Back to Back Shows

Originally published on June 15, 2007 in The Pulse, by Dwight Hobbes.




Mercurial Rage hasn’t been at it together all that long-–about a year. Nonetheless, they know what they are doing. They are at their best on a cut like “Simon,” combining smart-ass attitude with a hip-slung groove that dares you not to dance. These boys have an EP, The Funeral Sessions--cleanly produced, alive with energy-–that should generate a following. Especially considering after Mercurial Rage are done playing this weekend. Today (June 15) they’re at The Hexagon Bar, 2600 27th Ave. S., Mpls., at 9 p.m. On Saturday, June 16, they’re at The Triple Rock Social Club on Minneapolis’ West Bank, at 8 p.m.

Added to which, come June 30, The Funeral Sessions gets its release event at the Uptown Bar, 3018 Hennepin Ave., Mpls., at 9 p.m.
