ROB SEZ: Ya never know when a lost gem might show up. This 1999 live set by the Minneapolis alt-pop group the Hang Ups surfaced recently, so I had to share it. HUGE THANKS to the taper & sharer (see above). You might find some more goodies hiding around here if you look...

MP3@320
 
FLAC (I'm sharing the 1999 NYC set in lossless as well as lossy. The 2013 set, however, is only available in lossy, and it's included in both downloads)

REPERCUSSION: Mitch Easter and Don Dixon produced the band's 1999 album Second Story (AllMusic Album Pick, 4-star rating).

Learn more about the Hang Ups' music at Trouser Press and Wikipedia. You can purchase a lossless download of the band's self-titled 2003 album at Bandcamp.
