Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Thursday, September 14th, 2017
September 14, 2017 (September 14, 2017) // Riot Fest


We start today with the tragic news of Grant Hart‘s passing from fucking cancer. The Hüsker Dü drummer was 56, and leaves behind a legacy of great songs, strong opinions, many laughs, and tender memories. Twin Cities music beat writer Chris Riemenschneider eulogizes the hometown hero in today’s Star Tribune:
