Named after an abandoned pyramid-shaped nightclub, THE NILE CLUB is: Marcie Star, Samwise Baker, Sam Walters and Jack Lusk. Formed in 2017, the group has always had a staunch love for the DIY arts. After meeting up in a few basements in Wisconsin, they eventually combined their songwriting and self recorded their first LP “Motions”, which then came out in 2019. THE NILE CLUB then quickly found their place in the emerging Milwaukee music scene in 2020, sparking connections and friendships quickly with other artists. After quarantine, the group had amassed enough material to release their second LP, “Wake Up With A Sense Of Pride” which was released in January 2023. They celebrated this release with a small run of sold out dates, accompanied by their friends in Shoobie. The album features anything from lovesick pop anthems like Forever Is A Word, to the self deprecative calamity of Burnt Young Man, to the soul crushing story of Open Arms, which is wrapped in a spaced out jazzy groove. Many shows and some new music on the way, keep your eyes peeled!!!!!

Much love -The Nile Club

Sex, Fear

(Madison, WI)

Genre: Indie Rock

Drawing as much from brooding post punk as heart-on-sleeve indie rock, Madison four-piece Sex, Fear bring their melodic and dissonant songwriting for the Cactus Club stage for the first time this evening. Moody vocals, angular guitars and a rock solid rhythm section are all hallmarks of the band’s sound, one that harkens back to some of the finer moments of the early 2000s indie rock explosion.
