The Long Honeymoon
Minneapolis-based indie rock band The Long Honeymoon has been filling venues and exciting fans for nearly 3 years with their high-energy shows, featuring original songs with their signature multi-part harmonies, deft arrangements and tight grooves. Its members, veterans of a variety of beloved Twin Cities' bands (The Humbugs, Lee Rude, Atomic Flea, The Bazillions, Charlie Bucket, and The Radio Spares), combine a deep love of classic pop-rock with a modern sound and joyous spirit.
"The World is Waiting," the band's debut album, contains 11 original songs that have been road-tested over the past several years at bars, outdoor venues, and breweries. The album was produced by the band with help from local legends Jacques Wait (Rank Strangers, The Twilight Hours) and David J. Russ (ELnO, Something Fierce, Holiday Ranch, Dan Israel). And there's lots more where those came from - a 4 song EP is already finished and will be released this spring!
"The World is Waiting" will be released digitally on October 10, 2025, with a limited-edition vinyl pressing available online (here!), at shows, and at local record stores shortly after that. The Long Honeymoon will be performing this fall in support of the album.

For 20 years Famous Volcanoes has been spewing musical lava of full on rock, rootsy Americana, multi-layered pure pop and traditional bluegrass. The Volcanoes proudly wear their influences on their ragged shirtsleeves putting a Midwestern spin on a Crazy Horse meets quirk pop sound. With three full length recordings (and another on the way) this five piece Minneapolis band have performed on stages from regional dive bars to Hollywood hotspots to back yard BBQ’s.

Barking at Ghosts is a Minneapolis-based power-pop trio specializing in tightly crafted original songs, hooky riffs and melodic vocal harmonies. Their music reflects a shared passion for classic rock and pop, psychedelia, post punk and rockabilly. Debut LP Hearing Horns arrived in April 2025 and features ten original songs that range from punky power-pop to folky jangle and achingly pretty melancholy.
Guitarist Johnny Wilson (Go Buttons, Evil Sulu) is a native North Carolinian and has fronted bands in NC, St. Louis and Minneapolis. Drummer Chris Hansen (Pioneer Son, Clockwork) is a native Minnesotan and gigged for years around the state before forming the band Hearing Horns in 2013 with Johnny and bassist John Hile. In late 2023, Montana transplant and veteran bassist Rob McClain (Tim Montana & the Shrednecks, Jeremy Scared), met Chris by happenstance at Chris’ optical shop. Barking at Ghosts was born.
All three members share a background in the fine and applied arts. Johnny works by day as a freelance graphic designer after a long career designing for Best Buy Corporate. After a career in graphic design, Chris now runs Owl Optical in Minneapolis with his wife Julie. Rob is currently working towards his BFA degree at the University of Minnesota. Before that he worked in film and theater and owned his own company for over twenty years.
