We got the hits, we got deep cuts, we got songs within songs - it’s a whole vibe ... NOW how much would you pay? Well, it’s $12 in advance (tix link in bio), $15 at the door, so hopefully that’s in the ballpark … doors at 7:30pm, music at 8pm! It’s gonna be so much fun, you won’t even care you’re not at that overrated Art-a-Whirl logjam or whatever … See ya at the #gig, it’s destined to be one for the ages! 🚨 📸: @ktmoan

HAPPY 5-0 B-RAD the Ranger! Not a bad-looking bunch considering a collective 196 years of age - and that’s including 196 Minnesota winters, woof! 🥶 You are truly 1:1 @bradxgunnarson , and we are legit #blessed to have you in our lives. THANK YOU for ALL that you do for us and ALL the bands for which you “work” (in quotes because you refuse to be paid for your tireless, selfless efforts) in MPLS and across the upper Midwest. Stoked to see what kinda RAD adventures the next half-century has in store for ya! 🎂 📸 courtesy of the absolutely amazing @katytothekelly_photos 🙏 - these were taken at last wknd’s B-Gunn b-day bash at @pilllarforum !

SATURDAY: join us at @pilllarforum alongside @exactlynoband , @johnnyrookmusic + @drownthelifeguard as we celebrate 50 years of @bradxgunnarson being the baddest (and most selfless) mf in the Minnesota music scene! For those not in the know, Brad basically does EVERYTHING for us - graphic design, photography, video, social media promo, vinyl pressing, merch design + ordering, merch sales at shows, digital distribution, banner hanging … But that’s not ALL … Brad does the same for scores of MN bands (including ALL the other groups we’re in like @twoharborsmusic , @alignrock , @deadhistoryband + the bands listed above and many, many more) and he NEVER asks for anything in return. He’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes team player and we’d be totally screwed without his tireless efforts. He’s the 5th owl, the 6th man of the year, the unsung MVP, the GOAT - and just a really nice fella to boot. So come help us raise a glass to the guy who makes everything go, and support a space (Pillar Forum) that has been a cornerstone of the NE MPLS community, and a bastion of HOW YOU MF DO IT during the ICE occupation. Give your money to businesses who actually care about ALL of us! On our end of the deal, we promise to play our gd guts out - some new stuff, some recently unearthed old stuff, and a ripping cover tune we’re GEEKED about … plus it’s our first MPLS show in over 4 months, so you know we’re ALL fired 🆙 NOTE: early show - ALL AGES! Saturday, April 11 @cardinalsunrecords showcase Doors: 6pm | Music 6:30pm 30min sets, we’re 3rd of 4 bands $15 adv | $17 dos Ticket link in bio ⬆️ #bradgunnarson #bgunn #cardinalsunrecords

Thanks to @ghettoblastermagazine + @sweetcheetahpr for the digital inkage on our gnu tune “Double Play” (now streaming everywhere) + our split 7” with @yeah.quit , released by @landlandcolportage just yesterday - link to order in biography, buddies 👆👆👆

Forever in my S tier of all-time most influential bands/drummers. Prepping for a very special night with dear pals. Our secret journey shall soon be revealed! PS: anyone got a set of octobans for hire?

RAD OWL! QUIT! OMG! At long last, this “florisota” beast of a split 7” is OUT NOW, pulling together Florida punk cult legends @yeah.quit & Minneapolis/Mankato hometown heroes @radowlband onto one cute little (fierce) record! Despite the geographic divide here, the influence of Miami’s QUIT somehow hit our tiny Mankato punk scene at the absolute perfect time (along with Green Day’s Kerplunk and the first couple Samiam LPs and that invincible Big Drill Car album) to spawn a LEGION of inspired bands of our own, including the early bands of the dudes who’d later end up forming RAD OWL. This split 7” (limited to 507 copies, naturally) was originally made to commemorate a handful of shows that brought QUIT up here to play a few shows last summer, but due to some Landlandian nonsense (it was me), we’ve just now finally got all the parts together to bring this thing into the world the right way. The vinyl is a mix of assorted colors—shipping at random—and there are three DIFFERENT sleeves with art by Dan Black (that’s me, hi), which stack up to form one tall 21” x 7” illustration. These will also ship out at random (but if you want a specific one, say that in the order notes and I bet we can make it happen). It’s all up in the Landland bandcamp right now, as well as the Rad Owl & Quit ones too. Links in all the bios, I’m sure. We also have a special BUNDLE right now so that the completists out there (like me) can grab ONE OF EACH of the covers. All the art was hand-drawn and then screenprinted by Rebecca “@rlsunde ” Sunde on very nice thick blue paper here at Landland, as we always do. They’re also hand-numbered. Pop-punk but make it fancy. Long post, but I’m very stoked about this thing. Another thing where the present-day me gets a chance to really freak out the little kid version of me with a thing I couldn’t have imagined was possible. Grab these while you can…the bands have half of them at their shows, so they’re pretty limited online. Thanks!
