I’ve been a fan of Dosh since I bought his “Pure Trash” CD a few years back, but I’ve never seen him perform live. Finally here’s my chance! He’s a true multi-instrumentalist and will be prone to using tape loops, sequencers & samplers to achieve his hyptonizing sounds. Come to the West Bank with me on Saturday December 27th and check it out! $12 in advance.

P.S. New life has been breathed into the pale corpse of Club Dapper now that we have a Facebook group in place. Go to Facebook.com and sign up in order to get regular updates.

Hey fellow dappers.. Its a grave situation we’ve got here. Six months have passed without a single organized DAPPER event! It’s not like we’ve been sitting at home doing crossword puzzles all weekend (not that there’s anything wrong with that) - I know for certain that we’ve been out and about, just not as a team.
Let’s get back in the groove, get out the papers and figure out what’s coming up that we wanna get out and see. The notion of rotating the selection like a book club is even up for debate. Maybe we should just have anyone throw out any show idea at any time - post details here for us to see - and we all vote with our feet and go to the ones we wanna??
I also need to get a little bit better about keeping people informed when stuff gets posted to the site, so we know what’s coming up. Both Nathan and Aaron performed last month at the Red Sea. I would have loved to read a few gushing Dapper reviews afterwards. Use this Dapper site to post reviews of the shows you’ve gone to. Fill us in about music you’ve been checking out, by posting stuff here, even if its after the fact.
DAPPER ON! Next pick goes to Nathan currently set for the weekend after Christmas. Recruit new members every day, let people know it’s never to late go out and hear great music. This town is crawling with pent up talent, we can survive the impending dark and cold months ahead by going out to warm friendly venues together and celebrating fatherhood!

Hey DAPPERS…it’s been a while since we have had any DAPPER activity, but with the winter season soon upon us I expect things to pick up again. Two events in the near future to get on your calendars are shows featuring a couple of our very own DAPPER members. First, Nate Peters is playing trumpet in a new band named The Prizefighters and will be playing at the Red Sea this Saturday. I would really love to go see him play, but I have family obligations that night (mother-in-law’s annual Halloween party for the kids). Nate posted this already, but put it in as a comment instead of an actual posting (for shame…for shame). So here is Nate’s original posting:
Hey Dappas-
I’m playing trumpet in a new band, the Prizefighters, and we’ll be playing Nov.1st at Red Sea, with Roster McCabe, Skalaticians and Zeros Heroes. Zeros Heros play @ 6 but we’ll play around 7:30-8, its all ages, so it has to be done by 10. Hope to see you there.
$5
The second DAPPER member to hit the stage is myself on bass with our band Manchicken. We will be playing at the Red Sea as well two weeks later on Friday, November 14th. It’s an earlier show starting at 7:30. If you feel like wasting perfectly good time you can check out our Myspace site at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=234660335
So hope y’all can get out and see one or both of these DAPPER homegrown shows. Otherwise…let the picks begin again!

Hey dads out there who love to rock, we salute you! This website has been set up as a place to share comments about our experiences at live music events. This social club is still in its infancy, and we are recruiting new members. Like a book club, we’ll have a revolving selection of artists and venues by each member. Check these links to learn, “What is Club Dapper?” and “History of Shows“.

OK dudes…it’s time to start bringin dis shit together…we need some DAPPER bonding time outside the usual dank bar scene to plan our expanding horizons. I am proposing a DAPPER BBQ at my place on Sunday, August 10th where we all bring the families, friends, lovers, enemies, concubines, midget servants…and have us a good ol’ fashioned foot stompin’, beer drinkin’, square dancin’, pants hikin’, lip smackin’ good time! I have a spacious yard in lovely Eagan with lots of room for kids and adults to run around and have a good time…maybe a little volleyball tourney? Anyway…this was Nate’s idea so you can thank him for the good time afterwards.  I’m thinkin’ bring your own grillable items and libations and whatever else you like…and we will have lots to offer here on top of that. How does a 3:00 start time sound? I really hope y’all can make it…lemme know as soon as you can so I can plan accordingly. I will give you directions as you respond.

Glenn told me it was my month to pick, and the planets aligned for me to actually have a good cheap show to offer. So these guys are friends of mine, since high school and we’re even related somehow. That said, they are definitely the most accomplished musicians I know. Pure genious, whether in Fitzgerald or their new project Ghost in the Water. Where Fitzgerald was quirky folk rock meets electronic layering, GITW is almost all electronics, done in a very intentionally wierd and ironic way. Since I don’t normally listen to this style of music, my best advice would be to go to their show and just give it a shot. They are also quite funny people. On my top ten for sure.

I saw Annuals on Conan, liked their funky festive sound and the strange array of instruments and personnel. I am posting some of their tunes on the ftp site. Cover is $10.00. I have no idea whether or not it will sell out. It just might. Being an early show we can hang out in dinky town afterwards and Aaron can show us all where he spent his 7 years of college.

The pick for May, local indie-rock stalwarts the Rank Strangers at the Hexagon Bar. There is a bunch of openers, non of which I know anything about. Hope to see some of you there.

I’ve been waiting about 4 years to see this show, nows my chance! Come along with me to check out Mel Gibson and the Pants at the Entry on Friday Night.
Conor
In their own words:
“Equal parts underground hip-hop and electronic rock band, Mel Gibson and the Pants are rarely as hilarious as their name might imply. Instead, the band’s sound is defined by an unusual combination of aggressive bass lines, cinematic keyboard sequences, and epic guitar riffs, supported by both live and electronic beats. Rapper Harold Sanders Jr. occupies the accessory nearly as often as he does the primary role, weaving rhymes in and out of the thick web woven by his five-piece band.”
“MG and the Pants established themselves in the Minneapolis music scene with the release of their debut album, 2004’s “a mannequin american.” Since then, they’ve gathered a wide audience of music fans and artists alike. Their 2005 follow-up,”w/guitar” had them collaborating with some of the areas best rappers and musicians, including P.O.S., Eyedea, Sims, Mike Lewis, Travis Bos of Chariots and many others. MG has played shows everywhere from some kids high school graduation party in Eau Claire, WI, to the Knitting Factory in New York, NY.”

Hey all! This is the post for the March DAPPER event. This month we decided to give the pick to Nate again since we all missed his pick last month. Nate passed on his pick since he is busy with his new house purchase (congrats yo!), so the pick went to Nick, the newest DAPPER member. Well, we found out Nick won’t be able to make it either (family Easter obligations) and so Conor and I made the executive decision to make the pick on behalf of Nate/Nick. Soooo, this month’s pick is the Liquor Pigs. I have never seen them, but have heard their stuff on the radio and have wanted to check them out for a while now. Also, I am told that Mayslacks makes a mean roast beef sandwich…never been there, so I might have to head there a little early and try out the menu. So we shall see the pigs of liquor no? April pick goes to Conor on the weekend of April 19th….hope to see anyone who can make it this weekend….take it easy all you daddys and papas.
