Cadillac Vs. Cornbread may seem an unlikely collaboration. Cornbread Harris, an 81 year old piano legend, performed on Minneapolis' first rock n' roll record: "Hi-Ho Silver"
with Augie Garcia in 1955. In over the past 60 years Cornbread has
played at nearly every venue in the Twin Cities and has shared the
stage with many talented musicians such as Fats Domino, Jerry Lee
Lewis and Archie Bleyer. A godfather of the Minneapolis sound, he not
only is Jimmy Jam's father but taught Morris Day and the Time along with prince. Currently he has teamed up with Cadillac Kolstad and the Flats, a Minneapolis American roots trio who strive to keep the rich West Bank music tradition alive, made famous by the likes of John Koerner, Willie Murphy and Bob Dylan. Cadillac Kolstad and The Flats
formed in early 2007 and has since performed over 200 shows a year including
music festivals, radio shows and television programs. Combining
Cadillac Kolstad's pounding boogie-woogie piano, backed by Johann Swenson's
finesse on the marching snare, the band takes on a fresh approach to
classic American dance music. While honing their craft, they have been
performing every Sunday at Palmer's Bar on the West Bank, the oldest bar under continuous operation in Minneapolis. They released their self-titled album in the summer of 2007 and are currently working on a live at Palmer's album set to be released 2009
along with an upcoming video documentary about their collaboration
with Cornbread. Cadillac vs Cornbread dedication to authenticity goes beyond
their vintage suits and pompadours, to bringing an acoustic piano, hauling it behind their
1964 Cadillac.

Darling As my MySpace friend, I am including you in something exciting--we have begun to show off my new legit FEATURE FILM! NATASHA KIZMET: THE MOVIE! It has been called BORAT MEETS CANDY by the Denver Post's Bill Husted, and I want your feedback, and the feedback of your MySpace friends! You would be doing me a big favor if you would post this comment so people would know to go the the "My Videos" section of my profile to watch the trailer and the other scenes I have posted. This is my market research as to how well we have done. The film is being shopped as we speak by a major film agent, and we are entering it in Film Festivals! This is exciting, and thanks SO MUCH for your help!!
If you want to help market the film, or get on the list to order the DVD when it comes out at a discount, email me at natasha.kizmet.the.movie@gmail.com

With a sad heart I ask everyone to attend this Benefit. Brad was one our closest and dearest friends. Due to his tragic passing, we are raising money for his beautiful daughters' education funds. I know in these trying economic times, it seems difficult to give. This is why it is so important that we spread the word and all dig deep if nothing else with effort in order to help bring some safety back into 2 little girls lives. Please help by forwarding this on and please please please attend. Thank you for your time.

I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Sunday! I hope that the weekend brought you fun adventures, relaxation, and contentment :)
I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
Here's the info:
