City On The Make - 9/12 at 400 Bar

Local band City on the Make has put out the following press release (I love when someone else does my work for me):

"City on the Make will be headlining a show on Friday, September 12th at the 400 Bar. This night will be the culmination of a long summer full of fun and mischief, packed shows, not so packed shows, sweat soaked parties, a new EP, a first tour, new joints that rip off the Jefferson's theme song, hard working days, long nights, and the literal and figurative bumps and scrapes of another hot summer done passed in our lives.

This will be the last City on the Make show in the Twin Cities for a couple months, as Mischa Kegan, our guitarist, is moving to Chicago to pursue a master's in the art of lovin'. The band is by no means on hiatus, but will not be playing too many local shows in months to come.

This past year has been incredible for us, as we have received so much support here at home, and despite the stress and setbacks of a year in the life, we feel really lucky to have so many friends in Minneapolis. Every person who has come out to our shows, copped a CD or an E.P., requested us on the radio, or brought their friends out to see us has made this more than worthwhile. I feel confident in saying that we as a band, have as much as anybody in this town, and that we strive to provide the same to our friends and fans. We hope you can make it out to this one to get down with us before the winter comes.

Expect a LONG rock and roll set from City on the Make (we believe in long sets), high energy funk and soul from the Capitol City Soul Tones, and tight fit together indie rock from local new jacks Modern Fonts. An utterly danceable evening, bound to move the heart and soul.

Thank you for your support.

Love and Sincerity,

Michael Massey and the Boys"

Their new EP entitled $1,000,000, which is not nearly as expensive as you'd expect it to be, can be heard in its entirety on their website, cityonthemake.net. If their infectious song stylings are not enough to tempt you to attend their show on Friday, you can watch a taping of an earlier performance over at Empty's Tapes, the excellent local blog which showcases a variety of torrents of live shows. If you're still not convinced to go, what the hell is wrong with you? You don't like rock and roll or something? For fans of local rock, this show is a must-see, and their last performance for a while, so make sure to get your ass out there and prepare it for some serious old-fashioned whiskey-tinged shaking.
