The 7th Street Entry is a smaller venue attached to the side of the historic First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "The Entry", as it is called, is a venue where smaller and lesser known bands will play (more popular bands play the First Avenue mainroom). The 7th Street Entry was originally a coat room. Hüsker Dü's first album Land Speed Record was recorded live at the 7th Street Entry. The song "Cables" on Big Black's Atomizer album was also recorded live at the Entry. The Minneapolis-based band Motion City Soundtrack also recorded their live DVD "Commit This to Memory" at the Entry.
