About

SOUL ASYLUM IN CONCERT:

Although synths and neon clothing were staples of the '80s, alternative band Soul Asylum stuck to their guns with their guitar-driven grunge sound and ripped jeans. 30 years since after their debut, the band still knows how to rock a crowd, as Dave Pirner's unique, raspy voice carries their powerful music to new heights and stirs emotion in audiences nationwide. Whether they're playing '90s cult classic "Runaway Train" or treating fans to newer tunes, Soul Asylum always deliver a vigorous live performance, and fans can expect more of the same as they hit the road for the Summerland Tour 2014 with fellow rockers Everclear, Eve 6, and Spacehog. 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in the early '80s by high school friends Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, and Karl Mueller, Soul Asylum got their start performing local shows in their home state of Minnesota. After gaining a strong following in the area, they released their 1984 debut Say What You Will...Everything Can Happen, embarking on the first of what would become many rigorous headlining tours. In their three decades together, Soul Asylum have released ten albums, two reaching Platinum certification, as well as two No. 1 singles. As a defining rock band of the '90s, Soul Asylum will bring a healthy dose of nostalgia on the road with them in 2014 as they treat fans to hit-filled sets on their highly anticipated Summerland Tour. 

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Soul Asylum absolutely brought the house down! The show was very high energy and masterfully performed. These guys know what true rock & roll is all about and delivered one hell of a show. I can't recommend it enough!"

"Soul Asylum sounded great. Dave Pirner hasn't lost anything, and the band was tight."

"They were AMAZING and had so much energy! Loved every minute of it, and would definitely see them again!"

    The boys were in rare form. Tommy seemed into it and Michael was solid as usual. The best $17 ever spent. I look forward to some new music next year. I considered driving to Fargo for tonights gig. Great energy!

    Soul Asylum still the best live band!

    by Mercury72 on 10/14/09Potawatomi Casino/Northern Lights Theater - Milwaukee

    This show proves that this band needs to be seen by the masses and be re-born into the public consciousness once again. I have seen Soul Asylum many, many times. I go to all the area shows. They played old, obscure, new and even cover tunes! Tommy Stinson, took lead vocals on a cover of the Who's My generation! Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy the long-standing original members have found the perfect foils for Soul Asylum. Michael Bland is a monster on the drums. The guy can play. Please do yourself a favor you won't regret it. See Soul Asylum. See them often! I will continue to..

    Soul Asylum still the best live band!

    by Mercury72 on 10/12/09Potawatomi Casino/Northern Lights Theater - Milwaukee

    I love seeing Soul Asylum. They are a great live band. Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy have Tommy Stinson (The Replacements\Guns N Roses) on bass replacing Karl Mueller (RIP) and Michael Bland (Paul Westerberg\Prince NPG). The band was loose, rocking and played an 18 song set. Northern Lights Theatre is a cool place to see a show. I liked the setlist as well. They did old songs, classics, covers, and songs from their latest release The Silver Lining. They have the catalog, the chops and it is always a fun time. Do yourself a favor. See this band, and see them often. I do and will continue to do so! Always a fun time.

    SOUL ASYLUM! OUTSTANDING once again!

    by DanSWI on 10/11/09Potawatomi Casino/Northern Lights Theater - Milwaukee

    This is approx the 17th time I have seen SA since the early 1990s. The show was outstanding! Even the opening band Bellview Suite was excellent! I bought their CD and my wife loves it! SA rocked the house and played a great mix of new as well as old school stuff! Met some cool people and had a great time! Even talked to Dave Pirner after the show and got an autograph from both him and Michael Bland. I HIGHLY RECOMEND seeing them to everyone!

    SOUL ASYLUM WAS AWESOME!!!

    by BONEZBENJAMIN on 9/27/09DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston

    I am a hardcore fan of Soul Asylum for many years!! I have several cd's including Clam dips and other delights - Made to be broken - Let your dim light shine - Grave dancers union - And the horse they rode in on - & perhaps my all time favorite Hangtime!!! So when they did Cartoon (my favorite song) off of Hangtime I was in heaven!! It was crazy because I was screaming CARTOON!! And they started it WOW!!! Easystreet was awesome as well!!! Although I was dissappointed in the overall turnout it wasn't half the crowd I expected?? & the fact I was front row and didn't even get a gutair pick..sad moment....Also the Band seemed bummed out as well & Drunk!!!

