The Plastic Constellations aren't the only band to come out of Hopkins High School, and Hopkins is hardly the only school in town with an impressive lineage of musicians.

Hopkins: Plastic Constellations; P.O.S. and Doomtree+; Melodious Owl.

St. Paul Central: Mint Condition; Heiruspecs; Billy Holloman; Martin Devaney and band; some of Oddjobs.

Minneapolis Washburn: Slug of Atmosphere; R.L. of Next; Jimmy Jam.

Minneapolis North: Terry Lewis, Morris Day and other Time/Flyte Tyme cohorts.

Minneapolis Central (closed): Prince. That's all you need, really.

St. Louis Park: The Wilson brothers (Trip Shakespeare); the Johnson brothers (Run Westy Run, Iffy); the Rivkin brothers (David Z and Bobby Z); the Coen brothers ("The Big Lebowski" nearly qualifies as rock 'n' roll). Also, Peter Himmelman; Matt Fink (Prince & the Revolution); Marc Perlman (Jayhawks); Dan Israel; members of Detroit/Manplanet/Fog.
