Catch Kid hopes to make the crowd smile

By Abbie Ruckdashel | Mar. 4, 2015

Remember when Aaron Carter shared the stage with Hilary Duff? Thirteen years later Aaron is back and ready to bring the party to Madison, only instead of Hilary Duff, a local trio gets to make an appearance. Catch Kid are a band based here in Madison made up of front man Nate Rusch, guitarist Jeremy Van Mill and drummer Luke Osiecki. If that name sounds familiar it’s because they were rocking the WSUM stage at Freakfest this past November. I had the pleasure of catching up with these super awesome guys to see what their plans include for 2015—of course covering the upcoming show with Aaron Carter Thursday. The real question is: Who are these guys?

How to be solitary at concerts and love it

By Brian Weidy | Oct. 13, 2014

To say I’ve seen a lot of concerts in my relatively short span of time seeing concerts may almost be an understatement. From AC/DC to ZZ Top, it’s tougher for me to name a band or artist I haven’t seen than it is to name the one’s I have—or at least it feels that way sometimes.

The Daily Cardinal presents: Bonnaroo 2014

By Cheyenne Langkamp | Jul. 16, 2014

Going to Bonnaroo is a bit like going to a museum filled with lots of stuff to see in a short period of time—except hotter, dustier, and less judgmental. Everyone is trying to get a glimpse of as much as they can, but most know they’ll have a more intimate experience at their hometown venue when the new act comes to town. Trying to see as many performances as possible at Bonnaroo is surely a valid quest, but be prepared to make tough choices. There is too much going on to see it all, but that is also the beauty of Bonnaroo. It is complete sensory overload and you will be pissed at yourself that you had to pee twice during James Blake and that you had to choose between seeing The Flaming Lips, Frank Ocean and the Skrillex Superjam. Still, the four-day fest is completely exhilarating. And the moment you get on the freeway heading home tired and dirty in the middle of the night, you’ll immediately wish you were back on The Farm.

Twenty One Pilots bring unity to sold out Majestic crowd

By Alec Garcia | Apr. 22, 2014

Ohio natives Twenty One Pilots were one of three incredible talents to light up the sold-out Majestic Theatre April 16—preceding them was Hunter Hunted, followed by NONONO. Hunter Hunted, an indie group who prides themselves on perfectly timed drops and the ability to hold their own on stage, played about a half hour set, as well as NONONO, a Swedish rock group who had the only female lead vocalist of the night. Hunter Hunted is in the process of recording their first full-length album and were selling their EP at the Majestic. The members of Hunter Hunted also made their way through the crowd during the other sets and hung out with the audience.

An obsessive fan’s take on Tegan and Sara

By Whitney Newman and Jacklin Bolduan | Feb. 25, 2013

OK, so this weekend I experienced a completely different, incredibly more acceptable and meaningful kind of fandom that has nothing to do with television. I imagine you are shocked that I have any real interests at all. You guys, I’m a real person, not a delirious crabfisher like you might have thought.

Saluting show sobriety

By By Michael Penn II | Oct. 4, 2012

To the horror of peers and piss-scented dudes alike, my friend and I recently embarked on a journey to an EDM show in Madison… sober. For many readers, this may never be a possibility to consider, but allow me to enlighten you: It is an option that is as doable as it is enjoyable. I wrote this guide for people like us: the lone wolf of the Zach Galifianakis-led wolf pack that does not happen to partake in certain substances, legal or not, when attending music events. Since arriving to college, I have planted the soles of several pairs of tattered shoes upon the hardwood floors of many events, all of which I have attended sober. (Save the “You’re better than I am…” speech for someone who isn’t human.) While this mental hitchhike occurred through genres trap, indie, and the like, I discovered a formulaic approach to surviving every DJ set and underwhelming moshpit one may encounter through their time in Madison or anywhere else on the planet, no PBR necessary.
