Reclaiming Sexist Songs at the Parkway. Plus, Hear Our Version of Tiny Desk
DoRe #MeToo started six years ago, featuring femme performers reclaiming sexist rock songs to fundraise for abortion access. The show returns at the Parkway Theater on Sept. 12. DJ Tricky Miki tells us there’s no shortage of Rolling Stones songs that fit the bill. Producer Adam Sage is bringing our version of Tiny Desk to the Twin Cities. Our first Neighborhood Sessions featured local rapper GR3G and his band at Recovery Bike Shop. Plus, your State Fair takes and a plea to buy the CC Club.
