--> 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!

awesome. go see them immediately.

Yah I grew up in Milwaukee...I got tired of it and moved away, but that kind of happens when you grow up somepalce. I know plenty of people who have moved there since I left and love it. The Art Museum is particularly awesome.

Wisconsin has a burgeoning e-music scene, but it's kinda discorganized. Madison is doing really well in the electropop/EBM/noise area right now, but it's a little segregated from the techno/glitch/laptop/dance scene - which is a shame because there could probably be a lot of really useful overlap there.
