Don't Give Up (On Your Man)
With the release of No Wait Wait's album About You, Chairkickers' Union Music (Low, Kid Dakota, Haley Bonar) deals up another glowing sign of Duluth, Minnesota's dense and entrenched music scene. NWW front man and New York transplant Marc Gartman (Pale Horse and Rider, Low) traveled to Duluth in 2003 for what he thought was only a fleeting summer getaway, until he found himself a band and a supportive artistic community worth sticking around for. No Wait Wait released a self-titled debut in 2004 and enjoyed a fall 2005 tour with The Retribution Gospel Choir featuring Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon, Red House Painters) and Alan Sparhawk (Low).

The Minus One
on slide show now playing
"The Minus One" is the name of the group Dana Alberts, Liam Hart and Mike Henry started in the eighties. The band released four singles through the "Skate Rock" series through Thrasher Magazine, and appeared on “One Giant Leap”, a compilation record released in England on Venture Records in 1983.
The next year, they recorded “Where A Man Was Made,” with Spencer Dryden on drums (Jefferson Airplane drummer) and Naomi Ruth Isenberg (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) on violin.
Minus One toured the U.S. in 1985 with the VKTMS, the punk band formed by drummer Louis Gwerder and featuring Nyna Crawford.
Later that year Alberts was approached by Danny Sugerman, the author and former manager of the “Doors, and Iggy Pop's manager, after Sugerman had heard a tape of the band.
This led them to an offer of a record deal from Geffen Records. The band, broke up before the deal could be consummated.
They reformed in late 2006, and are be currently rehearsing to play extensively in 2007.
