Minneapolis’ West Bank neighborhood was once an epicenter of the Minnesota music world, and a new documentary from Twin Cities PBS is bringing it back to life. The Wild West Bank Sound traces the neighborhood’s musical history all the way back to the early 1960s.

The documentary will premiere on TPT on Tuesday at 8 p.m. (and you’ll also be able to watch it on pbs.org and the PBS App), but before you watch it, let’s reminisce about some of your favorite Minnesota bands.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from classic Minnesota bands would you like to hear?
