Yeah, I’m a fan. Glad you caught that, I was talking to talking to a Minnesotan just yesterday, who hadn’t heard of them. She was older and stuck on Hüsker Dü and Seven Seconds though, so it was cool.
Surprised they are known in Norway. I think the band moved to New York some years ago, so Minnesota doesn't pop up as frequently in their lyrics as they once did. We're lucky to have a pretty great musical tradition here. I used to live 3 blocks from where Husker Du started doing gigs.