    Soul Asylum headlines DTE

    by mattbass on 9/2/09DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston

    I have seen SA at DTE several times, but never as the headliner. We've been waiting for them to have the full headliner set. The crowd was small but enthusiastic. The band was definitely "ON" and tore through their set. The only thing that would have made it better is if there had only been three bands on the bill with SA getting a longer set.

    Classic Show

    by MrandMrsHamster on 8/30/09DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston

    7 Mary 3 was the best. They had really great energy and were really intune with the crowd. The other bands put on a good show but were kinda awkward.

    SO AMAZING

    by Gardenofstone10 on 8/28/09DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston

    This was a quad concert. Days of the New did a short, but great set. Sponge and Seven Mary Three really tore it up....but when Soul Asylum came out, the place went crazy, myself included. Their encore of Runaway Train and The Who's My Generation was a great cap to a great night. I can't wait to go see them again!!!!!

    Soul Asylum rocked.

    by ChrisAuric on 8/28/09DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston

    While Sponge rocked out it's home town crowd, Soul Asylum kicked it up to eleven. They took me back ten years to the last time I'd seen them live and they had not missed a beat. Dave Pirner is insane with his incessant rock hero moves and Dan Murphy keeps it real.

    Soul Asylum

    by Pete051462 on 7/8/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    Soul Asylum was great as always, perhaps a bit short on tunes though. Their show lasted a little over an hour but I would like to have heard 3-4 more songs. I think for the money, we should have had a couple more songs. The venue sux. I would not pay to hear anything in the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater in the future, it's too uncomfortable, there was not a great variety of refreshments, and it's a hassle to get to.

    Soul Asylum for the First Time

    by numberonegrandpa on 7/7/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    I had never seen the band before the night of July 2nd. I had heard a few of their songs and was looking forward to seeing them. I wasn't disappointed in the least. The band was great and the atmosphere was the same.

    Soul Asylum was incredible!

    by soobeedoo on 7/6/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    The band was energetic and tight! The comfort of the members with each other made it fun to be part of the audience.

    Fantastic Show!

    by Donny on 7/6/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    It was great to see the band having so much fun playing their hearts out. They sounded just like they always have--fantastic! Little Eli singing "Stand Up and Be Strong" with his dad (D. Pirner) was priceless. My only wish is that they would have played longer, but that is always my wish with Soul Asylum. In the last couple years I saw Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Motley Crue and Soul Asylum (a few times) and, though all were good shows, Soul Asylum is the most fun live. I strongly recommend going to see them live if you a chance.

    Soul Asylum proves replacements

    by guitarfish on 7/4/09Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater - Apple Valley

    First, the MN Zoo is always a great show. It is the perfect venue for any show. And, Thursday night was no exception. The weathear was great, the bugs were few and the music was awesome. Slim Dunlap opened the show and although the adults in our crew loved his satrical Dylan guitar harmonica thing the kids were too stoked to see some rocking and so they were bored. Not too worry I do beleive that the demographic audience was reached and we will be apt to go to another Slim show. Soul Asylum shoved on stage with fun and high energy. Tommy Stinson proved to be a good replacement (figuratively and literally) and humbly filled the bass spot for the all too missed Karl Mueller. Micheal Bland was nothing less than great. He paced the show and added a new power to the old songs. Throughout the show Pirner and Murphy reminded us why we all fell in love with their music in the first place. The intellengent lyrics, the poingant messages and most importantly the great music holding it all together. Thanks Soul Asylum for giving us rock-n-roll that we can share with our kids that isn't dumbing them down but rather helps them think about the world they live in and their place in it. We've taken our kids to your shows since they were in back packs. Now they are 8 and 10 and they are making their own music in our basement!
