August Music and Movies lineup at Lake Harriet Bandshell announced

by Andrea Swensson

May 31, 2012

Vita.mn is once again taking over the Lake Harriet Bandshell in South Minneapolis for the month of August to present a series of live performances and film screenings. The concept is similar to the Walker's longstanding Music & Movies event, but with a populist twist; this year, for example, two of the four films star comedian Mike Myers (Wayne's World and So I Married an Axe Murderer).

Also of note is the fact that this will be S. Carey's first appearance in town since the release of Auto-Tune heavy, adventurous new EP, Hoyas. For those unfamiliar, S. Carey is perhaps best known as the drummer for Bon Iver, and established himself as a skilled songwriter on his 2010 breakout All We Grow.

Here's the full lineup:

Friday, August 3
Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps + So I Married an Axe Murderer

Friday, August 10
Bloodnstuff and Is/Is + Army of Darkness

Friday, August 17
Heiruspecs + Wayne's World

Friday, August 24
S. Carey + O Brother, Where Art Thou?
