Rogue Wave- |
| Description: |
$7 students, $9 public
Rogue Wave's Out of the Shadow was one of the best albums that slipped under people's radar in 2003. Now becoming an indie pop sensation akin to The Pixies and Guided By Voices, they are taking their dynamic presence to the stage. Blending wistful vocals over and under blankets of sonic textures, Rogue Wave never play the same way twice, switching tones up with a musical chairs game of instrumentation. Come see them make their Maintenance Shop debut.

Joe Price |
| Description: |
$6 students, $8 public
Joe has been playing the blues for Iowans for many years. He is now being discovered by people all over the United States. His foot-stompin', slide guitar, smokey voiced blues is the stuff people travel to the bayous of Louisiana to hear. We just travel to Lansing Iowa to find him. Now comes his new gem, Lookin' For Love, with his wife Vicki joining him on vocals. The new disc is a treat, as only Joe could produce. So grab the friends, come and enjoy the show, and get a copy of the new disc!

OK Go |
| Description: |
$10 students, $12 public
Come see OK Go, Chicago's power-pop kings, as they will make their M-Shop debut. Their songs are cleverly put together -- part indie rock, part stadium rock, part straight up pop with the occasional whiff of the Pixies or The Cars or Elliott Smith. They're like a boy band that got seduced by Queen and wound up in college instead of Orlando. Known for their phenominal live performances, OK Go will blow you away.

Split Lip Rayfield |
| Description: |
$7 students, $9 public
You should have seen this one coming. Split Lip Rayfield played the Shop a few years back. We have not stopped talking about them since. The quartet from Wichita is back with their new release, Should Have Seen It Coming. Equal parts bluesgrass, western, honky-tonk, and garage rock, these guys make a show a blast. Mix the guitar, banjo, and the one-string gas tank bass (yes, you read that correctly) and you have a show that needs to be experienced. Trust us. It is an experience
