I'm not going to deny it, I've been a super mega fan of 500 Million Society (former 550 Million Society, but due to an Atomic Meltdown in Peru they losted 50 million members, so they had to change their name. Don't blame them, blame Nuclear Science) since I found their Myspace page about 2 years ago. I have been pleading with them to make an album, and finally like an electric funk lighting bolt they release their first self-titled album.

I have been playing "Do Without" for the last two weeks, and I'm amazed about how awesome this track is. The mixing of electropunk and sexy female vocals make this a must have on your digital media player. Download the MP3 and tell your friends you listen to BNLX.

Full EP from BNLX will be released sometime this month! We will update you when the rest of the tracks from this band get release to the drones of Minnesota.

Casanatra and All The Way Rider coming to Superior on Feburary 27th is like having the sun blast all this damn snow away in one big rock and roll nuclear blast. It's exciting to see some of the best rock and roll make the trek to the far north for one night of glorious rock and roll.

All The Way Rider coming off their upcoming California tour will have some new songs to treat our ears too, and Casanatra coming out of the recording studio will also have some cinnamon flavored new tracks.

You can download for FREE Casanatra's new track "Soft and Slowly"

Smashmouth is playing Black Bear Casino on September 5th in the Otter Creek Event Center. Tickets are $40 and you can purchase them through Ticketmaster or at the Cashier Cage in the Casino. You can probably hear their hits like “Walking on the Sun” and “All Star”, but rumors and myspace comments have hinted at them playing new songs from their work in progress album.

The one show that will be worth going to Pizza Luce for is finally here, Brother Ali kicks off his new tour in Duluth and drops his album on the same day. Mark down September 22nd on your calendar and save up fifteen dollars, because Brother Ali is awesome to see live. This is one trully special shows that rarely comes to Duluth. Check out the teaser video for the new album "Us" and then purchase your tickets early because this show will sell out fast.

 What a great way to end August with an awesome metal show at Grandma's Sports Garden. Saliva with Smile Empty Soul & Taking Dawn will be rocking Aug 24th. Saliva is on tour right now promoting their newest album Cinco Diablo. Tickets are $20 and available at Electric Fetus, at www.jadepresents.com, or by calling (800) 882-4275.

The road to making this website has been bumpy in the last few weeks. I have no camera (somebody jacked it), and I had to deal with some problems that I did not plan for. This website is being worked on and it's going to kick ass. Our scene needs this type of media, because Christa Lawler hates your band. She hates everything not involved with the "luce" scene.

She actually twitter this to me,

DNTAnE@localmdotcom you seem to have a lot of "ideas" about me based upon ...? I actually rarely go out and if I do: quinlans 8 out of ten times.

 10 or more bands coming together for one night of Hardcore Heavy Metal! $15 dollars! Free Camping! Plus a B.Y.O.B (Bring your own Booze) bon-fire after the show. Feel free to use the map widget to find the quickest way to the venue/house/farm field.

Andrew Olson wrote in the Northland Reader that he's "concerned" about how many people go and see live music. How did he come up with this idea? He counted how many people showed up to see The Alrights. Wow, according to Mr. Olson the scene "sucks" because not a lot of people came out to see The Alrights that night Mr. Olson showed up. So, Mr. Olson decided to write an article in the Northland Reader about how nobody shows up to local concerts and shows.
