Heliotrope VI, 28/29/30 May, Ritz Theater Minneapolis

Savage Clone · 03.14.2009, 07:23 PM

Our sixth installment of our festival highlighting the Minneapolis/St Paul underground is happening again this year at the posh Ritz Theater in Minneapolis. The fest has only gotten better with each year, and we're very excited about this year's lineup.

I know there are only a few people in our area who read this board, but if you are so inclined, we would love to see you there!

Are Gay Beast still around??

Savage Clone · 03.17.2009, 08:40 PM

Yeah, Gay Beast are still around and they still rule.
They rule so hard that they have a new LP/CD coming out on SKIN GRAFT and will be on tour during the festival.
I am so happy for them, I can't even tell you.

Savage Clone · 05.23.2009, 03:41 PM

Coming up!

Savage Clone · 05.23.2009, 07:50 PM

Just got a great silkscreened poster from two very talented local poster artists (this town is just as good in this department as it is musically). Whoa.

blunderbuss · 05.24.2009, 12:28 AM

When you bringing that shit to the UK, SC?

Savage Clone · 05.24.2009, 10:55 AM

If you write the grant proposal, I'll gladly bring 25 area acts to your country.

Savage Clone · 05.29.2009, 08:39 AM

Excellent times last night! Can't wait for tonight and tomorrow!

This looks awesome!!!! How much is admittance?? I'm listening to flavor crystals right now and i'm digging it.

are any of the shows going to be dancier?? or is it all ambient?

Savage Clone · 05.31.2009, 02:42 AM

The second half of the night was a total zombie dance frenzy. Pics soon.
It was HUGE. I feel so thankful and so tired.

I think these crappy clips I took of Skoal Kodiak last night might answer that.
Two very raw snippets from my photo camera. Zombie dance action in full effect.

Better youtube clips from more bands!

TENDER MEAT

VAMPIRE HANDS (camera went weird, but it's "psychedelic")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPa3rEXbsB8

SKOAL KODIAK (starts dark, gets light quickly!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOJ92zFKP3c

I feel very fortunate to live here at this time and to know these fine musicians who will play at events dreamed up by me and my friends.
What a weekend.

Better_Than_Deux · 05.31.2009, 06:46 PM

i wanted to go real bad. it was fairly cheap too for all the good music and location and so on.

but then i got lost walking around lake harriet.

whatta shame.

hey, savage, you should add me on space or take my email or something so you can inform me of more things like this.. im really bummed i missed out.

Savage Clone · 05.31.2009, 06:49 PM

Happens every year; send us a friend request. myspace is /heliotropefestival. You'll stay in the loop. Considering how expensive it is to put this on, we try to make it as cheap as possible. 26 bands for 20 bucks; not too shabby. And an all ages venue where people can still get drinks is pretty nice. Seriously though, check these bands out if they play someplace you can get in!

Savage Clone · 06.08.2009, 04:21 PM

Here's a short television piece taken during the first night of this year's fest; appearances by Paul Metzger, James L of Roaratorio and my co-curator Rich and his band Take Acre, along with Young Quitters and International Novelty Gamelan:
