The Gateway District are a pop punk band from Minneapolis that feature members of several other bands, including the Soviettes, Banner Pilot, the Salteens, Dear Landlord, Rivethead and Off with Their Heads.
The band originally formed as a side project when the Soviettes and Rivethead stopped performing in 2006, but even though all of the band members are still active in other projects, they have continued with this project.[1]
The band is named after a part of Minneapolis (around Hennepin and Washington) that was considered the heart of the city at one time.[2][3]
