2025-11-08 18:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Weekend Picnic
Weekend Picnic is a band set apart. With a goal to make super accessible rock music, Weekend Picnic is a melting pot of flavors and styles. Hard rock is probably the broadest genre title for them, but they constantly push those genre borders by incorporating influences from pop, dance, metalcore, metal, pop rock, punk rock, and many others to bring you a high energy, rhythmic, and grooving product that is sure to get you singing along at the top of your lungs!

Perfectly Still
Since bursting on the scene with ‘Never Coming Back’ and ‘Save Me’ (2022), the inaugural Bacon-town Throwdown champions, Perfectly Still have began building their career on more than music. Blending Nu-metal and Modern hard rock, the Perfectly Still sound brings more to the table than what meets the ear. Introducing sci-fi narratives and a gripping live show with colorful effects, and an emphatic presence, the band aims to deliver an experience that leaves consumers craving for more. Fully independent, the band is partnered with fans and their motivation to bring forth new experiences that began with ‘Synthetic’ (May 2024), tours throughout the U.S., and a remix of their single ‘Up In Flames’ (Chronicles 2023), paired with a thrilling cinematic music video, Perfectly Still leaves room for infinite expansion and much more to come.

We Are Arya

We Are Arya is a powerhouse hard rock band. Bringing you a stong mix of rock and metal rhythms with a contrasting pop rock vocal.
As a band that is not satisfied with the status quo, We Are Arya is the right band at the right time. Armed with catchy hooks, powerful melodies, heavy guitars, pounding and pulsating rhythms and soaring vocals, We Are Arya seeks to bring a heavier sound and a positive outlook to the world of rock music.

Gradience
Gradience is a high-energy four-piece rock band blending classic and modern rock and metal influences. Formed in 2019 at Minnesota State University Moorhead, the band—John Dvorak, Darian Clark, Ford Johnson, and Tom Nelson—used the pandemic downtime to refine their sound and record their debut single “Darkest Hour.” After a 2021 regional tour across North Dakota and Minnesota, they released their self-produced debut album THE CALL in 2022, showcasing their drive and evolving sound.

Video Game Night with Booster Pack, DLC, and Dogsplusplus
2025-11-14 18:00 - 22:00
Booster Pack
Booster Pack is a 9-person Video Game Music (VGM) fusion band that focuses on bringing the joys of video games from the screen to your ears! Combining video games, funk, jazz, rock, and even latin all into one deck to deal out to the listener.
DLC
Down Loadable Collective (DLC) is a VGM group specializing in bringing the improvisatory freshness of the jazz language to the rich music of video games. An emphasis is placed on creating each performance as different from the last, using the musical language of VGM as a launching pad for musical expression.
Dogsplusplus

Basement Heroes with Outside Kids and Not Your Baby
2025-11-14 21:00 - 23:30
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.

'Tiz the Season to be Buzzin': A Funky Holiday
2025-12-19 18:30 - 22:00
Get ready to trade in your “Silent Night” for a not-so-silent evening of groove…!
Join us at Day Block Brewery for ‘Tiz the Szn to be Buzzin’: A Funky Holiday with The Cicadas, a night of warm light, cold beer, festive sweaters, and music that’ll keep your toes tapping even in the dead of winter. And yes — we’re hosting a Holiday Sweater Competition, so bring your boldest, brightest, or most questionably cozy knitwear to compete for glory.
The night kicks off with BLVCKBVRN, a Minneapolis indie/alt artist whose genre-blurring blend of alternative pop, indie rock, and R&B creates an unmistakably magnetic sound. Paired up with the genius guitarist Jon Elconin and joined on select tracks by vocalist Daleiden, BLVCKBVRN delivers vivid storytelling and catchy melodies that pull you in from the first note. With a long list of projects on streaming platforms and new releases on the way, his set is raw, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
Next up is Brunch, an eight-piece soul-pop powerhouse serving up an infectious amount of funk. Their spicy horn lines, slick grooves, and catchy melodies turn the brewery into a dance floor in seconds. With a repertoire spanning stylized originals to soulful takes on classic funk and pop tunes, Brunch provides exactly the kind of warmth a Minnesota winter calls for.
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!
Time: Friday, December 19th, Doors 6:30pm, Music 7pm.
Tickets: $10 presale, $15 day of show.
This is one holiday show you won’t want to miss.
