Don’t let Saturday, July 17th be another Saturday spent on the couch in front of the TV. Get over to The Turf Club and dance away the night with Tina and The B-Sides!
Tina and the B-Sides was formed out of the edgy new wave rock scene that was Minneapolis in the late ’80’s. Schlieske had caught the bug early and had been working the bar scene for several years before she was even legal by sneaking into clubs to perform as early as 1984. Gradually she assembled a band playing a tight fusion of bluesy rock folk-inspired and roughly hewn Americana. They played every club that would have them and by 1989 recorded their debut album, Tina and the B-Side Movement. It was released on her own Movement Records, which also became home to 1992’s Young Americans and 1994’s Monster.
Pursuing a more rootsy vision of American rock & roll, Tina and the B-Sides (or sometimes B-Side Movement) went on to become one of the most popular bar bands in the Mid West during the 1990s developing a cult following that endures to this day. The line-up consisted of Pete Young and Patrik Tanner on guitar (later Troy Norton), bassist Jeremy Plumb, drummers Joel Richmond and Bill Oehrlein (later Ron Caron), and her sister Laura Schlieske on vocals.
Opening up the show is a local favorite- The Immaculate Beings. Coming together from all across the midwest, The Immaculate Beings is a family of queer eclectic human beings who promote the importance of self-love, self-care, and self-validation through their music and performance. Combining sounds of Indie Rock, Folk, Jazz, and Psychedelic Ambience, Trevor, Griffin, Joe, Christian, Casey, Staurie, and Michael are here to create a safe space that reminds you how much you matter in this world. You are so loved.
Tickets for this show are still available HERE!
