TAPES 'N TAPES Friday: Ever since music bloggers helped TNT take flight with the 2006 album "The Loon," these Minneapolis rockers have kept their local shows to a minimum, to the point where each one seems to be an event. This one comes midway through a two-month tour behind last year's underrated sophomore CD, "Walk It Off," an album largely worked up on the road during TNT's nonstop travels in 2007 -- thus, the tunes sound tailor-made for the stage. Adding to the buzz on this hometown gig is the addition of opening band Solid Gold, a local electronic-rock group earning a critical/online buzz akin to TNT's early boom. New Hampshire band Wild Light, which is on tour with the Tapes crew, also performs. (9 p.m. Fri. $12-$14. 18 and older. First Avenue, 7th St. and 1st Av. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388.)
