Show Lineup
The LOL
(Milwaukee)
Genre: Electronic
The LOL make electronic dance music in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
“Dance music at its most pop-forward, filtering the singing-into-a-hairbrush exuberance of classic Madonna through the half-rapped/all-attitude mentality of Kesha, with a little bit of Beyoncé’s no-nonsense politics thrown in.”
-Shepherd Express
“It’s life-affirming, but it doesn’t put up with anybody’s shit” -Milwaukee Record

Seasaw
(Madison, WI)
Genre: Indie Rock
Projecting – the newest album from indie-rock duo Seasaw – will be released on April 21, 2023. The album was recorded by the Madison, WI band in their apartments throughout 2020 and was mixed by former Madisonian Beau Sorenson (Thao, Death Cab for Cutie).
Writing, recording, and performing as a two-piece, Seasaw has moved through many iterations to arrive at their newest release. Starting out as a folk band obsessed with CocoRosie, they have now fully bloomed into the fuzzed out rock and roll stepchild of their former selves. Seasaw lives for metamorphosis and continues to get comfortable embracing the flux.
Proudly admitting that they both cry at least once a day, you would never get that from the exuberant and playful songs and videos released by the pair. It seems like embracing that catharsis might be the trick to being able to thoroughly feel and enjoy the fun in this life, which is exactly what they show us on Projecting.
