MINNEAPOLIS — One of the bandleaders wound up being a renowned rock producer. Another now builds guitar effects pedals for much more famous musicians.
Mostly, though, the five Twin Cities groups featured on the new compilation album "Southeast of Saturn, Vol. 2" were forgotten. Which makes it all the cooler that Jack White's record label is now showing them some love.
"Clearly the bands on this compilation were doing what they believed in (as were we), because labels were not salivating over" this stuff, said Michael Reiter, drummer for one of those bands, the 27 Various.
