'Burbs rock !! They helped me make it thru college - couldn't quit cause the 'Burbs were coming to town. RIP Bruce and I hope to c the rest of the guys perform again.
Me too! I was at the U of M then, and spent weekends at all the local bars checking out the terrific bands like the 'burbs and more! What a walk down memory lane. Thank you for posting this!
Classic Minneapolis band. The music is a little dated but man did I love it back then. Someone mentioned Duffy's Saw Iggy Pop there and when I wanted heavy medal went to Mr Nibs.
This band is sick live. I got kicked out of a bar in Sioux Falls SD slam dancing to them 25 years ago. There music is still relevent today. More Punk than New Wave. This band is HARD.
My daughter is 11 as well and like you loves this band! As does my 7 year old, but then again I take away their IPODS and make them listen to them and the Replacements and Ramones, Glad you as well like it. Where did you learn of this great band, I am old enough to admit I seen them live about 10 or so times. Glad you have the chance to enjoy them as I did in my youth.
the 'Burbs played the famous Longhorn bar in Minneapolis in the latter '70's, and rocked like you would not believe... it was near riotous when Beej climbed up the rafters or whatever he could find.
Lame, I could do this but better in an hour they suck
