Step onto the hardwood floors, surrounded by ocean-front murals and booths reminiscent of milk shakes and rock-and-roll. Look up into the clouds floating on the ceiling and realize that the sky is still the limit. You're indeed standing on the stage of American music . . .

Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

with Special Guest Matt Morris
Friday, 3rd July 2009
Doors open at 8:00 p.m.
Ticket Price: $ 14 Adv / $ 16 Door

Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with The Silver Lining, their first new studio release since 1998’s "Candy From a Stranger".

The re-emergence of the group with their new album is a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music. Original members Pirner and Murphy are joined by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince) and Tommy Stinson on bass (who was a member of fellow Twin Cities band The Replacements).

The Silver Lining, Soul Asylum’s ninth full-length album, is every bit as quirky and off-centered cut-to-the-bone rock as their hardcore fans have come to expect, an indication that the Minneapolis-bred band has lost none of its edge. The new Soul Asylum songs--"Crazy Mixed Up World," "Standing Water," "Success Is Not So Sweet," "All Is Well," "Good For You," "Lately," "Oxygen," and the lead single "Stand Up And Be Strong" capture the band at its best: swinging, soothing, and rocking!
