Right across the street from Minneapolis's famous First Avenue nightclub, where a younger Dave Grohl played some of his earliest gigs with Nirvana, his band the Foo Fighters took the stage in the arena sized Target Center for one hell of a good show. The Foos had in tow with them young, upstart punk rockers Against Me! and former System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian.

Irish and punk-rock heritage came together at the Myth in Maplewood last Sunday Nov. 11th for a rocking good time.  The Dropkick Murphys brought their unique style of celtic punk through town, complete with bagpipes. The Murphys had veteran celtic rockers The Tossers and a younger band The Briggs in tow as openers.
