TAP THE MASSES AND 88NINE RADIO MILWAUKEE PRESENTS: SEA WOLF [Dangerbird Records] With Special Guest SAVOIR ADORE

BUY TIX

Sea Wolf will be touring in support of their 2012 release Old World Romance and making a stop in Milwaukee in between shows at Sasquatch Music Festival and Bonnaroo.
Alex Brown Church covers a lot of geography in his music. As Sea Wolf, his songs weave vivid imagery and lush orchestration into narratives illuminating the emotional diaspora of life, love, loss and rebirth. Old World Romance finds singer/songwriter Alex Brown Church dealing with major life changes, including the death of a close relative. Geography, relationships and the weight of life – of growing up and facing who you are and where you came from – wind their ways in and out of Church’s sweeping, swooning pop tunes.

SINKANE with special guest PAINTED CAVES, plus DJ's MARCUS DOUCETTE & BUMBAC JOE

Presented by Tap the Masses

$10 BUY TIX

Sinkane is the project of the Sudanese-born musician Ahmed Gallab. Gallab cut his own teeth as a youngster in the punk DIY landscape of middle America, and then found himself touring far and wide as a member of Yeasayer, Caribou, Eleanor Friedberger, Born Ruffians, and Of Montreal. He has emerged from it all as Sinkane, a project that identifies a renaissance within the space and spirit of the outposts of contemporary music. With an aesthetic range seamlessly shifting from soul to rock, and from jazz to pop, Sinkane's vibe is timeless and the sound is now.

GRANDCHILDREN w/ MORTGAGE FREEMAN, MYLES COYNE & THE RUSTY NICKEL BAND

21+

$6

Five years ago, Grandchildren had a very different look - Aleks Martay started with just an acoustic guitar, loop pedal, and microphone. Today, the project is a six-piece orchestral pop band that has toured with Man Man, O'Death, and Seabear. The band's energetic live performances feature dueling drums, captivating electronics, and a plethora of multi-instrumentalists. This show comes on the heels of the May 7th release of Granchildren's sophomore LP, 'Golden Age.'

Joining Grandchildren will be two Milwaukee bands that are known for their own animated live shows. Mortgage Freeman is good, old-fashioned, guitar-driven rock. They're not short on personality by any means - they've been known to stand on pool tables playing the "Family Matters" theme. Myles Coyne & The Rusty Nickel round out this energy-fest, infusing the live intensity of punk bands like the Sex Pistols with a Dylan- and Guthrie-influenced folk and bluegrass sound. Fans of Animals in Human Attire, Temple, DW & Co, and US Male will probably like this band... since they all pretty much have the same lineup.

Don't miss this bill with enough energy to power the city for a week! Check out the links below for more info.

THE FATTY ACIDS and *SECRET SPECIAL GUEST* w/ HOSPITAL SHIPS (Lawrence, KS), MILO, and DJing by WAX ADDICTS

21+

$6

Secrets, secrets are no fun... unless they involve The Fatty Acids. The Milwaukee scramble-pop group bring along some special friends who have a few tricks up their sleeve on Saturday, June 15th. Details will be revealed in the coming weeks, so be sure to join the Facebook event for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/287562571380195/

The already announced guests are special enough in themselves for the meager $6 cover. Lawrence, Kansas' Hospital Ships caught national attention from publications like Pitchfork and Sterogum with their 2011 debut 'Lonely Twin,' making their 6/18 follow-up highly-anticipated. Wisconsin rapsmith Milo has been nominated for Radio Milwaukee awards thanks to his unique alternative rap style. Wax Addicts will keep the party going with spinning between sets.
