LineUp

The Minus 5

13 concerts

The Minus 5, led by Scott McCaughey, blends witty indie pop with influences from glam to new wave. Known for fluid lineups, frequent collaborator Peter Buck, and albums like Down with Wilco, they're celebrated for McCaughey's sharp lyrics. Key releases include Killingsworth (2009) and The Minus 5 (aka "The Gun Album"). Collaborations with Jeff Tweedy and R.E.M. showcase their creative range. The 2019 album Stroke Manor emerged after McCaughey's stroke, featuring artists like Buck and Tweedy.

The Rubinoos

1 concert

The Rubinoos, an American power pop band from Berkeley, California, formed by Tommy Dunbar and Jon Rubin, gained fame in the 1970s for their catchy melodies and witty lyrics. Influenced by the Beatles and bubblegum pop, their hits include "I Think We're Alone Now" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." They toured with Elvis Costello and worked with Todd Rundgren. After a hiatus, they returned with albums like *Paleophonic* and *From Home*, maintaining their signature style. They've also collaborated with artists like Jonathan Richman and received notable media attention for a legal dispute with Avril Lavigne.

What is The Minus 5 in Year 2025?

You might well ask! What started off in 1993 as a studio side project (as the Young Fresh Fellows were easing up on their typically frenetic activities), it was originally meant to explore the folkier, more dismal side of rock's palate. Now thirty years on, it seems to be just another rock band—a band with a rather extensive discography, belying its part-time status. Which is pretty awesome anyway.
