Meet the Minnesota rock band most likely to break big

It's a pivotal point in every band’s life: When members can quit their day jobs to go to work night after night around the country.

She's Green is on that precipice this summer. But they haven't yet crossed over. “We're in that zone trying to navigate our minimum-wage jobs with going on the road for several months,” guitarist Liam Armstrong said with a hint of exhaustion during a rehearsal last week in Minneapolis.

Singer Zofia Smith recounted a coworker’s reaction when she said she'd been up late packaging pre-ordered vinyl copies of the new She's Green EP for delivery. “She told me, ‘Beyoncé doesn’t have to do that,” Smith said.

Smith and her four young-dude bandmates have picked up a manager, booking agent, publicist and record label with national-level prominence over the past year. No, they don’t have a Queen Bey-level team behind them, but they can see the other side of that career precipice through the clear packing tape on their vinyl pre-orders.
