Maybe you're trying to find a way to get into more of Minneapolis and St. Paul's great local music scene. Or maybe you want to go to a concert, but don't want to spend money on crazy expensive tickets. Or maybe you're even trying to find how to get where your friend's roommate's girlfriend's band is playing.

We've got you covered. Every week Metromix round-ups the best shows on the small stages around the Twin Cities—places like the Hexagon, 400 Bar, Turf Club and more—and lists the best options for seeing incredible and intimate shows. Take a look at all the bands who've passed through the Twin Towns and find a show to suit your tastes with our weekly Twin Cities Roll Call.
