The Trinkets are an indie pop rock band from Duluth founded by Elsie Zimmerman (vocals/guitar) and April Dressel (drums). They’re inspired by the music of their parents’ generation like Green Day, Weezer, Nirvana, and Radiohead, but they are also students of modern artists such as Chapelle Roan, Billie Eilish, and Clairo. Although they are a new band, they’ve played a fair share of shows around town, including Spirit of the Times and Gag Me With a Spoon. They’ve been working on a debut EP, and have recently released an original single, Anabelle. Fronted by vocalists Jenna Harting and Lisa Wentworth, Mid Dream cranks out upbeat pop-punky anthems, soul searching ballads, and some things decidedly neither. With Rachel Riefenberg on drums, Matt Prois on bass, Alex Nelson on keys, and Bryan Wentworth toeing the line between lead guitar and synthscape, their tunes are filled with compelling textures and powerful harmonies.

The music explores the outer limits of their cosmic sound, with exploding drums, hypersonic guitars, slippery bass syrup, and soaring over the top of it, as always, the sweet harmonies of Rich Mattson and Germaine Gemberling. Their last full-length record, “Out There,” was released in 2022, followed by the 2024 single “Rendezvous With a Star” and 3-album set of solo acoustic versions from Mattson (“Spartan Tracks Vol. 1-3”). The group was invited to open for the mighty Built To Spill on a tour from Minneapolis to Pittsburgh. The new Northstars rhythm section of Chris Petrack (drums) and the young Calvin Lund (bass) were ready for action, and the tour was a rocking success. Over the course of his…
