Performers at this Event
Alison Krauss
Alison Krauss Remove performer from this event
Alison Krauss helped bring bluegrass to a new audience in the '90s. Blending bluegrass with folk, Krauss was instantly acclaimed from the start of her career, but it wasn't until her platinum-selling 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You that she became a mainstream star.
Roky Erickson
Roky Erickson Remove performer from this event
Like Syd Barrett, a common point of reference, Roky Erickson rose to cult-hero status as much for his music as for his tragic personal life; in light of his legendary bouts with madness and mythic drug abuse, the influence exerted by his garage-bred psychedelia was often lost in the shuffle.
John Fogerty
John Fogerty Remove performer from this event
John Cameron Fogerty achieved fame as the lead singer/songwriter and guitarist in Creedence Clearwater Revival and has since gone on to a chart-topping solo career. Born in Berkeley, CA, Fogerty and his brother Tom organized the group that would become Creedence as the Golliwogs in the late '50s.
Robert Plant
Robert Plant Remove performer from this event
In 1968, a naïve young singer from the Black Country hills in England named Robert Plant was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones.
Spiritualized
Spiritualized Remove performer from this event
Formed from the ashes of the trance-rockers Spacemen 3, singer/guitarist Jason Pierce's group Spiritualized did not break away from his prior band's trademark hypnotic minimalism; instead, they perfected it.
Beck
Beck Remove performer from this event
One of the most inventive and eclectic figures to emerge from the '90s alternative revolution, Beck was the epitome of postmodern chic in an era obsessed with junk culture. Drawing upon a kaleidoscope of influences -- pop, folk, psychedelia, hip-hop, country, blues, R&B, funk...
Old 97's
Old 97's Remove performer from this event
One of the most popular bands in the alternative country movement's rock & roll wing, Old 97's hailed from Dallas and drew their inspiration from classic country, bar band rock, the raw sound of early punk, and -- especially on their later records -- the tight songcraft of power pop.
Erykah Badu
Erykah Badu Remove performer from this event
She grew up listening to '70s soul and '80s hip-hop, but Erykah Badu drew more comparisons to Billie Holiday upon her breakout in 1997, after the release of her first album, Baduizm. The grooves and production on the album are bass-heavy R&B, but Badu's langurous, occasionally...
Jamie Lidell
Jamie Lidell Remove performer from this event
British producer Jamie Lidell became as widely recognized for his effective neo-soul vocals and performance as for his earlier career as a producer of groovy experimental techno. After some EP releases for labels such as Mosquito and an appearance on the Mille Plateaux-released Industrialsamplecoregouchbeat...
Yonder Mountain String Band
Yonder Mountain String Band Remove performer from this event
Although the Yonder Mountain String Band was formed in Nederland, CO, its origins go back to Urbana, IL, where college student and banjo player Dave Johnston met mandolin player Jeff Austin.
The Black Keys
The Black Keys Remove performer from this event
The two-man duo comprising the Black Keys, singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney, were in their early twenties when their debut, The Big Come Up, was issued in 2002. From Akron, OH, they play close-to-the-bone, raw blues-rock, the only instrumentation being Auerbach's...
Conor Oberst
Conor Oberst Remove performer from this event
With a trembling voice, acoustic guitar, and confessional approach to songwriting, Conor Oberst played an important role in shaping the lighter, intimate side of indie rock during the late-'90s and beyond.
José González
José González Remove performer from this event
Swedish singer/songwriter José González is a star in his native land. His album Veneer was released there in the early 2000s and has achieved gold status. Far from the pop album you might expect from such a statement, the album is an entirely acoustic affair that reflects a childhood...
Man Man
Man Man Remove performer from this event
Based in Philadelphia but also spending time in New York, Man Man feature Honus Honus (vocals/synthesizer), Tiberius Lyn (drums), Clint Killingsworth (bass), and Steven Dufala (guitar/trumpet).
The Fratellis
The Fratellis Remove performer from this event
Glasgow's Fratellis feature Jon Fratelli (vocals/guitar), Mince Fratelli (drums/vocals), and Barry Fratelli (bass). The witty indie rock trio, who formed in early 2005, maintain that their moniker is merely an homage to Barry's original surname; however, other rumors suggest that...
Robert Earl Keen
Robert Earl Keen Remove performer from this event
Rockin' Texas Singer-Songwriter Robert Earl Keen's new album, "What I Really Mean," was released on May 10th, 2005. It might not be a crime to place him in the class of talented Texan songwriters such as Guy Clark or his old friend Lyle Lovett, but it might be a mistake.
MGMT
MGMT Remove performer from this event
Finding an unlikely middle point between Suicide's hostile proto-electro punk art noise and the sardonic, studied, but ultimately pop-friendly sound of the Flaming Lips, MGMT started as electroclash musical terrorists but quickly transmogrified into an eclectic, brainy pop group...

Mar 05, 2008 - jimmyh on Beck
Original

I've enjoyed Beck's music since he first became well-known in the 90's, and he continues to create interesting music in a style of his own. In the early days he was not afraid to experiment, and his unique ideas yielded ear-opening results. These days he seems to be struggling to keep up his momentum, but he is still a talented musician who is good at his craft.

(no rating) Oct 09, 2007 - yonder on Yonder Mountain String Band
Milwaukee show at the rave on 10/5/07

The Wood Brothers opened the show for yonder and got the crowd movin quite nicely for an acoustic guitar/upright bass duo. The Wood Bros. played several songs from "Ways Not To Lose" which inclueded Atlas, Luckiest Man, Where My Baby Might Be, and One More Day along with a few others. When Yonder came out the crowd was ready to see what they had to offer. Ben opened with Looking Back Over My Shoulder and the crowd just loved it. Yonder invited the Wood bros. back out to jam with em which was a good treat. They pulled out a brand new song named "Cupid shot me twice and missed you all together" Yonder did a wonderful job of preforming "dawns early light" "east nashville easter" and "upon the hill where they do the boogie" All in all everyone who went to the show in Mil town was done justice and I'm willing to bet the show in Mad town will be better
