The Heavenly States are Ted Nesseth, Jeremy Gagon, Genevieve Gagon and Masanori Mark Christianson. A Minnesota lefty born of humble means, frontman/lyricist Ted Nesseth plays his guitar upside down and backwards because he taught himself to play on his friends' guitars. Not wanting to wait to learn how to play straight ensured that he'd have an inexorable ticket to a certain kind of sound that was well-suited to the punk Minneapolis scene he came up in.
These are photos from concerts where The Heavenly States played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
