TRIP SHAKESPEARE

“Toolmaster of Brainerd (live)” & “Reception (live)”

(Minneapolis, MN 1990)

Dan Wilson’s solo album Free Life comes out today.

Long before he was in Semisonic, Dan played guitar and keyboards in Trip Shakespeare with his brother Matt.

A&M could never get Trip Shakespeare on the radio, so their following never grew outside of the Midwest.

Since you had to see them to really get it, here’s a couple of live recordings from “The Crane” 12″ single.

• Download: “Toolmaster of Brainerd (live)“
• Download: “Reception (live)“
