A rare Tuesday night worth leaving the house for.

We’re excited to announce that The Melismatics will be playing the legendary 7th St Entry on Tuesday, June 23rd with Che Arthur and Two Harbors.

I recently got to play with Che at Joey’s Song in Madison alongside Silversun Pickups, Butch Vig & friends and it was such a great reminder of how powerful live music and real musical community can be.

This lineup feels like one of those special Minneapolis nights — loud guitars, honest songs, old friends, new friends, and the room where we have so many memories.

Tuesday. June 23.
8PM.
18+

Come make a night of it with us.

I’m really proud of this one.

This interview with Greg Eklund of Everclear took a long time to put together, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

What started as a conversation about music became a really honest discussion about creativity, anxiety, pressure, identity, burnout, success, and figuring out life after being part of one of the biggest alternative rock bands of the 90s.

Greg was incredibly open, funny, thoughtful, and real throughout the entire interview.

As someone who loves long-form conversations and genuinely meaningful interviews, this is exactly the kind of thing I hope Secret Chord can continue becoming.

There are so many great stories in here, but also a lot of wisdom and humanity.

I think musicians, creative people, Everclear fans, and honestly anybody trying to navigate life and pressure will get something out of this discussion.

Really excited to finally share it with all of you Watch the full video on my YouTube page Secret Chord.

The Melismatics 5/9/2026. Don’t even THINK of entering the state without first checking with them.

They Rock. I know I’m biased but they are one of the best live bands out there.

They were joined by Mr Tony Ortiz of the 80s band The Monroe’s covering their 80s nugget of pop-gold “What Do All the People Know.” Tony has a new song out under TONEai “Americans” which should be on your music rotation.

Melismatics are just awesome. What a cool rock-show #melismatics #minnesotamusic #indierock #livemusicphotography #alternativerock @hygh_tension_records

This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media.

Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
