REVIEW: Courtney Barnett at Pabst Theater
It was a chilly night the night that Courtney Barnett took to Pabst Theater. That didn’t stop the crowd from selling the place out. Since the pandemic I don’t think I’ve been a show that packed and let me tell you, it felt great to have that again. The indie rocker darling clearly has amassed a following that was so

It wasn’t long ago that Anderson East graced Milwaukee. This time around he came back with a ton more love and a show that he made sure Milwaukee would remember.

Read moreBanks at Pabst: A Review
As it goes with a lot of artists, I distinctly remember first hearing about Banks. It was 2014, and I was in my dreaded magazine writing class, a few months from graduating journalism school in Arizona. Word to the wise, not from the wise–wait, what’s that saying? Never. Take. Magazine. Writing. Do listen to Banks. My friend Patrick who’s now
Read moreTwo Door Cinema Club Blows MKE Away with their First Show Here
The audience was quiet and waiting around slowly anticipating Two Door Cinema Club’s premiere MKE’s show at Pabst Theater. Being hump day, you can tell people were tired and very little low energy after the week. Suddenly, an insane light show started to happen. EDM pump up music started playing, making me and everyone else confused of where they were.
Read moreNew Pornographers Rock Out at Pabst Theater
Bright colored lights and a stage full of instruments stared the audience in the face as they awaited New Pornographers to take the Pabst Theater stage. It no time at all, the large band of eight people came out and people admittedly went nuts. No, porn didn’t take place; I swear, they are musicians. Anyways, their lights went brighter, the

Accompanied by Atlas Genius and Night Riots, it was an emotional, colorful, and alt-rock fused event that won’t soon be forgotten. The night was kicked off by California-born Night Riots, whose raw lyrics
Read moreBen Gibbard Captivates Milwaukee Yet Again
Growing up in a music-loving household, I was introduced and fell in love with the voice and sound of alternative-rock at a young age, particularly Death Cab for Cutie. The soft hurt and beauty always found a way to chill my bones, (and still does to this day). Fast forward a few years, to a chilly January evening as I

So, since this crazy year of music is wrapping up, I wanted to give you a taste of the top concerts I had a pleasure of witnessing this year. Here’s the countdown: 10.) TACOCAT AT
Read moreMilwaukee Fell in Love with Ingrid Michaelson at The Pabst
The stage had huge panels with lyrics written all over it. They were filled with words scratched out and scribbled like it was a journal. Her name was written on the top of the panels. The instruments were all set. It was now just a waiting game for the audience. They sipped their wine and drank their beers, hoping soon
Read moreWye Oak at Turner Hall: A Review
Wye Oak played at Turner Hall Ballroom Tuesday, Aug. 2. It is a band I listened to constantly throughout college, kind of a darker indie rock duo that gained tons of traction through the song “Civilian” on its 2011 album named the same. I want to say it was used in a Walking Dead teaser. Don’t quote me on that.
Read moreREVIEW: M. Ward at the Pabst Theater
The Pabst Theater was full of excited fans Friday night as Milwaukee welcomed singer/songwriter M. Ward. He has not had a headline show in Milwaukee for over seven years, so his show at the Pabst with special guests Big Thief and Nice as F*** was quite the occasion. The first act of the night was Nice as F***, a super

Angel Olsen performed in Milwaukee for the first time on Thursday, June 16 at the Pabst Theater. She’s one of those artists I had been dying to see live for quite some time, mainly due to her other-worldly set of lungs. Occasionally, I hear a voice so spectacular that I want to witness it live on a stage, for a
