Local Music and Art
A year or two ago, I received a package at the coffee shop I co-own with my family that included a CD and some press information. It was from someone named Sumanth Gopinath, and the cover art was vague so I wasn’t sure of the style of music. [Read more…] about Interview – The Gated Community’s Sumanth Gopinath

TRAMPLED BY TURTLES with HIPPO CAMPUS, THE CACTUS BLOSSOMS and THE PINES
When my brother and I started making music as The Cactus Blossoms there wasn’t a big plan. We cut our teeth performing some well-known and obscure country songs that were popular or unpopular pre-1960, partly out of curiosity and deep appreciation, but mostly because it was fun. Early on we were given a residency at the Turf Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. We got a band together and it became our weekly practice-in-public where we would pull out every song we could think of, no matter how well we knew it. It was our first chance to play all night and do whatever we wanted. With Spider John Koerner and a late night set by The Icicles. Turf Club.
