Thought this was a pretty cool combination...

Just a couple months after playing the last of the Repacements’ shows in Portugal, Tommy Stinson is already ready to hit the road again, this time fronting a new MVP-class band that will hit the Turf Club on Sept. 12 with Steve Selvidge of the Hold Steady on guitar and Guns N’ Roses drummer Frank Ferrer. The Minneapolis rock legend also just dropped a new charity single online and has two more new songs coming on a 7-inch single next month.

-----------------------------------

For those of you who haven't listened to Tommy's solo stuff - I recommend Village Gorilla Head. It's funny how similar sounding solo Tommy and solo Paul sound at times. VGH is certainly superior to some of Westerberg's solo stuff, although I know to some people that's not saying a lot. One Man Mutiny is a decent record too. This is a great track:

Steve got this gig via his Memphis connections and the fact that he is highly talented and reliably dependable both musically and socially.

Man, even the rock stars are square these days. So much for trying to get rich by being addicted, poorly dressed, and some version of unkempt.

Yeah, it is Smoothies and kale these days.

Although Steve knows his way around a grill with the better parts of a cow.

Not to disrespect Steve, but anyone can grill the better parts of a cow. The real mark of a craftsman is when they succeed in cooking the less-better parts of a cow. Just saying.
