This week on The Local Show, David Campbell chats with Local Current blog curator Andrea Swensson about new stories including a new Guitar Hero-esque video game featuring local musicians, the Soundset line-up announcement and the recent Howler controversy.


We'll also be playing songs from our latest session with Food Pyramid, both tracks of which are unreleased. Their new album Mango Sunrise is out now on Moon Glyph.


City Pages' new music editor Reed Fischer will also stop by to talk about some of his favorites in the scene right now and connect his experiences between local music communities in Minnesota and Florida where he previously worked.


There's also new music in the mix from Van Stee, Carroll, Dial-Up, The Sevateem and more.
