THE SYMPTONES BIO:

The Symptones are a six piece indie rock band from Minneapolis by way of Margaritaville.

BEAR BIO:

Rising from the ashes, they're returning for one night only to get noisy, sing their guts out, and play their old party favorites. They miss each other and playing what they've dubbed Albert Leamo—a Midwestern indie rock sub-genre born in the small southern Minnesota town they grew up in.
