Description

Your long wait is over! It's the Return of Local Legends The Mighty Mofos featuring The Silverteens and The Heavy Sixers! When the Punk rock scene was in full force in Minneapolis, The Mofos came along & kicked in the door. Hard rocking and satisfying, as all players are excellent musicians, and stars in their own right. Legendary on the Twin Cities music scene since 1984. For the last 10 years, the Silverteens have thrived by combining ’60s-influenced Garage Rock with their own hard-charging brand of Punk/Power Pop. The band members — mainstays on the local scene since the 1980s — include Eric Pierson (Motorhome), Steve Olson (Laughing Stock), Jerry Johnson (MezzoFist), and Mark Engebretson (The Whole Lotta Loves) The Heavy Sixers are a Minneapolis band fronted by Steve Dupuis. Inspired by Alt rock of the 80s and 90s. In 2016, Steve Dupuis (guitar in The Rakes, The Blue Mollies, Trompe Le Monde, etc...) found himself writing a bunch of songs inspired in equal parts by the insane political environment, personal stories and just plain rock & roll, Steve was left with a whole lotta demos and in need of a band. Steve approached Mark Devaraj (High On Stress, The Red Flags, WRRC Mpls, etc...) to play drums, Emily Dupuis (The Blue Mollies, The Bottlehouse) to play keys and sing back up, Jon Sawyer (The Rakes, Rob Stealcheat, etc...) for bass and Grant Eull (Detroit, Manplanet, Frizzle Fry, etc...) to round up the lineup on guitar. After finding nobody who would be willing to sing, Dupuis decided reluctantly to just do it himself. Now, with a few months of practice and a few songs recorded as a band, The Heavy Sixers are ready to bring these songs to the people. Influences can be heard in varying degrees from some classic rock & roll sounds of the 60s and 70s to the college rock of the 80s and 90s.
