The Over Unders | Monarch | The Social Cues
2026-07-25 18:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
The Over Unders
The Over Unders are an Eau Claire/Minneapolis Alt Rock four-piece comprised of brothers Sam (Guitar and Vocals) and Matthew (Drums) Hellman, bassist Jake Morley, and lead guitarist Ben Schwaller. Their fresh and enthusiastic take on classic rock n’ roll is often likened to their major influences who fall all along the diverse spectrum of power pop and classic alternative. Principal songwriter Sam Hellman’s favorites come through most, giving the majority of their tunes a “Big Star meets Replacements, by way of Gin Blossoms” vibe. Think Old 97’s and Ted Leo too, as these are common names mentioned when describing the Over Unders’ simple but complete sound. Perhaps what sets them apart from their indie peers most is their simultaneous willingness to shoot for the stars with anthemic rock songs that seek to emulate their heroes REM, and very fittingly, brother rock giants Oasis. Above all else, The Over Unders value well crafted songs that deliver honest confessions and observations about life. Their 2022 EP “No Soap Radio” went to work for them (Featuring “Rhonda” with 58K+ spotify streams), landing them a spot at legendary Minneapolis rock club 7th St. Entry, as well as a slot at Cadott, Wisconsin’s Rockfest. Now located in Minneapolis, the band is continuing to build their following off the release of their 2025 LP “Faces and Time.
The Social Cues
Social Cues (Formerly John Forrest and The Model Citizens) is a four piece alternative rock band based in Minneapolis, MN. Owing their formation to a Craigslist ad put out by frontman Forrest Ward, the band began playing music together in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consisting of Forrest Ward on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ben Schwaller on lead guitar, Druby Soho on bass guitar, and Mitchell Warner holding it all together on the drums, the band writes and performs music that resonates with those who occasionally feel isolated in the digital age
Join us on Saturday, July 25, at Day Block Brewing Tap Room for an evening of original alternative rock featuring The Over Unders and The Social Cues.
Hailing from the Eau Claire/Minneapolis scene, The Over Unders have built a reputation for energetic performances and timeless songwriting. The four-piece—brothers Sam Hellman (guitar/vocals) and Matthew Hellman (drums), alongside bassist Jake Morley and lead guitarist Ben Schwaller—blends the heart of classic rock with the hooks of power pop and alternative rock. Their sound has been described as “Big Star meets The Replacements by way of Gin Blossoms,” while also drawing inspiration from R.E.M., Oasis, Old 97’s, and Ted Leo. Anchored by Sam Hellman’s honest lyrics and memorable melodies, the band delivers anthemic songs that are equal parts nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Following the success of their 2022 EP No Soap Radio—which featured the fan favorite “Rhonda” with more than 58,000 Spotify streams—the band earned performances at Minneapolis’ legendary 7th St. Entry and Wisconsin’s Rock Fest. Now based in Minneapolis, they’re continuing to expand their audience with their 2025 full-length album, Faces and Time.
Opening the night are The Social Cues, a Minneapolis alternative rock quartet whose songs capture the emotions of navigating life in the digital age. Originally formed during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic after a Craigslist ad from frontman Forrest Ward, the band has grown into a compelling live act featuring Ward (vocals/rhythm guitar), Ben Schwaller (lead guitar), Druby Soho (bass), and Mitchell Warner (drums). Their thoughtful songwriting, driving guitars, and dynamic performances connect with anyone who’s ever felt a little disconnected in an increasingly connected world.

Matt Herzog Band ( EP Release Party ) | Cain & Co.
2026-07-30 18:00 - 21:30 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Matt Herzog Band ( EP Release Party ) 7:50pm – 9:30pm
Join us on the patio at Day Block Brewing on Thursday, July 30, for a special summer evening celebrating the album release of songwriter and guitarist Matt Herzog and his band.
Following a solo debut album that spurred five years of performances, songwriter/guitarist Matt Herzog was inspired to record his second album, Under The Stack, which fuses American Rock genres and the soulful, funky-blues sound of Minneapolis.
Herzog curated the group of diverse musical backgrounds starting with pocket bassist Tim Kennedy and skilled drummer Graham Peterson delivering the tight, rhythm section. Maia Sletten’s pristine, folksy harmonies complement Matt’s captivating lyrics and crafty guitar hooks while keyboardist George Bergh accompanies it all through melodic, instrumental passages.
The addition of a horn section (Brady Moroney/tenor sax, Rob Kocher/trumpet, Brian Robran/trumpet) has expanded the group’s sonic range and live energy. Still, the collective is intentional about listening for the explosive or delicate dynamics that the moment calls for.
Under The Stack, recorded at The Terrarium (Engineer Jason Obergfoll), mixed by Kevin Bowe and mastered by Bruce Templeton has a street day of 7/31/2026 with two tracks releasing throughout July.

