Radio Rumpus Room is a garage-sale high-speed mixmaster missing its top, slinging a messy slop of surf, hot rod, '60s garage, primal pop, primitive rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, psych and traditional twang since 1994.
Ongoing events: In addition to the weekly radio show we are now in our fourth year of hosting the monthly First Saturday Surf Stomp at the Hexagon Bar in Minneapolis. Featured are a revolving cast of surf and instrumental rock bands, with twang and vocal groups frequently included as well. We also hosted the Radio Rumpus Room Hootenanny! series, featuring a mix of bands from the RRR musical melting pot: surf, twang and rock'n'roll. We're proud to be the primary media sponsor of the Minneapolis Messaround car show and the Twin Cities Riot multi-day garage blowout.
