--> ok, so according to the "area" portion of the site, there's 43 of us from the wisconsin area on here, and yet the only posters are he can jog, myself, and two or three "once-in-a-great-while" types. what gives? this scene won't make itself, my friends. i don't know about you, but i want to get things DONE! make some RECORDS! play some SHOWS! go out and SUPPORT! get people INVOLVED! because music is RAD! and even though i have a couple jobs and not a lot of free time i still put in the work because otherwise i would turn into a ZOMBIE! or a REPUBLICAN! i promise i'll stop writing in caps RIGHT NOW!!

phew. ok, the point is: let's do this. finish that track. send out that demo. book that show. put up those flyers. today. not next week. make more moves. if you're a wisconsinite (or chicagoan (is that a word?)), you have an opportunity to participate tonight! battles (they're on warp records) are playing tonight here in milwaukee at stonefly brewery (735 e. center st) with singer (ex 90 day men, lichens, and u.s. maple), collections of colonies of bees (memb. pele, emotional joystick, pressboard) and bts.wrkng. i promise it'll knock your socks off and you'll be glad you participated.

ok, BREAK!

hi nick

i think that's going to be a stellar show - i'm torn though, i promised i'd see the milwaukee laptop orchestra at hotcakes a few months ago and i just found out it's tonight too. blooo - it's at 7:30 though so maybe I can make both. fun night!

(also - hi wisconsin!)

Utah is worse.

Although I did get an offer for collab a while back from "labtekz" but he/she dissapeared subsequently.

There's only one other utahn with actual tracks posted.

So is milwaukee as great as so many people tell me? I saw that gargantuan music festival thing you guys just had, and that awesome art museum, and all that beer and cheese and stuff, so I thought it might be a nice place to live. Do you recommend it?
I know thats a stupid question because no electronic musician ever recommends anything but portland. I don't need a scene, I just need some good food and nice people and a local brewery or two.

The big Wisconsin music festival (Summerfest) is certainly big, but it's almost all state-fair type acts: Big & Rich, INXS, Blue Oyster Cult, etc. There's a schedule online--there are some good acts (Morris Day and the Time, Randy Travis). I went to a day of Summerfest once, and while there were a lot of fun bar bands it was nothing you couldn't find on any given night in Austin or Nashville.

Wisconsin definitely has the best state quarter though.

if my state were made of cheese, i wouldn't be very motivated either.

there is a ridiculous amount of wisco people in portland. i moved to california first so i don't count. ;)

btw - the best thing about summerfest is the food. the shit tastes so good because of all the PCBs from lake michigan.

ps. DROP BASS
