Space Camp

Space camp is a rowdy band that isn’t afraid to pound back a few brews with fans and friends, both before and after a show. Last night at the Uptown Bar in Minneapolis, they practiced their craft with a pointedly reckless abandon, to the delight of the 30 or so surly music fans in attendance. The show raged on until 2 a.m. or so, at which point it became clear that the band would either need to hit the showers or risk becoming sober enough to drive home safely.

Without a set list in hand, the band took suggestions from yelling fans, the bass player, bartender, and probably the sound man as well. And they did it in a refreshing way that seemed to say, “We’ll play whatever the heck you want us to play!! *crowd cheers* Now, where’s the beer?”
