Muun Bato | Manias | Christian Erickson @ Day Block Brewing

This show brings together three distinct corners of Minneapolis’s restless rock psyche: Muun Bato’s shimmering pop-psych swirl of guitars and electronics, Manias’ fuzzed-out collision of garage rock, shoegaze, and power-pop punch led by veteran Jay Hurley, and Christian Erickson’s sharp-tongued, self-aware songs shaped by two decades of beautifully imperfect musical misadventures. Expect melodic hooks buried in haze, propulsive rhythms, and a night that leans into personality as much as sound—equal parts psychedelic glow, distorted charm, and hard-earned honesty.
