A few of these are just online resources, but a few are tied to local music businesses and publications. It's nice to know that Minnesota has a fine community of online resources for local music.

www.citypages.com
The City Pages Web site is a great resource for finding out about shows, clubs and other events. Peter Scholtes, Dylan Hicks and Lindsay Thomas have a great blog about the local music scene.

www.dunation.com
This local hip-hop site includes articles, links and other features. Lars and company keep the site very up to date and consistently add new content.

www.first-avenue.com
First Avenue's Web site has an updated calendar of all of the upcoming Mainroom and 7th Street Entry shows, not to mention an incredible section on the club’s history.

www.howwastheshow.com
David DeYoung and his love for live shows are highlighted in this locally based site with reviews of local shows.

www.misplacedmusic.org
Jared Lukes and Sam Keenan put their blood and sweat into this local Web radio station. They play all local music all day long.

www.modern-radio.com
This is Modern Radio Records’ Web site. It includes updates on their releases, etc., but I think the real draw is the very active message board.

www.mpr.org
The gateway into The Current’s Web site. It lists shows and what’s playing on the station. You can also listen to previous radio shows, which is great when you miss Chris Robert's local show on Sundays.

www.musicscene.org
Infamous in local music circles, a non-forgiving message board which sometimes will knock you for unmusical reasons, but is entertaining to read. The site has a musician directory and lists some local shows, as well.

www.pulsetc.com
Pulse magazine’s Web site. It includes all the articles found in the printed issue–and it contains all the MP3s from bands they’ve written articles about.

www.radiok.com
Radio K’s Web site is a portal to listen to the radio station, plus has a concert calendar, playlists and more.

www.tcmusic.net
With more information then you can shake a stick at, this site as always amazed me, with the sheer number of listings for bands, clubs, music resources and show listings.

www.tcshowslist.com
Scott’s been listing local shows for as long as I can remember. A great resource if you are looking of an all-age show or to check out any local band.
