Basement Heroes with Outside Kids and Not Your Baby
2025-11-14 21:00 - 23:30 (America/Chicago) | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Basement Heroes
Basement Heroes are three cool guys looking for other cool guys, gals, and humans to listen to their music. They make a combination of pop-punk, emo, and alternative music that somehow…works? From nonsensical song titles to electronic-inspired breakdowns, you’re sure to be left thinking “What the [expletive] did I just listen to?”
Outside Kids
The Outside Kids are a self-described “Millennial core/pop-punk band” that formed out a mutual love of Warped Tour energy and pop-punk angst. Flamboyant, hilarious ADD moments and a general sense of “why the f*** not?” pervades their shows and music, and they are not limited by any constraint of genre, often playing shows with trombones, turntables, and multiple guitar changes. However, their core sound is easily identifiable to fans of mid-2000s Green Day and blink 182, Billy Talent, My Chemical Romance, Goldfinger, and Backseat Lovers.

Not Your Baby
Not Your Baby is an indie-alternative band from Minneapolis. All members are songwriters, combining their distinct indie, punk, alt, and emo signature styles into eclectic, genre-busting songs. The band features multiple singers, and their performances are general, queer chaos. They might not be your baby, but you are certainly theirs.

Closing out the night is Rada K & The Cicadas, bringing their signature ecosystem of sound to ring in the holiday season. Built on the easy chemistry of singer Rada Kolarova, bassist Pete Collova, guitarist Joshua Shaffer, and percussionist Miles Whealy, the band weaves velvet vocals, melodic bass, sparkling guitar, and inventive rhythms into narrative that’s intimate, joyful, and alive. Their whimsical originals trace the arc of falling in love across Twin Cities seasons, while their funky, familiar covers — from Stevie Wonder to SZA to Vulfpeck — send the room into motion. With their EP “Love Songs by Rada” out now and new dance tracks on the way, The Cicadas wrap the night in warmth, charm, and groove.
So gather your friends, grab your best holiday sweater, and join us for community, creativity, and a buzzy banger of a night!

Sunsets Over Flowers | Sigcell | Valors
2026-01-03 18:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Valors
Minneapolis loud boys, Valors, are Ian Valor (vocals/guitar), Tanner Montague (drums), and Chad Hofland (bass). Their first album, Everyday Saints, was produced by the band and recorded by Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recording. Since then, they’ve curated a more relentless sound that captures the nostalgia of the ’90s, with the energy of a hungry honey badger. The band combines smoky vocals and woofy bass with lots of riffs, drum solos, and aggressive guitar solos. It’s a rock ‘n’ roll buffet, baby.
Sigcell
Sigcell, embraces their shapeshifting ways and returns with Transhuman, an album miles from the alt‐americana sound of 2019’s Pile of Ghosts but just around the corner and down a dirty alley from their electronically dense debut, The Poet. Drawn from the band’s many influences such as Pixies, Elbow, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Cure, Transhuman evolves the traditions of alt, psych, and prog rock.
Sunsets Over Flowers
Sunsets Over Flowers delivers an ode to previous lovers with elements of grunge, psychedelic, shoegaze and poetry. Nostalgic sound leaving us in-between abandonment and desolation.

Ryan Knight

“The radio was always playing.” That’s how simply Ryan Knight described his musical education growing up in Mapleton, a small farming community along Iowa’s western border. “Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, I couldn’t get enough. They made me nostalgic for places I’ve never been.” Knight has made his living making strangers feel the same way about his music. Americana music is root-sy and melodic, filling the sonic space somewhere between Folk, Rock, and Country. Ryan has settled into his place as one of the premier up and coming Americana acts the Twin Cities has to offer. Over the last year, Knight has been working nonstop on his debut album. He’s also playing shows every chance he gets, always working to make a connection with his audience. His music has been described as emotional, folk storytelling with enough rock-n-roll edge to break your heart and pull it back together in a matter of minutes. “It’s about characters for me. Songwriting has always been a way to tell a story, some good and some bad but the story has to be solid for me to inspire myself or an audience”
