The Head and the Heart lights up the Orpheum

By Samantha Marz | Feb. 23, 2017

The Head and the Heart returned to Madison this week to perform at the Orpheum for two nights. On Tuesday, I watched as both the balcony seating and general admission enjoyed a continuous influx of people all waiting in anticipation to see the indie band take to the stage.

ARTS

Revelry looks toward a bright future

By Jake Witz | May. 2, 2016

Both of the headlining acts of Revelry made the most out of a rough situation. The afternoon rain had given Madison a cold, damp grey hangover from the early-morning Mifflin festivities, and the Orpheum was the least habit- able place for those seeking refuge.

ARTS

Fetty Wap performs at Orpheum

Feb. 22, 2016

The first thing I see outside the venue of Fetty Wap’s concert is a blur of teenagers. I’m convinced that the rate of underage drinking at this concert is as high as the percentage of white students that attend UW-Madison.

Crowd dances to ODESZA’s EDM beats at the Orpheum

By Maham Hasan | Nov. 29, 2015

It doesn’t seem too difficult a feat anymore for DJs, dubstep artists or electronic dance music creators to get a crowd to move with their rhythms and beats. It takes something more than just beats to transport people somewhere else though, or to introduce qualities that inspire more than just losing yourself to the music. ODESZA did that Nov. 22 in the Orpheum Theater, and they did so without ever losing the dreaminess that also accompanies their music.

Elephant Revival sounds nostalgically original at Majestic performance

By Ameliah Sutliff | Nov. 16, 2015

Elephant Revival: It sounds like one of the many commonly obscure band names you hear every day, but their performance was far from common. While the “revival” half of the band’s name most likely refers to the folk-revival they embody, it took on a new meaning at the Majestic Friday night as their jovial romp revived a room of souls, once thought to be long-dead under the pressures of jobs and midterms.

Dance music shines with STS9 and Cherub performances at the Orpheum

By Bobby Vanderwist | Oct. 26, 2015

Before I dive into a detailed breakdown of this weekend’s events at The Orpheum Theater, I’ll keep it short and offer this generalization: Man, oh man, the last few days were a great time to be a fan of dance music in Madison. The city’s jam junkies turned out Friday to see their revered heroes in Sound Tribe Sector 9 melt some faces and Saturday, it seemed, everyone in Madison came out for what has become something of a tradition in our city: Cherub’s yearly visit.

When many concertgoers whip out their phones, it becomes difficult to appreciate the show.
OPINION

Too many cell phones detract from everyone’s concertgoing experience

By Eli Radtke | Oct. 26, 2015

It was a crisp October evening in Madison; the leaves were beautiful and the weather was perfect for a warm sweater. I was feeling content, walking down the street towards the glowing sign of the Majestic Theater, visions of the concert to come being entertained in my imagination, as my friends and I enjoyed the warmth of our alcohol blankets. With a few ‘pardon mes’ and only a couple ‘watch it bubs,’ we made our way into a decent position and began to cheer as the lights dimmed. That’s when the crowd began to glow.

Igudesman & Joo blend comedy and Mozart

By Maham Hasan | Oct. 25, 2015

YouTube favorites Igudesman & Joo brought their theatrical and musical mashups with a healthy dose of lunacy to the Overture Friday. Performing their new show “And Now Mozart,” violinist Aleksey Igudesman and pianist Hyung-Ki Joo graced Madison with what can only be described as a comic event that brought together the most unexpected genres of music and elements of theater. Trained as classical musicians from the wee age of 12, the two conquered many grand orchestras and symphonies before they concocted their currently trending madness on stage.
