The old Minneapolis music scene from the 1960's/show on December 6th

We have a show coming up a First Ave on December 6th! More details to follow very soon.

For now, take a look at a band that was popular on the local music scene in the early 1960's. The Chancellors. They did a cover of "Little Latin Lupe Lu" by the Righteous Brothers," as well as a few other recordings of their own, and made it to the top of the charts on KDWB with the song. They used to play at the 8th floor auditorium at the downtown Macy's in Minneapolis. Prince recently played there a few years ago, and he often played there in the 80's. But now it is mostly for the annual Christmas displays during the holiday season. Why can't bands play there again? It used to be the hot place to play in town for many years. Wouldn't that be cool? Have you ever thought about the music scenes from past decades in Minneapolis?
