in Minneapolis. 2019 the band continues to be led by original members Chan Poling & drummer Hugo Klaers plus longtime sax player Max Ray (also of The Wallets). They are augmented by current members Stevie Bransteg and Jeremy Ylvisaker on guitars, Steve Prince on bass, Janey Winterbauer on backup vocals, Rochelle Becker on baritone saxophone, and Steven Kung on horns and keyboards. The band continued its live performances featuring new material plus classic Suburb songs, some of which are rearranged melodies that are toned down from the 1980s era (of the bands live shows). The band has been honored with a star on the outside mural of the Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue, recognizing performers that have played sold-out shows or have otherwise demonstrated a major contribution to the culture at the iconic venue. Receiving a star "might be the most prestigious public honor an artist can receive in Minneapolis," according to journalist Steve Marsh. In July 2021, the band had the honor of reopening First Avenue, which had closed during the COVID pandemic, by playing two sold-out shows at the 7th Street Entry to celebrate the release of their new album, Poets Party.
