The long-awaited (by this, we mean a couple of weeks ago) video for Pink Mink's "Seekin' Scott Seekins" is now online, courtesy of MPLS.TV's City of Music and director Dan Huiting.
Alongside Seekins himself, LOL/OMG's own Jahna Peloquin was an extra in the video (can you spot her in the white lady-Seekins outfit in a black wig and glasses?) and recapped her experience for Vita.mn, complete with behind-the-scenes photos.
City Pages' annual best new band list, Picked to Click, is now online! And who else but the punk rockin', lady-fronted outfit Pink Mink tops this year's list. Congrats ladies and gents! We're sure Scott Seekins is proud.
To check out the full list of bands that snared a top 10 spot, plus a full list of all ballots, visit City Pages HERE or pick up a print copy on newstands Wednesday.
Gimme Noise posted something awesome today! Apparently, local band Pink Mink had never actually met the catalyst for their rockin' tune "Seekin' Scott Seekins." But Tuesday night at Nick & Eddie proved to be the inadvertent meeting grounds for the band and notorious local artist, Scott Seekins. And in true Seekins style, he ate up the attention, even standing on a chair in the middle of the bar during the song.
We're crossing our fingers that sometime he'll join them on stage. And we know damn well he'd star in a music video if asked (crossing toes)!

Our pal Cyn Collins posted this little gem on her Facebook page: a grainy YouTube vid of NEW Minneapolis band, Pink Mink performing their song "Seekin' Scott Seekens" (Seekins, as you probs know, is the most recognizable artist in town...you've definitely seen him!)
Says Cyn, "Christy Hunt (Ouija Radio, Von Bondies) and her brand spanking new band, with Arzu Gocken, Charles Gehr and Jacques Wait. See them at Grumpy's art-a-whirl 5:30 I think. Hopefully I'll get to book them at 501!"
Pink Mink is definitely some kick ass girl rock (with some boys thrown in the mix)! Not to mention, we'll pretty much get behind any band that sings about the amazing Scott Seekins. We hope Cyn books 'em for a Tuesday show at the 501 soon!
