Minneapolis music venue First Avenue brought back the Rock Lottery for the second straight year. Last week, 25 local musicians were drafted into five new bands, and then had 48 hours to create original music to perform on the mainroom stage on Friday, July 26. The results made for a night of new songs, new sounds, and new creative partnerships.
