Scorched Tundra VIII in Chicago was Minsk’s last live performance of 2017. A very fitting punctuation to the touring cycle for The Crash & The Draw.

A lot of thought and care on the part of the organizers went into making this a very special event, including partnerships with some of Chicago’s finest local purveyors of food and beverage, an incredible lineup, a fantastic venue, and all sorts of love. It was a great excuse to get ourselves together in a room and make noise.

The effort that Alexi Front, the festival’s organizer, put into getting things just right was palpable and definitely paid off.
