We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

Concert Review

November 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Kortnie Hansen This summer my cousin’s boyfriend and I went to the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert at the Minnesota state fair. We sat in the third row back in center stage. The lights were great. They had a huge disco ball that shined over the crowd. The music, even though it was loud, was very … [Read more…]

The Mr. T Experience: A Concert Review

June 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Aaron Sapp On April 24th, a few friends and I went to the Whole to see The Mr. T Experience. The show started at 7:30, and I didn’t get off work until 7:00. None the less we made it in time to see the opening band… “The Misfires.” What a pitiful group they were! … [Read more…]

Album Review: Scott Weiland

June 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Audrey Lopez “12 Bar Blues”Scott Weiland (Stone Tempie Pilots former vocalist) has released an album entitled “12 Bar Blues.” It’s a wonderful collection of tunes, some of which he wrote in rehab. These songs are a much different style than you might be used to hearing from Weiland. You might have heard the second … [Read more…]

Album Review: Dave Matthews Band

June 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Audrey Lopez “Before these Crowded Streets”The new album by Dave Mathews Band is another brilliant piece from them. Alanis Morissette helps out this time. Her voice is a wonderful addition to: “Spoon,” and “Don’t Drink the Water.” This album sounds a lot different from the last. Dave’s voice seems to have a broader range. … [Read more…]

Titanic

March 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Carrie Tiggas I was told not to do this movie review because the movie Titanic is way too over rated. Well, tough! The first time I saw Titanic is when it first came out. It was wonderful. It didn’t seem like it was really over three hours long. I loved how a woman was … [Read more…]

By Hilary Carignan (Zone 105’s Promotion Intern) Wednesday February the 18th at First Avenue in concert was Save Ferris, Goldfinger and Sugar Ray. Save Ferris was the opening band.

Book Review: The Thief of Always

March 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Leah Shoberg Like all horror stories, this one takes place in a sleepy, no-name town. Unlike other horror stories, this one has a moral. If you liked anything about the movie “Candyman” you’ll like something about “The Thief of Always” because they were both written by Clive Barker. The story has to do with … [Read more…]

S.C.O.T.S.

November 1, 1997 by Mini Archives

By Aaron Sapp On October 8th, I went to First Avenue to see Southern Culture On the Skids. I had heard them on Jay Leno one summer night, and bought their album. They play hillbilly alternative (stuff about fried chicken and flies). The opening band was the Magnatones. They played alternative music, and were pretty … [Read more…]
