Opening Band Upstaged By Pre-Show Music

MINNEAPOLIS—The Vic Taybacks, opening for Superchunk at 400 Bar Tuesday, were upstaged by the pre-show music on the venue’s sound system. “While we were setting up our stuff, [Hüsker Dü’s] Flip Your Wig was playing, and the crowd was going nuts,” said Vic Taybacks bassist Geoff Davis. “Then we started playing, and it got quiet and everybody just sort of drifted off to the bar.” The band has previously been upstaged by Queen’s Greatest Hits and the Repo Man soundtrack.
