Various Artists - The $4.99 Show (2xCD)

If you don’t know, now you know: The $4.99 show is a semi-quarterly comic and rock-n-roll, liquor, and shenanigans festival put on by Stand Up! Records. For one low, low price, the crowd packs on in to a local Minneapolis venue to chug and chortle, giggle and wiggle. And now you can play the home game! Our latest release is a two-disc extravaganza – worth the cost for 43 porn remake titles alone – featuring an epic 2010 session of The $4.99 Show recorded live at the Triple Rock Social Club (home to free bacon night, veiled Blues Brothers references, and more punk rock street cred than you can shake a 7” at). The show stars Cy Amundson and Bill Young with emcee Gus Lynch, Madoo and the $4.99 crew (our house band), and a full disc of the legendary, soul-shaking, booty quaking sounds of Minneapolis’ own Chooglin’. Just in time for Christmas, behold! The perfect gift for your friends and loved ones and probably anyone with a beard, “The $4.99 Show,” packed up all purdy in a limited edition, double-disc tip-on gatefold. As the great Dan Schlissel puts it, “It’s an exorbitant expense for a niche show, but that’s how we roll.” Amen, brother.
