Soul Asylum was Alt-Rock before there was Alt-Rock. This Saturday, they bring their groundbreaking sound to the Piazza in Aurora for one night only.
Soul Asylum initially formed in the early ’80s under the name Loud Fast Rules when vocalist/guitarist Dave Pirner was still in high school with friends Dan Murphy and Karl Mueller, and became part of the celebrated Minneapolis local music scene alongside fellow indie bands the Replacements and Hüsker Dü.
This success led to the band entering the major-label mainstream with 1988’s Hang Time and its 1990 follow-up, And the Horse They Rode In On, before achieving a commercial breakthrough with 1992’s triple platinum Grave Dancers Union.
Soul Asylum will be performing with Local H, an alt-rock band originally from Zion, Illinois.
Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased here. The show starts at 6:30. This will be an outdoor event.
The Piazza is located at 85 Executive Drive in Aurora.
