss Leader~ is a punk project from working-class dudes from Minneapolis, MN

09/12/2025

Tonight🎉🎉🎉 This show is Sold Out but if weather remains good and we have no rain we will release 40 more tickets at the door at 6pm for $25 or try coming in later for $10 after 10pm.

This show is a patio show and inside show. Doors 6pm. Showtime 7-10 on the patio and then inside after 10. 21+ If weather is dumb the show moves indoors.

7pm Bermuda Squares (patio)~ Garage bangers from the wild mind of Tami Milek

8 Christy Costello~ glammy, upbeat power pop and ’77 punk with healthy spritzes of synth-punk (hello, Epoxies! with B52’s vibes) ~Razorcake

9 Kid Congo & Pink Monkey Birds~ Kid Congo founded the The Gun Club, was also a member of The Cramps and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. These days Kid fronts the Pink Monkeybirds out of Tuscon Arizona. Also featured in band is Marcus Cisneros, a Discord DC veteran musician who also performs in The Pink Monkeybirds; and plays in The Make Up/Des Demonas/Hammered Hulls currently.

10:15 Gay Witch Abortion (inside)~ This trio of Shawn Walker, Jesse Bottemly and Nate Nelson combine together to puree a gigantic rhythemic stew of guitar and drums. If you close your eyes, you might find yourself imagining your childhood, putting you fingers in to the ceiling fan, it hurts, but it brings a sense of power and risk.

11 Black Widows~ punk band serving up wild surf guitar, riot grrrl vox, slick bass grooves, & mean beats

11:45 Count Spookula~ The Sinister Prime Minister of Halloween, here to spread Halloween scares all year round. It’s Halloween Forever.

Zen open jam is a collaborative community jam event welcoming creativity, improvisation, and going with the musical flow. Founded in 2021, we welcome all music lovers to come along on the journey with us to share in the good vibes of improvisational music.

We welcome people to come to play or just to hang and watch. This jam is held from 8-11pm. We provide a drum kit, bass cab and the venue’s PA system. Bring a guitar, horn, or other instrument to join in on the fun. Players are randomly assembled on the spot in ensemble, but requests to play with friends or bandmates are always welcome.
