They look so much alike. I wonder if their sister looks like them? ;)

He has a really good band...or at least he did last year. I kept meaning to send for their cd, never did do it.

Paul is Dave's brother. Not too shocking, there, as Paul bears a striking resemblance to Dave. His band, Mosquito Ranch, opened for Soul Asylum at the Glukes show. I enjoyed their set.

Oops, I got distracted before hitting "submit" on my post, So other peeps beat me with the info.

I got my tickets to the Glukes show by emailing Paul and making arrangements with him for their purchase. Their sister Lucy had my tickets for me at the door when I arrived. Lucy is also blonde, and does have that destictive Pirner look. If I remember correctly, I think they all resemble their mother. Sadly, the computer with my Pics from the Glukes show wont boot up so I can't check my pic of Mr & Mrs. Pirner to confirm which parent stamped their children with their distinctive looks.

"Mosquito Ranch" opened for that Glueks show Dells? Hmmm, guess I didn't get there early enough for that (as I certainly do not remember them playing that night)!

The opening act I do remember seeing that night was Kraig Johnson and the Program, and one of the few KJJP shows that featured none other than Gary Louris as a band member for almost their entire set! I remember it was a 4 piece band that night for "The Program" - KJ, GL, Pete Anderson on drums then either Perlmam or Boquist playing bass.

Oh, Paul's current band is the 757's

Yes, Todd, they did play. If you missed Paul's band, then you also missed a cool 1-man purcussion act (I think he called himself Dash) Very interesting performance. The phrase "You snooze, you lose" comes to mind ;)

It's Big White House. You can find them on myspace.

I saw the 757s play last year at the Fineline. They were actually giving away copies of their cd for free at the show. Go figure. Anyway, really good band. Paul has a lot of the same mannerisms of Dave when he plays.
