Kraftwerk in Milwaukee

Kraftwerk has only four shows in the U.S. and one of them is at the Rave in Milwaukee. Kraftwerk is famous for Autobahn, the song that goes on forever. Starting in Minneapolis, moving on to Milwaukee, and then on to Denver, before Coachella, the tour itinerary is a mystery. But Kraftwerk is not playing many shows at all here in the states, so one might think that they just like Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Denver. A friend said to me "Imagine all the gigabytes on that stage." I suppose it's mostly electronics that power their sound, but that is certainly nothing new, nor uncommon for any band. Limited tickets were to be found at the box office as of last Friday. I bet it is sold out by now.

Mars Volta

The Mars Volta disk comes out in late January. So far the reviews state that this one is a bit of a departure from their roots. I personally know a Mars Volta fan that worships them. I can take or leave them so far. If they came to Milwaukee, I would suspect that they would play The Rave. They have a following, but I don't think that they have the fans to support a US Cellular arena show.
