Read moreREVIEW – Anderson East at Summerfest
Summerfest ‘18 was drawing to close. The final night was upon us all and the lineup was of minimal fame. However, one man stood apart from the rest. That man is Anderson East. Anderson East reigned in the crowd in a humble fashion as he nonchalantly walked out onto the Johnson Controls stage on to greet the 150-ish guest that

It was Tuesday, May 8th, 2018 the night Dr. Dog came to Turner Hall to show Milwaukee what they were all about. The crowd was an eclectic amalgamation of hipsters, older folks, and somehow a group of 18-year-old girls. The beer was cold and the air was steamy with the early scents of spring, summer and a hint of patchouli.

Read moreKaleo – Concert Review
Last night, Icelandic rock group Kaleo made their sequel appearance to a sold-out Turner Hall in a glorious way. Kaleo shatters everything you think you know about Icelandic music by ditching all the weird shit that made Bjork famous and in exchange giving us good old American style rock/blues. It’s clear who this band draws their influences from by creating their

Unless you’ve been disconnected from the internet in recent days, you’ve probably heard about the Twitter rant that Meek Mill went on, and Drake’s not one, but two response tracks. This got us thinking, and naturally, we went live on Meerkat to discuss not only this beef, but Action Bronson vs. Ghostface, Lil Wayne vs. Birdman, and plenty of fictional
Read moreReview – Dirty Heads Live 6/24/15
As a veteran Summerfester I’ve been extremely disappointed with the “World’s Largest Music Festival” these last few years. Bands that played 45-minute sets, little to no encores, and some stages having the volume turned down, I’m looking at you Miller Lite Oasis, left a very unkind taste in my mouth. This year made me forget all of that in the

Read moreReview: Sonic Highways – Foo Fighters, Streaming Available
Sonic Highways sets another standard for the Foo Fighters. The album was recorded in 8 different cities, creating 8 different but similar sounding songs. After 20 years, Dave Grohl has set a formulaic sound for his band. From the brooding grunge rock riffs, to the acoustic melancholy ballads, the Foo Fighters stand out from most bands. Although this album doesn’t
