Halloween Alaska draws on big names to celebrate.... the 80's?

by Chris Roberts, Minnesota Public Radio

Members of three prominent Twin Cities musical groups, Happy Apple, 12 Rods, and Love Cars are taking a break from their noisier roles as rock and jazz musicians. They've formed a new band called Halloween, Alaska. The group describes its songs as quiet, mood pop, with a heavy nod to one of its favorite musical eras, the 1980s.
