As the leaves fall and the tempurature drops, what better way to spend a Friday night than wrapped up in front of a roaring fire with a mug of hot chocolate. Come to think of it, that's a really lame way to spend a Friday night on Halloween weekend. Instead, might I suggest heading down to The Turf Club and seeing three bands that all have ties to 2024 Records? Just call us the Twin Cities version of Kevin Bacon.

First, there is Duplomacy. They are directly tied to 2024 as a band on the label. The music blog, Music (For Robots) just wrote up their recently released "All These Long Drives" calling it "a hell of a record." We tend to agree. Also on the bill is none other than Kid Dakota (the other band that our very own Darren Jackson fronts). Of course, Darren is also in 2024 band, The Hopefuls. Darren has been working on a new Kid Dakota record and will probably play some new tunes for you. Finally... the reason for the night... The Winter Blanket! (Which features two former 2024 employees (Mr. Dave Campbell and Mr. Todd Hansen). The blanket are releasing an EP called "Golden Sun" and this is their release party for the record.

So there you have it. Three bands. Three reasons to make your presence known at The Turf Club this Friday night!
