The Soviettes announce reunion show, compilation of B-sides and rarities
Dearly missed Minneapolis pop-punk band The Soviettes are gearing up for their first show since breaking up in 2006. According to PunkNews.org, the band will play a special set at the Turf Club on March 19 to celebrate the release of LP IV, a collection of B-sides and rarities that's being put out by Red Sound Records. But the evening will be as much about the present as it is the past: Also on the lineup are the bandmates' post-split projects The Gateway District (featuring guitarist Maren "Sturgeon" Macosko), That's Incredible (bassist Susy Sharp), and Awesome Snakes (guitarist Annie Holoien and drummer Danny Henry). For more on why this news is hugely exciting, check out The Soviettes' entry in the 2003 installment of The A.V. Club's Decade In Local Music series.
