Deathsquads vs. Nur-D, etc.: Our critic's top Art-A-Whirl 2024 live music picks, hour by hour
Art-A-Whirl’s performance schedule is the kind of thing that keeps die-hard music lovers up at night:
“If I go see Creeping Charlie at Elias Metal Studio, will I still have time to catch Gully Boys at Indeed Brewing?”
“How far is Sociable from Bauhaus if I want to see both the Zoo Animal reunion and Mark Mallman?”
“Who are these sadistic people who booked Scrunchies at the exact same time as the Cactus Blossoms AND Curtiss A?”
Those questions all pertain to this weekend’s Art-A-Whirl music lineup, which is slightly scaled back from the past couple years but remains as exciting and daunting as ever.
This year’s three-day walking party around northeast Minneapolis doesn’t feature any national touring acts, offered in recent years by Pryes Brewing Co. (which is sticking to an arts and crafts showcase this year), Grumpy’s Bar (sticking to bar business) and the 331 Club (sticking to a scaled-back party with MCN6 TV’s “Bands on Vans” mobile stage).
With just all-local talent lineups, though — and really, that’s all it should be — many of the mainstays of Art-A-Whirl will still have music lovers scrambling, including both Bauhaus and Indeed breweries, Sociable Cider Werks, Twin Ignition Startup Garage (host venue for the music nonprofit DEMO) and Elias Metal Studio.
“The music is now such a vital component to Art-A-Whirl,” said Lisa Elias, the metal sculptor who was among the first to showcase live music at her studio space more than two decades ago, and for the obvious reason: “I needed a crowd,” she recalled.
Nowadays, Elias said, “[AAW] has exploded in popularity, especially with all the music that is showcased by the breweries. For better or worse, it has made a huge shift in attendance.”
Save time for the art as you plan ahead for the music. Here’s one local music lover’s cheat sheet with hour-by-hour personal picks, a tactic I’ve been employing for many years to avoid losing sleep. More info on the venues is below.

2024 FUTURES CHAMPIONSHIPS- MINNEAPOLIS
Davide Harabagiu highlighted night 3 of competition in Minneapolis swimming to a 52.95 in the 100 butterfly. That was just off his personal best of a 52.75 from Settecolli in Rome last month. Harabagiu swims collegiately for Minnesota but originally hails from Italy.
Also highlighting the night was Annike Parkhe who swam to a 58.85 in the 100 fly, the only swimming under the 1:00 mark. Parkhe has a best time of a 58.58 that she swam for 13th during prelims of US Olympic Trials last month. She finished 16th in semifinals in a 59.02.
Finishing behind Parkhe in the 100 fly was Grace Rabb who swam a 1:00.28. Later in the session, Rabb earned a win touching in a 2:32.69 in the 200 breast. Rabb, a Florida commit, swam a best time in the 100 fly as her previous best was a 1:01.36. Her 200 breast best time stands at a 2:32.39 from May.
The final winner on the women’s side was Katie McCarthy who won the 400 free in a 4:15.81. McCarthy was 34th in the event at US Trials in a 4:14.90 and has a best time of a 4:14.89.
The men’s 400 free was a battle as Jiarui Xue earned the win in a 3:59.16 touching just ahead of Chase Maier who swam a 3:59.24. Xue has a best time of a 3:59.00 and is committed to Princeton while Maier dropped a huge best time as his previous best was a 4:05.01.
Sirui Wang won the 200 breast in a 2:17.24, almost a five second drop from his previous best of a 2:22.05 from May. He was a 2:22.65 in the event at the last summer.

Minneapolis City Council introduces new safety plan with alternatives to police response
![Minneapolis City Council introduces new safety plan with alternatives to police response Minneapolis City Council introduces new safety plan with alternatives to police response](https://images.foxtv.com/static.fox9.com/www.fox9.com/content/uploads/2023/08/1280/720/minneapolis-city-hall.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)
Minneapolis leaders lay out new safety plan
The new plan folds in efforts already underway like the behavioral response team which is sent on some crisis calls where police are not necessary, or a new traffic control unit that is staffed by people who are not sworn officers. But the real purpose of the Safe and Thriving Communities plan is to offer a sort of road map to public safety.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minneapolis City Council members are asking the public for feedback on a new public safety model that they hope will restore trust in public safety services.
Officials say the Public Safety Beyond Policing Action Plan is based on an outline of a community safety system that will include “preventative, restorative and response services beyond policing.”
What we know
City leaders say they are moving to codify the Public Safety Beyond Policing Action Plan after the Minneapolis Safe and Thriving Communities Blueprint that was announced last year.

The first draft of the Public Safety Beyond Policing Action Plan was presented earlier this week. City officials say public comment and feedback on the 10-year plan will be taken for 45 days.
An overview and briefing detailing the progress of the Safe and Thriving Communities Report was presented during Wednesday’s Public Health and Safety Committee (PHS).
Public engagement and comment sessions will also be held in front of the PHS committee before the final adoption of the plan, which is expected to happen in the fall of 2024.
What they’re saying
Minneapolis officials say “there has been little or unclear movement on implementation by the administration” since the last city-wide community safety plan last year.
A news release announcing the latest policing plan said there are concerns over a “lack of seriousness” about the city implementing a new comprehensive safety system.
Vice Chair of the Public Health and Safety Committee and City Council Member Robin Wonsley said the following in the same news release: “Council is serious about realizing the comprehensive public safety system that our residents have asked for since May 2020. We can have a city where there are a multitude of preventive, responsive, and restorative services to meet our public safety needs efficiently and equitably. The Safe and Thriving Communities Report and the Public Safety Beyond Policing Action Plan includes a clear ten-year guide to make this vision a reality.”
Public Health and Safety Chair and City Council Member Chavez said “Ward 9 is home to one of the most diverse communities in the whole state and residents are deeply engaged in leading on public safety work. Residents are tired of empty promises and slow progress when it comes to their safety needs. The time to act is now and the Council is ready to continue to lead on keeping all of us safe.”
Minneapolis City Council President Elliot Paynes released a statement saying “This is the City Council flexing our oversight responsibility. The administration put forward a plan with the Safe and Thriving Communities report and we are making sure the promise of this plan is fulfilled with transparency and with the input of our community at the center of it.”
Background
This is the latest development after the Safe and Thriving Communities plan was announced last year. Advocates say it took a “holistic approach” to public safety.
That plan came after the development of a plan was requested by Mayor Jacob Frey in 2021.
City officials say they are currently in phase one of implementing the Safe and Thriving Communities plan.
The Minneapolis City Council also approved a new police contract earlier this month that includes a nearly 22% pay raise for officers over the next three years.
