On this day…
On this day in 1983 New Order performed at the historic First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The nightclub is considered to be a cornerstone of the Midwest music scene, and the starting point for virtually every single band to come out of the Twin Cities, including The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Prince. The First Avenue was the nightclub that appeared in Prince’s 1984 film Purple Rain.
