Annie and the Bang Bang are a Minneapolis band that has many moods, mostly of the rock variety. They genre hop from dreamy folk-pop to swampy psychedelic grooves to a grunge-meets-late-sixties vibe, crafting musical gems that value energy, animal intelligence, poetry, and mischief.

Porcupine was born in 2006 in La Crosse, Wis., where singer / guitarist Casey Virock had previously launched another indie rock trio, Space Bike. Now based in Minneapolis, the band has evolved to full maturity, a potent force propelled by drummer Keith Larson and the most recent additions to the band, guitarist / vocalist Nick Roesler and bassist Chad Haugejorden.
