Read moreREVIEW: The Marcus King Band at Turner Hall
A guitar prodigy, a 5 piece backup band, and a 2-hour full-on rock show. That’s The Marcus King Band summed up in one sentence. I feel as if I’m still coming down from how incredible this show was live. The blues-rock meets country western band played for a rather packed Turner Hall audience this past Sunday and what they lack

Read moreConcert Review: Warpaint keeps it broody & moody at Turner Hall
Los Angeles band Warpaint visited Milwaukee last night for one solid, broody rock show. The setlist primarily highlighted songs off their moody 2016 release Heads Up. The opening act Rose of the West was a perfect match for Warpaint. Despite originating in Milwaukee, something about the band seems southwestern, like a dark creature in a desert. Their music sounds gloomy

Foxygen played Wednesday night at Turner Hall. Considering that their last show in Milwaukee in 2015 was meant as a farewell, it was amazing to see the band in one piece- accompanied, of course. It was a fun showcase of their newest release Hang, in addition to their old jams true to their California rock roots. Cut Worms opened. Their

My dad used to tell me “back in his day” (the ’80s) at concerts and weddings him and his friends would mosh to songs like the Violent Femmes’ “Blister in the Sun.” I always could picture this, but last night the image of this came to life at Turner Hall. Twin Peaks, hailing from Chicago (the drummer wore the Cubs shirt
Read moreDeafheaven at Turner Hall: A Review
I read the other day that Deafheaven has faced grief over the vocalist being too attractive. Ok, I kind of get it. George Clarke–save some beauty for the rest of us, please? This criticism, among many other ones Deafheaven has faced from metal “purists,” is the reason the metal scene in general sometimes turns me off. The instinct to bash

Read moreMayhem at Turner Hall: A Review
There’s something special about seeing a band whose song names alone are enough to scare someone. Mayhem, one of the most iconic black metal bands in history, played at Turner Hall on Tuesday, Jan. 24. With songs such as “Deathcrush,” “Chainsaw Gutsfuck” and “Necrolust,” it leaves you wondering,”Am I bad person for listening to this?” Not in the slightest. This

To say that Brett Newski is a nomad is sort of a huge understatement. The Milwaukee born singer-songwriter quit his day job in 2011 to travel the world, playing music. Newski’s most recent album, “Land, Air, Sea, Garage”, which was partially recorded in Sri Lanka, received tons of acclaim, and he’s already followed that up with a new single, “Everybody

When GGOOLLDD hit the stage on Friday night at a sold out Turner Hall Ballroom, there was a feeling that you weren’t just watching a band. This felt like a spectacle. Friday night was GGOOLLDD’s first (announced) show in Milwaukee since Summerfest earlier in the year, so there was good reason for the added hype. There was some hearsay about
