TicketsThe saying goes that on every block in the Midwest, there’s one bar and one church. If you tie one on too tight, you don’t have far to go to find a place that’s supposed to forgive you for all your sinning. The songs of Milwaukee-based Ladybird live somewhere on that block—on the long, cold walk between the high times at the tavern with your friends and the shadow of the steeple that reminds you of tomorrow’s responsibilities and yesterday’s mistakes. The band’s second full length album, Clementine, is due on October 10.
Alewives is a country-rock band known to jangle, choogle, twang, drone, and maybe even jam. Born out of stewardship for rock n’ roll, the (mostly) Wisconsin-based projects draws from numerous classic forms like heartland rock, power-pop, garage, roots rock, art punk, country, and more. An equal dose of tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve, Alewives wavers between descants of self doubt and wry tales of frustration at the self-serve laundry.
Chapped Lips is a four-piece alternative rock band based in Milwaukee (originally from Sheboygan). Power pop, funk, blues, and punk all get thrown into a high-voltage blender. FFO The Strokes, Foxygen, Stephen Malkmus.
