Power-pop favorites The Posies currently are out on a 30th anniversary tour, and the band’s stop in St. Paul, Minn., on Tuesday night featured an extra treat: The group brought Hüsker Dü bassist Greg Norton onstage during the encore to rip through four of that band’s classics.
With Norton on bass, The Posies’ Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow led the group through performances of “Green Eyes,” “These Important Years,” “Makes No Sense At All” and “Sorry Somehow.” The band then continued its encore at the Turf Club by playing its own 1996 song “Grant Hart,” about the Hüskers’ late drummer/singer/songwriter.
Last night at the @TurfClubMN, @theposies covered a handful of Hüsker Dü classics in their encore including “Makes No Sense at All” with original Hüsker bassist Greg Norton.
Phenomenal!

Greg played on Grant Hart as well
Seattle’s best band. Frosting on the Beater still crushes Nevermind like a grape.
