Growing up in small-town Saint Joseph, Mo., brothers Dee, Isaiah and Solomon Radke enrolled in rock ‘n’ roll high school as their ticket out of Nowheresville. The brothers played their first show opening for Fishbone in 2011 and haven’t looked back since. In 2013, the Cat & Mouse and Devil Fruit EPs took Radkey from sweaty backroom punk gigs to storming festivals in the UK and U.S. Radkey then enlisted Arctic Monkeys producer/mixer, Ross Orton, to produce their debut record, Delicious Rock Noise. The result was an across-the-board detonation of several shades of rock, punk, and wild abandon – and riffs, riffs, riffs. 2019 brought the release of No Strange Cats, produced with Bill Stevenson (Descendents) at The Blasting Room where Radkey‘s sound continued to expand and mature, reflected in the sleek guitar and growing bass. The 2020 self-release of Radkey’s third album, GREEN ROOM on Little Man Records has been described as “A rock album for the 21st Century” (Atwood Magazine) made up of thick, slick rock and roll sounds built on power chords and hypnotic vocal melodies. Radkey is charging into 2022 with this new single release, Games (Tonight) and another full album on the horizon.
They continue to tour nationally and internationally supporting bands such as Foo Fighters, Jack White, Rise Against, The Damned, WIZO, Descendents, Local H, and most recently The Offspring.
Radkey is a testament to the future of music, and this band is primed for rock and roll glory.
With an energetic live show and classic sounds inspired by doo wop and rockabilly, Reynaldo Jenkins and the Teardrops – lead by Joshua Kristopeit – is plenty full of swagger. Playing to Roy Orbison’s croons, Jon Spencer’s strut and the Black Lips’ rowdy, devil-may-care attitude.
Cozy Danger is the surf garage passion project of Jake Brandt, Chris Vertovec and Phil Gieschen. Born from the bend of Milwaukee’s indie rock scene, their jangly brand of surf garage teeters between smiley punk, funk-tinged rock, and surf driven garage pop. Simply put, this band is dog-friendly and fun AF. Cozy Danger is fresh off a year of break-out shows including a sold out Edelweiss Concert Cruise, Milwaukee street fests like Summer Soulstice Festival, and a record release show at Shank Hall. Their latest single, “Basement Uno” spins regularly in rotation on 88.9 Radio Milwaukee.
