Madcity Nights - May 2015

DJ Trichrome spinning tracks on a concert cruise ship opening for 311

Saturday, May 2

Lazy Oaf
Chaos Revolution Theory
Wisconsin Stomp Rock describes these guys, Nick Stanecki, guitar/vox and James Giesen on bass have been holding it down while adding a few members over the years. Grooving bass lines, gritty guitar, and clever lyrics make them a good choice.

Tip: get the Oaf burger, do or do not, there is no try.

High Noon Saloon 1-6pm
Welcome Brewland to Wisconsin
The film crew for “Brewland”, a feature-length documentary about the Craft Beer movement across the United States, is coming to Madison for Craft Beer Week to meet local brewers and beer enthusiasts, maybe get some interview footage? Put on by Hive and partially benefitting the Hops Museum, the event will also feature Wisconsin craft beers on tap, food carts in the parking lot, and the music of Overserved Gentleman from 4-6pm. Brewlandfilm.com

Tip: for non beer drinkers during craft beer week, remain in the spirit and drink local vodka, essentially distilled from “beer”.

High Noon Saloon 8pm
11th Anniversary Party
Agent Orange, In the Whale, 4 Aspirin Morning
Surf-punk power trio Agent Orange began their legendary career in Orange County, CA in 1979 and features founding member Mike Palm on guitar and vocals.

High Noon Saloon 6pm
Beth Kille EP Release
I’m not sure Beth ever sleeps and can appreciate that! Mix a little folk, blues, and rock with a twang of country and a squeeze of singer/songwriter and Beth Kille is what you get. Catch her singing songs from her new EP Stark Raving Songbird along with guests Emerald Grove. BethKille.com

High Noon Saloon 9pm
Daikaiju, Knuckel Drager, Fire Retarded, Roboman
Who is Daikaiju? Pronounced die-kie-joo, they are premium action heroes playing the “most high rocket music” and have “special reverb skills” that ensure “loud sonic boom for earful pleasure”.

“Beautiful radiation of hyper-dimensional springy sound creates divine psychic wind for your special protection”. Japanese Psycho-surf on the menu at Daikaiju.org.

Club Tavern
Madpolecats CD Release, Urban Pioneers
Skunk Grass, Rastabilly.. where do they come up with these genres? Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Either way, Madpolecats is an amazingly talented band playing a wide range of instruments like banjo, upright bass, washboard, fiddle, drums, and of course guitar. Singer Jesse Kaftanski’s dad is the drummer, put that in your FAQ book! Catch them with the bluegrassers from Tennessee Urban Pioneers.

The Frequency
Jimmy K Show w/ Doctor Noise Live

Doctor Noise is the brainchild of guitarist/vocalist Bill Martin who is backed by a group of local scene vets like Tim Budziszewski (Gov Zero) on guitar, John Kussow (Gov Zero) on drums and Joe Golemb (4AM) on Bass. The band doesn’t get together often for shows and the Jimmy K Show is always a lot of fun, especially when turtles drink whiskey.
