Turner Hall Covers The Small Market

If you don't mind standing around in what looks like an unfinished basement, Turner Hall is a place to check out touring bands that can't fill the larger theaters, but would be too much for a small club. The good folks at Turner Hall left the space in a semi-unfinished state when renovating the space. Turner Hall is run by the same folks who manage the Pabst Theater and Riverside. If you check out the website, Turner Hall seems to be the stepchild of the group. That's too bad, because it's a nice place to see a band.

A band like Buckwheat Zydeco is the perfect fit for Milwaukee's Turner Hall. He plays there on February 12th. The Drive-By Truckers will take the stage on February 25th.

Explosions in the Sky played the Pabst Theater

I saw the Explosions In The Sky show at the Pabst the other night. I wouldn't have gone, if it were not for friends that badgered me into going. It was a Sunday night, I was tired, you know the drill. Man, I was glad that I went. The show was sublime. They pulled of the luscious riffs that they are known for. Currently, they are travelling the Midwest and East Coast. Catch them if you can. The ticket prices have been reasonable, and the music has been great. The Pabst Theater was a great venue for that show too. I hope that they come back to Milwaukee soon.
