Event Details
On June 5, Wisconsin votes to recall governor Scott Walker, so, with a diverse bill of Milwaukee bands, we both celebrate and emphasize the process which may reverse the political direction our state has taken.

IFIHADAHIFI
"Milwaukee’s premiere noise-rock outfit, IfIHadAHiFi, released an “old-fashioned working-class protest song” called “Imperial Walker.” The group has revealed a short behind-the-scenes video documenting the song’s creation at Howl Street Recordings.

In the video, IfIHadAHiFi drummer (and A.V. Club Milwaukee contributor) D.J. Hostettler describes the song as an “anti-Scott Walker protest anthem for the 21st century.” Viewers are treated to a few seconds of the track, some winking Star Wars references (“Open for business / everything must go / now we’re Rebel soldiers marching in the snow”), and at least one gratuitous crotch shot."

LOGIC & RAZE
“We admit it: We blew it when we slept on one of 2011’s biggest and best local albums, Logic & Raze’s "Still Untitled." The collaboration between the two MCs is a winning collection of wiry and nimble hip-hop, and should have easily taken a slot on our list of 15 best Milwaukee albums of the year.
