Aside from seeing more live shows than most past years, 2025 has objectively sucked for me so far. That being said…getting to see Deftones twice and having them release a new album within the past 7 months has been a bright spot. This is still the same North American Tour 2025 but “part 2” and of … Read more
It’s spring 2025 and feels more like winter, but there’s some weird noise rock in the air mixed with the undeniable bacon odors that come for free with a visit to X-Ray Arcade in Cudahy, WI. Tuesday night, Kickstand Productions, all ages, three bands. Couldn’t think of a better place to be. For those who … Read more
2022 also starting with back-to-back winter concerts. Also again it’s mewithoutYou (setlist here). Tonight it’s in Cudahy, Wisconsin at the X-Ray Arcade which itself is an interesting place that looks like a tiny dive from outside but has a relatively large music area inside that I didn’t expect. Crowd was packed shoulder-to-shoulder and while it’s … Read more
Last stop on my short weekend trip is just south of Grant Park on the Oak Creek Parkway at a small man-made “waterfall” (spillway) called Mill Pond Spillway. Not much fanfare at this location – only one small historical sign entitled “Millstones from Fowle Mill” detailing how the millpond was created to power the grist … Read more
Friends of mine scored tickets for the Foo Fighters latest Concrete and Gold tour in Milwaukee at the new Fiserv Forum. Gotta say I didn’t expect to see such an impressive show – nearly 3 hours long and one of the best light displays I’ve ever seen. Setlist can be seen here. Don’t forget to … Read more
Estabrook Falls is another easy access waterfall in Southeastern Wisconsin. Located in the Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood, you can find these falls by walking down a short stairway near the Estabrook Beer Garden. The Milwaukee River is very wide here and there is no chance to get better views without swimming or a drone. Hard … Read more
Another short detour near home and bagged another 2 waterfalls for my checklist. This time it was Menomonee Falls just northwest of Milwaukee. Starting at the far north end is Mill Pond Park which contains a spillway that was crafted to appear like a natural waterfall and is visible from the street. Directly south across … Read more
Sharing old concert photos that I found on an old hard drive. Bright Eyes at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I don’t recall exact details, but I believe this only happened because someone else backed out last minute and I took their spot. My friend who organized the trip chartered a limo (first limo … Read more
Circa Survive’s Blue Sky Noise Tour. First time seeing Circa Survive and they didn’t disappoint with their amazing live presence, giant LED light boards, and confetti cannons. Crap quality pictures due to the primitive cell phone technology but was a great show. Lineup order: Codeseven, dredg, and Circa Survive. Concert Archives link here for the … Read more
Sharing some super old concert photos. These are terrible quality since I had a shitty LG CU920 phone at the time but it makes you appreciate what we have nowadays that much more. Murder By Death Couldn’t find a setlist, but you can see on this page an approximation based on their other recent shows. … Read more
