Help these nice musicians pay their rent

The words "rent party" might conjure images of a bunch of freeloading musicians trying to get you to pay for a kegger at a house where 20 of them live, but in the case of the so-called "Rent Party!" taking place tonight at the Turf Club, it's actually something a little more meaningful. A bunch of well-known local players who share a productive rehearsal space in Minneapolis are teaming up on stage to help pay the bills there -- especially the sure-to-be-ugly heating bill coming up. Fair enough. Cover is a mere $5 and will include a reunion by Love-cars as well as a performance by frontman James Dier's other band, Halloween, Alaska. It's also another chance to see Gramma's Boyfriend, the fun new all-star group featuring Haley Bonar, Jeremy Ylvisaker, Jacob Hanson and Mike Lewis, all of whom are also playing with their other bands. Here's the whole lineup.
