Avantide is a four-piece alternative rock band from Bismarck, born from a shared love of music discovered in the aisles of a local record store. Drawing inspiration from The Black Keys, Pavement, and Spoon, the band blends catchy melodies, memorable lyrics, and tight instrumentals to create a sound that's both fresh and familiar.

Fort Buford State Historic Site was one of several military posts established to protect overland and river routes used by immigrants settling the West. It operated from 1866 to 1895 and is probably best known as the place where Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull relinquished his rifle to the U.S. government in 1881.
