Another huge surprise was hearing the band talk about how two of the three members are from Minneapolis. Honestly, seeing Marcy Playground’s sound on a line-up was a huge surprise just because they are one of those one-hit wonder bands in my mind and I feel like they just haven’t done much as of late. Not only did we give ourselves some extra time to lose some money that, in actuality, we shouldn’t have spent, we were about to see some of my favorite bands from my childhood.īecause I know my parents read this review, I won’t get into the gambling side of my night so let’s just start with the show which kicked off with Marcy Playground. So yes, I was excited as my friend and I made the hour drive up to Hinckley, Minnesota for the show on Friday night. There’s something about a casino atmosphere that I just love from the people watching to the excitement of the flashing lights and loud sounds.

Something about playing the casino circuit just screamed has-beens to me but, in recent years, more and more bands that I legit what to see perform have been playing them and I have found a love for these shows. I used to judge bands that would play casinos.
