The Blind Shake, The Dynamiters, and Loose Limbs at Turf Club
Minneapolis’ The Blind Shake first discovered its compact, nasty power as a noisy post-punk band, but got pulled in another direction when it began collaborating with obscure psychedelic-rock experimenter Michael Yonkers. The trio made one album as Yonkers’ backing band (Carbohydrates Hydrocarbons), then went on to record the second proper Blind Shake record, 2007’s Carmel. Noise-rock and trippy garage-blues find a lot of common ground in the band’s squealing, droning cheap guitars and viciously good live sets. Yonkers reteamed with the band on 2009's Cold Town, Soft Zodiac, on which their creative affinity blazes undimmed.
