Performances will take place during the HALF TIME of the football games they’re associated with. The time listed on the site is in conjunction with the start of the game 🙂

As usual, there will be a DJ playing music during commercial breaks. There will also be touchdown shots (both regular and N/A options will be offered). Games will be shown in the bar as usual, but they’ll also be shown on a projector screen in Cactus Club’s live room. Often Tranfer’s delicious pizza will arrive in many boxes for your free enjoyment. And we repeat: THERE’S NO COVER CHARGE for the concerts. All ages welcome. Go Pack!

Many thanks to our sponsors: Milwaukee Record, Hamms, Transfer Pizzeria, Wynk Seltzer + THC

Show Lineup

Chinese Telephones

(Milwaukee)

Genre: Punk

Chinese Telephones are a pop-punk band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They started in 2004 and have five releases out, including a split 12″ with the Potential Johns and a 2007 self-titled LP/CD. They have been featured in Maximumrocknroll, Razorcake, Punk Planet, and the webcomic Nothing Nice To Say.

Language Models

(Concord, NH)

Genre: DJ

Lost track of how many sweaty years in hypnotic underground black boxes have culminated in a thriving relationship with vinyl turntables. Fluent in house & techno and progressive & disco, and open to anything: all music is dance music.

Language Models hosts Open Decks, a Cactus+ Program that makes professional DJ equipment available with guidance to both aspiring and practicing DJs. Open Decks occurs twice each month: the 1st Saturday with digital formats, and the 3rd Saturday with vinyl.

Language Models also hosts Transport, Cactus Club’s own late-night dance party series that focuses on the psychedelic sounds of Midwest house and techno, classic and cutting edge. Transport brings DJs from throughout the region to share the the variety of this rich tradition on the Cactus dance floor.

Language Models is optimistically curious about the political potential of dance music events. If you’re curious about just how curious, feel free to check out the dissertation.
