THE BIG SLEEP
CALUTRON GIRL
SOMATIC FUZZ

"The Big Sleep is as indebted to its influences as any band is, but on Sleep Forever the members take bold enough steps to shake the influences clear. Sure, the riffing still reminisces of Tony Iommi or Jimmy Page and the blistering feedback of Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore lingers throughout. But The Big Sleep owns the foundations of these songs...Sleep Forever distinguishes [the band] as a force in its own right."

MINNESOTA SUR SEINE PRESENTS...
URSUS MINOR

LA RUMEUR

La Rumeur, one of the leading French underground rap groups, emerged in 1997 from Elancourt, a suburb south of Paris. Before issuing their first full-length debut record, MCs EkouÈ, HamÈ, Mourad, and Philippe (all graduates of French universities) distributed independent solo singles at their shows: "Le Poison d'Avril" (1997), "Le Franc Tireur" (1998), and "Le Bavar" and "Le Paria" (1999). Following these singles, their fan base grew quickly and then came their first group album, "L’ombre sur la mesure" (EMI, 2002). The record was an homage to the immigrant experiences of their parents' generation, focusing on the Paris massacre of Algerians in 1961, and on the high rate of police abuse of immigrants. One group member, HamÈ, was taken to court by the Interior Minister in 2002 for a magazine article accompanying the release of that first album, with its mention of police crimes. The next album, "Regain de Tension," was released in 2004 after the Interior Ministry had failed to silence the group. That brave Interior Minister who took on HamÈ was one Nicolas Sarkozy, now President of France. La Rumeur’s next record, "Du Coeur ‡ l’outrage," was released in 2007 on their own label, La Rumeur records. Despite Sarkozy’s lawsuit, historians and artists have defended La Rumeur (considered by some to be the most controversial rap group in France), describing their lyrics not as "inciting to violence" but as prophetic measures to avoid violence by giving voice to feelings in the tense suburbs. La Rumeur has a strong sense of history; they identify themselves clearly as sons and daughters of an immigrant generation who helped build contemporary France under inhuman conditions. But they have no pretension to be the voice of the people. They say "singing a song for 500 people is writing 500 songs." The name of group (the rumor) speaks for itself.

Inviting hip hop artists is nothing new for Ursus Minor, who invited for their first two concerts and their first record artists such as Dead Prez, Boots Riley, Spike, and D’ de Kabal, and who later performed with Eyedea and Brother Ali. This will be the group’s fourth Minnesota sur Seine performance, and is a warmup for their next French summer tour. With "Zugzwang," their first record, Ursus Minor (Latin name for the star constellation "Little Bear") made their entry into the 21st century with an approach anchored in current world issues, yet boosted by lessons from the past. In 2005/2006, they toured France and recorded "Nucular" with Brother Ali as a guest on two tracks. They also composed and performed the soundtrack of Jean Marboeuf’s film"Coup de Sang."

Guy Darol wrote in "Jazz" magazine in February 2007 that "Jean Marboeuf has chosen Ursus Minor (which gives an idea of his genius) to create the music of a film noir with few colored touches. . . . The sparkling inventiveness of Ursus Minor (that explodes in the bomb album "Nucular") is the precise grammar that should be going with those pictures of an end of the world."

THREADBARE (REUNION!!!)
STORY OF THE SEA

Threadbare will be reuniting for one show at the Triple Rock Social Club on Friday July 18, 2008. Threadbare was one of the most influential bands to come out of the Minnesota hardcore scene in the mid 90's with an emotional, metallic sound that proved to be years ahead of it's time. They released a 7" on Watermark Records in 1994 and followed that up with "Feeling Older Faster" and "Escapist", both on Doghouse Records. Threadbare also appeared on compilations such as Twin Cities Hardcore "No Slow, All Go", Ebullition Records "XXX", and the classic Anti-Matter comp. Members of Threadbare have gone on to perform and record with Snapcase, 108, The Blinding Light, The Judas Factor, and Seconds Before, among others. This will be their first show together since 1996 and will be a benefit to raise money for a memorial scholarship in honor of Stephanie Perry (sister of bassist Dustin Perry), who lost her brave fight with cancer in 2006. Story Of The Sea are opening.