Cain & Co. 6:45pm – 7:30pm
Northern boys with a southern twang. Cain & Co. brings the traditions of Skynyrd up north. Hailing from St. Paul, MN, Michael “Chris” Cain leads a dynamic blues-rock ensemble steeped in Southern tradition. Drawing inspiration from legends like The Allman Brothers, American Aquarium, and Blackberry Smoke, the band crafts a sound that’s both soulful and electrifying. With Gabe Voland on guitar, Gunnar Bergman pounding the drums, Gavin Peterson holding down the bass, and Doug Grimm adding depth on keys, they create a musical journey that resonates with authenticity and grit.
Following the release of his solo debut and five years of performing throughout the region, Herzog returns with Under The Stack, a powerful new collection of songs that blends American rock traditions with the soulful, funky blues spirit of Minneapolis. Recorded at The Terrarium, mixed by Kevin Bowe, and mastered by Bruce Templeton, the album officially arrives on July 31, making this performance the perfect chance to hear the music live before release day.
Herzog has assembled a dynamic group of musicians whose diverse backgrounds create a rich and compelling sound. Bassist Tim Kennedy and drummer Graham Peterson provide a deep, driving groove, while Maia Sletten’s warm harmonies elevate Herzog’s thoughtful lyrics and memorable guitar hooks. Keyboardist George Bergh adds melodic textures throughout the set, and an expanded horn section featuring Brady Moroney (tenor sax), Rob Kocher (trumpet), and Brian Robran (trumpet) brings even more energy, color, and excitement to the band’s live performance. Together, they balance explosive moments with delicate musical interplay, creating a show that is both powerful and nuanced.
Opening the evening is Michael Chris Cain and Cain & Co., a blues-rock powerhouse from St. Paul. Inspired by bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, and Blackberry Smoke, the group delivers a gritty, soulful sound full of Southern swagger and Northern heart.
Come enjoy great music, craft beer, and a memorable night under the summer sky as two outstanding Minnesota bands take the patio stage. Doors open early—arrive hungry, grab a pint, and celebrate the release of Under The Stack.

Buckaroux Banshees | Unattractive Giant Monster | Atomic Lights | Blur Curve
2026-07-30 18:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Buckaroux Banshees
Twin Cities “Resident Party Punkers”

Buckaroux Banshees have been performing high energy live shows — from basements to bar rooms — since 2013.

“Riff-forward and reality-bitten, we’re here to keep the aging spirit of punk rock not just alive
— but foaming at the mouth.”

Unattractive Giant Monster
Unattractive Giant Monster is a post genre, weirdo sewer punk band from the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Fueled by hot dogs and inspired by bands like The Butthole Surfers, Devo, and Diarrhea Planet, UGM is ready to party.
Atomic Lights
Atomic Lights began in the summer of 2012. 3 piece high speed rock and roll with a knack for the noisier side of things. Stay Loud.
Blur Curve
We like it loud and fast.
Born from Grunge, BlurCurve have always been somewhere musically in-between. Neither Grunge nor Progressive Metal, Shoegaze nor Hardcore, BlurCurve have forged their own path toward 2023’s Pluto & The Fool. What started as two lifelong friends jamming to whatever felt good and playing as loud as possible, turned into a journey of self-discovery on the themes of addiction, loss and regrowth. Singer Alythia Scully (they/them) says as much when discussing their creative process toward writing the songs on Pluto & The Fool, “I wrote these songs to empower listeners to wake up to their potential and to their own power; all while processing grief, codependency, oppression and our society’s need to ‘keep up with the Joneses.’ Songs like Initiation speak to the self-power highlighted where lines like, ‘words of a language that doesn’t exist’ is meant to dispel the gatekeeping that one practice or doctrine is better than another. There is no ‘language of creation,’ nobody can teach you anything you won’t learn through stillness and observation.” This introspection is met with the instrumental sonic landscape crafted by other members, where influences like Catherine Wheel intersect with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Gojira. The entirety of Pluto & The Fool capitalizes on these genre and stylistic intersections to provide a finished product and stage show that lives up to the band’s mantra: We like it loud & fast.

