Lunch Duchess is Back to the City’s ride or die. To complement the release this month of three new in-studio performances, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the Minnehaha Recording Company for Back to the City, songwriter Katharine Seggerman takes the wheel for a back-catalog-spanning conversation concerning everything from bad sex to good decisions ahead of their thirteen-city east coast tour, which will kick-off with a show at the Eagles – featuring Seaberg, Mr. Princess, Gully Boys and The Florists – this Thursday.

There is a renaissance happening in the music scene of the Twin Cities, one that has everything to do with a woman sitting behind the drum kit. It harkens back to the spirit of the first time that I ever saw Lori Barbero banging away.

The debut EP by Lunch Duchess: My Mom Says I Have A Rich Inner Life came to me with an extreme level of anticipation, an anticipation fueled by the fact that the band originated from within the line up of several great established Twin Cities acts.

DAISY CHAINS TOUR KICKOFF w/ GAY HENRY, OB CHOD NA KORZE, LUNCH DUCHESS

by

From their Facebook event –

CHAINS GANG IS HITTING THE ROAD, AND WE WANT TO CELBRATE WITH EVERYONE AND THEIR SISTER!
IT’S GOING DOWN AT OUR FAVORITE SPOT, WITH OUR FAVORITE FOLKS!!

GAY HENRY – One of the most mind blowing performances you can see in this town. Captivating comedy, scathing social commentary, and one beautiful drag queen; what more could you want?!

OB CHOD NA KORZE – Longest running freakshow in the metro area, from the folks that brought you acts like The Guys, and Larry Wish. Predictably unpredictable, and unintelligibly intelligent.

LUNCH DUCHESS – New powerhouse on the block, proficient in wave-making, and pot-stirring. Members of B.O.Y.F., Mrs., and other bands with periods in their name.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31ST, EAGLES CLUB, $5, 9PM
LET’S DO THIS
