Newmad Tuesdays
The Nomad World Pub

Sure, I could tell you plenty about each of these bands. I could tell you how Tuesdays Robot deftly blend sharp-edged political folk with charmingly sincere and catchy acoustic rollicks. I could go on and on about how Brothers Quetico pushes and kicks at the edges of an acoustic-driven swampiness with a fluid and nimble musical grace that’s equal parts noise-rock and jug band. Or I could even get rapturous over The Turns crunchy brand of pop rock. But that’s not really the point. The point is these bands can’t send me press photos or talk about all the gigs they’ve played because they’re too damn new and exciting. This coming Tuesday and every other Tuesday through the whole mosquito-filled summer, Pulse and the Nomad are sponsoring the kind of new band night you remember from back in the good old days. Nothing but brand spanking new talent for the basement-bargain price of nada, zip, zilch, ZERO. Come wrangle a booth, stake out a spot on the patio, fall in love, and have the time of your life hearing bands so new they still have friends numbering in the low three digits on MySpace. Just enjoy it, because you never know: this could be your last summer. Featuring Brothers Quetico, The Turns and Tuesdays Robot. 9 p.m. Free. 21+. 501 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-338-6424.
