Alt-rock band The Wrecks are coming to Madison on October 19, but that’s probably not the only genre you’ll hear when they take the stage at the Majestic Theatre.
On a cool July night, I joined several patrons at a local establishment in enjoying a cold beer and fried food while waiting for the doors to open at The Sylvee.
At approximately 9:17 PM, Milwaukee’s BMO Harris Pavilion came to life with colored lights sweeping across the stage and “Down With The Sickness” by hard rock band Disturbed blaring. The audience responded promptly to this influx of sight and sound, shaking the expansive venue floor with its cheers. Smoke poured from the back of the stage and encroached the tall metal barricade behind which fans writhed in anticipation.
The Mountain Goats have a cult-like following, to say the least. The audience had a strong presence at the Sylvee, so much so that it defined the night. What The Mountain Goats lack in vocal talent, they make up for in community-building among their fanbase and vivid lyricism.
Hands rested on backs, arms curled around waists, chins rested on shoulders and fingers intertwined — it seems that everyone, from retirees to college students, seeing Leon Bridges at the Sylvee on May 2 was coupled up for a date night. This is no surprise, given the sultry and romantic lyrics that Leon Bridges is best known for.
On Thursday night, I had a fiesta of my own at Jake Scott and Ben Rector’s “The Joy of Music” tour at the Sylvee.
On Saturday April 9 at 8 p.m., I went to a concert…with my dad. And honestly, he matched the crowd more than I did. But that is to be expected from a psychedelic rock band formed in 1983. Despite their age, these guys know how to put on a performance.
High Noon Saloon was the perfect venue for Friday’s deeply personal and enthusiastic performance by Del Water Gap, the solo project of New York-based musician S. Holden Jaffe.
Fusion band Khruangbin released the sequel to their chart-topping EP Texas Sun with the follow-up Texas Moon and kicked their nation-wide tour off with a visually and sonically jaw-dropping set Friday, March 4 at The Sylvee.
Still Woozy released their first full-length album If This Isn’t Nice, I Don’t Know What Is in August, and are now in the midst of a seven-month-long tour around the world. They stopped in at The Sylvee on Friday night and performed a sixteen-song set for an extremely dedicated crowd. The Sylvee was sold out — a large feat — and it was clear that the crowd was full of diehard fans as soon as lead singer Sven Gamsky began his first song of the night, “Window.”
Concerts are some of the best memories I have made in Madison, and Hippo Campus’ performance at The Sylvee last Thursday was one of them.
The Greeting Committee stopped in at Memorial Union to deliver their 19 song setlist for their “Dandelion” tour Friday night. This was their first show on a 20-stop tour that hits major cities all across the U.S.
Before I saw them live, I wasn’t really a big fan of SURFACES. While I knew and enjoyed a few of their hit songs, like “Sunday Best,” “24 / 7 / 365” and “Heaven Falls / Fall on Me,” SURFACES’ music isn’t something that I’d ever voluntarily put on.
At around 9:30 p.m., the French musician, DJ, record producer, singer and songwriter Madeon ran onto the stage to the sound of his screaming fans, styling a black button-down loose shirt that was tucked into his golden shimmering flowy pants and a black, flat brim hat.
The days leading up to Summer Salt’s arrival in Madison were rainy and dreary, but their concert at the Majestic Friday night made it clear that summer isn’t over yet.
Although there was no moshing and masks stayed on at the Julien Baker concert, it was anything but quiet. People in line cautiously befriended each other, bonding over which songs they suspected they would cry to and how strange it felt to be back in line for a concert again.
There is a lot of anxiety amid the return to live shows.
Fresh off her breakthrough album “Jubilee,” there was little question Michelle Zauner and her entourage that makes up Japanese Breakfast would bring the energy on a Saturday night in Madison.
Tragic news, folks. Freakfest, Madison’s iconic downtown Halloween celebration, will be cancelled for the second year in a row due to COVID-19.
As the son of an opera singer, and a self-proclaimed fan of artists ranging from MF DOOM to The National, rising artist Bartees Strange is no stranger to various genres. It makes sense, then, that his set at the Memorial Union Terrace on Sept. 12 was somewhat of a melting pot of different musical elements from rock to folk to rap, which was perfect — there was something in store for everybody.