Get ready for a relentless night of loud, fast, and unapologetic original music as Buckaroux Banshees, Unattractive Giant Monster, Atomic Lights, and BlurCurve take over the Day Block Brewing Tap Room on Thursday, July 30.
Headlining the night, Twin Cities favorites Buckaroux Banshees bring their signature brand of high-energy party punk that’s been igniting basements, bars, and venues since 2013. With riff-forward anthems and an infectious live show, they’re keeping the spirit of punk rock alive—and foaming at the mouth.
Joining the lineup is Unattractive Giant Monster, a self-described post-genre sewer punk band fueled by hot dogs and inspired by the wild sounds of Butthole Surfers, Devo, and Diarrhea Planet. Equal parts chaotic, quirky, and unforgettable, UGM is always ready to throw a party.
Atomic Lights keep the momentum rolling with their blistering three-piece attack of high-speed rock and roll. Since 2012, they’ve built a reputation for loud, fast, noise-infused performances that never let up.
Opening the evening is BlurCurve, a band that refuses to fit neatly into one genre. Blending grunge, progressive metal, shoegaze, hardcore, and alternative influences, they create a powerful sonic experience driven by themes of growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Their explosive live show combines crushing instrumentation with emotionally charged songwriting for a performance that’s both thought-provoking and intense.
Whether you’re a lifelong punk fan or just looking for an unforgettable night of original music, this stacked lineup delivers nonstop energy from the first note to the final encore. Grab a craft beer, settle into the intimate atmosphere of the Day Block Brewing Tap Room, and experience four of the Twin Cities’ most exciting original bands sharing one stage.

Fiona Hayes | Sugarcoat | Vash the Stampede
2026-07-31 18:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Fiona Hayes
Hailing from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Fiona Hayes is redefining pop-punk with a voice all her own—literally. Known for her signature layered harmonies and distinctive, emotionally-charged vocals, Fiona blends gritty vulnerability with sharp-edged power. Accompanied by Syan Blackwood on drums, Alex Radecki on lead guitar, and Zach Nelson on bass, she delivers sharp lyrics that cut straight to the core—songs about misogyny, survival, heartbreak, and reclamation. At just 15 years old, Fiona is a raw force in the modern alt-rock and pop-punk scene. Her sound channels the rebellious spirit of ’90s riot grrrl movement, drawing inspiration from iconic female-fronted bands and giving it a fresh twist that reflects today’s heavy, female-led punk resurgence. Currently working on her debut album, Fiona Hayes’ music bridges generations of women in rock while claiming her own space in the scene.
Sugarcoat
Emerging from the dive bars of Minneapolis, MN, sugarcoat feel comfortable on any size stage. Drawing from mid 00’s emo giants like Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, and Emery, they’ve carved out their own catchy sound. The quartet of John Schreier (vocals and guitar), Sean Winner (guitar), Charlie Schwandt (bass), and Tyler Smith (drums), are all seasoned musicians with unique artistic backgrounds. Their broad range of influences coalesce in a diverse sound that is constantly evolving.
Vash the Stampede
Vash the Stampede’s emo-rock EP Ephemeral was written & recorded by vocalist/ guitarist Marty Lee while living in Tempe, AZ in 2012. But desire to bring Ephemeral to life on stage only sparked after he relocated to Minneapolis in 2020.With friendship as a foundation, the lineup includes musicians already established in the local scene: Conor Lee (lead guitar), Hope Hook (violin), Jake Gau (bass) and JT Viele (drums/bgv). Pop vocals wrapped by thick crunchy guitars and melancholic lead lines define Vash’s sound: heavy yet melodic. Vash the Stampede as a band is “new” but that doesn’t limit the mark they want to make on the local music scene.

