A little Desk Contest

Happy Easter everyone! With the month of March also being the submission time for NPR's tiny desk concert contest, we got to see many of Minnesota's local artists pull out all the stops in an attempt to showcase what it is about their music that is truly special. 

We've compiled a list of some of our favorite videos, in no particular order, that we saw going around the interwebs. Don't worry, no Hobo Johnson. 


Tucker Sterling Jensen - Delusions
Jensen showcases his solo, electric guitar storytelling with the assistance of three other incredible Minnesota artists. Lena Elizabeth, Laura Hugo, and Lydia Liza.

​
Laura Hugo - Not Even a Little Bit
We've seen Hugo perform this song at many an open mic as a solo acoustic track, but with the addition of Tucke
r Sterling Jensen (Bass), Rachelle LaNae (Vocals), Joe Peterson (Nord), Ben Peterson (Drums), and Eli Elstad (Guitar), it's not hard to see why this track made our list.
​Jeff Krause - Nobody Else in the Room
Krause knows how to set a mood. With sincere vocals, telling a story about a love that could be better, Kruase touches all our hearts. The candles are a nice touch as well. 
Freaque - Marriage in a Graveyard
This tune is a perfect example of storytelling with more than just the lyrics. The harmonies, and accompaniment make the words he sings that much stronger. Gabriel Rodrick and Izzy Buckner have composed a solemn masterpiece.

Who should you Hear - Jennie Lawless

Jennie Lawless released her debut solo EP "Two Songs" earlier this March. It's a combination of catchy synth hooks, addictive melodies, and her unique style. Best known as the front woman of the band Warehouse Eyes, Lawless is now out on her own to make her "clumsy folk songs, with a new edge" as she puts it. You can find her EP "Two Songs" on iTunes and Spotify!

Meteor Base helped new local band "Back to Rapture" with their debut album "Episode I". Soon to be available on Spotify, and iTunes! This EDM, Synthwave, Rap Duo is something to behold. It's fun, exciting, thought provoking, and filled with bangers.

April is also the first month we are having the Meteor Base Showcase. ​​The showcase will take place every first Monday of the month, at the Troubadour Wine Bar in Uptown. Each show is free upon admission, so come out and support local music.
