Each Saturday morning, Jim McGuinn takes listeners on a trip into our collective retro past - from 1970s punk to '90s grunge, and everything that happened in between.

He's with us today on our last day of the member drive, and we wanted to take a spin on his weekly "Teenage Kicks" theme and add an additional parameter - Teenage Kicks bands that are headed to the Twin Cities to perform in the next few months.

Let us know which bands and songs you'd like to hear for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.