Get ready for a night of fearless, high-energy rock as three of Minnesota’s most exciting alt acts take the stage at Day Block Brewing.
Fiona Hayes—the 15-year-old pop-punk powerhouse from Saint Paul—is redefining what it means to be young and unapologetically loud. Armed with sharp lyrics and a voice that swings between raw vulnerability and electric confidence, Fiona channels the riot grrrl spirit for a new generation. Backed by Syan Blackwood (drums), Alex Radecki (lead guitar), and Zach Nelson (bass), she turns themes of misogyny, survival, and self-reclamation into blistering anthems of defiance. Currently working on her debut album, Fiona Hayes stands at the forefront of the modern, female-led punk resurgence—proof that rebellion has no age limit.
Joining the bill, Sugarcoat bring their nostalgic yet fresh mid-2000s emo sound to the stage. Emerging from Minneapolis’s dive-bar circuit, their dynamic blend of punchy guitars and melodic hooks nods to bands like Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday. Members John Schreier, Sean Winner, Charlie Schwandt, and Tyler Smith fuse their distinct artistic backgrounds into a sound that’s emotional, catchy, and ever-evolving.
Rounding out the night, Vash the Stampede infuse their emotionally charged rock with lush violin textures and thick, crunchy guitars. Born from Marty Lee’s introspective Ephemeral EP, the band now features Conor Lee, Hope Hook, Jake Gau, and JT Viele. Their music balances heaviness with melody, sorrow with hope—a perfect prelude to a night that refuses to sugarcoat anything.
Three bands. One unforgettable night. Doors open early—grab a pint, stake out your spot, and let the amplifiers speak.

2026-08-20 18:00 - 22:00 | Day Block Brewing Company, 1105 S Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55415
Second Hand Dan
Second Hand Dan is a dual-vocalist Minnesotan indie rock band consisting of Collyn Camara (lead guitar), Graden Hill (vocals/guitar), George Knier (keys), Ben Schwartz (drums), and Rachel Scott (vocals/bass). The group has been gigging regularly in the Twin Cities for well over a decade. Their evolution is captured across the 2020 LP From Nothing to Nothing, 2023’s Before We Dry Up, and the songs they’re currently debuting live. Between shows, the band is currently in the studio working on the new set of recordings.

Larrikins
“I want to get stuck in their heads”, was what Tom Blackburn (song writer/guitarist) was thinking to himself when he decided to try his hand at songwriting. Blending various pop and rock influences, with an emphasis on catchy/jangly guitars and a strong rhythm section, Larrikins aims to write songs that are as fun to listen to as they are to play. Enlisting long time friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass) and Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar) and the addition of Ryan Babiracki (drums), transformed the bedroom jingles into hard hitting pop rock bops.

Moneybones
Moneybones is a rock trio from Minneapolis. Tight and heavy, yet groovy and melodic. The rhythm section has played together since childhood and their frontman fits like he was always supposed to be there. Three years in, they sound like a band that’s been doing this much longer. Their one single “False Faces” is out now.

Join us at Day Block Brewing on Thursday, August 20, for an evening of original Twin Cities rock featuring Second Hand Dan, Larrikins, and Moneybones.
Headlining the night is Second Hand Dan, a dual-vocalist indie rock band that has been a fixture of the Minnesota music scene for well over a decade. Featuring Collyn Camara (lead guitar), Graden Hill (vocals/guitar), George Knier (keys), Ben Schwartz (drums), and Rachel Scott (vocals/bass), the group blends thoughtful songwriting, rich arrangements, and seasoned musicianship. Their musical evolution is documented across the acclaimed LPs From Nothing to Nothing (2020) and Before We Dry Up (2023), while new material currently being debuted live offers a glimpse into the band’s next chapter as they continue recording in the studio.
Rounding out the bill, Larrikins deliver infectious pop-rock driven by jangly guitars, memorable hooks, and an energetic rhythm section. Founded by songwriter and guitarist Tom Blackburn with the goal of crafting songs that linger long after the music stops, the band features longtime friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass), Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar), and Ryan Babiracki (drums). Their high-energy performances transform catchy bedroom demos into hard-hitting rock anthems built for live audiences.
Opening the night, is Minneapolis rock trio Moneybones. Combining heavy riffs, tight grooves, and melodic songwriting, the band has quickly earned a reputation for sounding far beyond their years. Anchored by a rhythm section that has played together since childhood and fronted by a vocalist who feels like the missing piece they always needed, Moneybones bring a powerful and dynamic presence to the stage. Their debut single, “False Faces,” is available now.
