The Candliers w/ John The Savage
The Cactus Club - 10 PM
Two of Milwaukee's most novel new indie-rock bands share a 10 p.m. bill at
the Cactus Club tonight. The Candliers take inspiration from old
folk, country and ragtime-era swing‹basically any music that you can play
with a banjo. After performing their cheer songs for audiences at just about
every notable club in the city, they finally put out their first release
this fall, a 7-inch split with The Trusty Knife. Openers John The
Savage, a Bay View band that wondrously emerged in time for this
summer's Bay View Bash, kicks up a lot of drunken racket with accordions, a
trumpet and, occasionally, a megaphone.
