GASTRO NON GRATA : TURF CLUB TARNATION
1601 University Ave W, St Paul MN
Sunday, Sept 14 Doors at 6, Show at 7

Hey everybody, are you as excited to see the new and improved Turf Club as we are? I sure hope so because this one is going to be a doozie. Since the newly remodeled Turf has a working kitchen again we’re going to be featuring the food of the in house chef Karl Lichtfuss.

We needed a good St Paul brew to pair with Karl’s food so we went out and got Summit Brewing Co. The powerhouse of St Paul brewing. They’ll be unchaining some samples for you to keep your whistles wet.

On the music end we’re more than pleased to announce Sherwin Linton, the man who’s been elected to 11 different states Country Music Hall of Fames on top of being one of the hardest working Midwestern country artists out there. From 1956 to Today, Sherwin is still singing the songs of Elvis, Marty Robbins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash. He also performs his own hits and originals plus the classic country, Folk and Cowboys standards we all know and love.

Local Country & Western revivalists, Whiskey Jeff & the Beer Back Band are back to regale you with songs of whiskey, heartbreak and hangovers. Nathan Miller will start the night off with some rootsy deep blues.

As always the Dead Meat Door Prize is brought to you by Clancey’s Meat & Fish

Tickets Available at all First Avenue outlets and online thru first-ave.com

DOORS AT 6, SHOW AT 7 $12 ADV/$15 DOOR





Before you get ready for the belly strain of the Turkey Massacree, come on down to the Triple Rock to stretch your mental and sensory faculties. Surly Brewing Company will be on hand with mind bending brews and Burch Steak House and Pizza Bar will be on hand presenting morsels of animal tissue wrought from the recesses of unsuspecting cattle.

Music disclaimer: This show is going to start out fast and proceed to get heavier. There will be no chance to lift a pinky or think about tender feelings. It’s going to be cacophonous and we’re gonna hit the ground running with the pulsating garage psyche sounds of Narco States.  Followed by the ever bouncing, energetic exhibitions of Green Bay punk stalwarts Rev Norb and the Onions. To end the night we bring you in various state of disrobe, the MPLS Motorhead, Dumpster Juice.

DJ Shannon Blowtorch will be administering a steady diet of head bobbing and hip movement from the 1s and 2s in the back of the house between sets.

As always we’d like to thank our sponsor, Clancey’s Meat & Fish who provide for you frozen animal parts available to you within our Dead Meat Door Prize.
