It’s taken shockingly long to have a Macalester band Live From Garth’s Living Room session, but here it finally is! Geyser rips – from three part vocal harmonies to articulate drums and everything in between, Geyser displays knowledge of how to craft a rock song that is at once technical […]

Splimit brings a zany, fun energy to their music, constantly keeping the listener on their feet with unexpected grooves, rhythms, and asides that never feel unnatural. This band is a weird one in the best kind of ways. If you liked what you heard: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Splimit/

I am tempted to write “check out this band, they’re going places in 2019” in pretty much every Live From Garth’s Living Room video description, but I hold back because I don’t want to say the same thing every time. Risk of repetition aside, though, I believe I can say […]
Strange Relations was one of the first Minnesota bands I knew about when moving out here three years ago, so it’s wild that I only saw them for the first time a month or so before this session! They’re a rockin’ two-piece that has no issue filling the space that […]
DENNIS, a band whose name brings to mind classic A’s closer Dennis Eckersley and countless other great Dennis-es of past and present, does it justice.

Slow Bullet ripped through 4 songs in Garth’s Living Room, and here are two of those songs: The Fiscal Year and Love Song from their 2016 record Still Close Enough To Go Back on Blood & Ink Records. Look out for their upcoming release, if the new songs they played […]
Minneapolis based JØUR is Jourdan, a multi-medium artist. Here, she performs her single Black Hole. If you like alt-pop beats with vocals that dance between delicately whimsical and unapologetically powerful, you will love JØUR.

Casual RIPS. What else is there to say? They groove rhythmically in a way few heavy bands manage to do (these drum parts are catchy!), and can also produce 45 second outbursts of catharsis seemingly on demand. MPLS once again proving that it knows what’s up! If you liked what […]
