Prairie Clamor Information
TL;DR: Prairie Clamor is a band that does their best to make pop music!
Location:
Dakota land, MN, USA.
What is Prairie Clamor?
Prairie Clamor was created by Will Bjorndal in 2017 as a fictitious band from Austin, MN. Since then, Prairie Clamor has become a lot less fictitious, releasing three studio albums, touring the U.S., and visiting both the highest and second-highest natural points in Iowa. Nice! Through what (legendary) rock critic Byron Coley apty described as large scale pop moves,¹ Prairie Clamor aims to find hope in the face of ever-increasing awfulness.
Prairie Clamor live in Minneapolis, MN. The band performs regularly in the Twin Cities and hits the road from time to time. Performance locales have included nightclubs, gardens, alleys, gutted church basements, living rooms, bars, dorm common rooms, and parking lots.
