The Frequency
The Hippy Hideout

Stop down to the First Monday edition of the Hippy Hideout and get your fill of everything hippy from the psychedelic jams of Sweet Delta Dawn to the fusing of improv poetry and rhythm of FlowPoetry to the tongue-in-your-cheek bluegrass of the Material Boys. And don’t forget about the Funkyard Dealers and Dr. Beatz. Hosted by Jon Schinke the event will also serve as a food/supply drive for Standing Rock.

The Frequency
GGOOLLDD, Tigernite

After wowing the crowds this year at Orton Fest and Live on King Street, Milwaukee’s power-house groovologists GGOOLLDD hold pop-court with morphable party-rockers Tigernite for a two-fisted double-header that promises to shine, sparkle and get down in upstaging crazy Friday festivities.  By John Noyd

Archarus from Indianapolis join Madison heavyweights The Garza, Cosmic Relic, Tubal Cain and Black Frost (Fond Du Lac) for a jam-packed night of dirty, noisy, heavy goodness.

Dead Man’s Carnival Brings The Circus Spirit
LIVE MUSIC // CIRCUS // BURLESQUE
