In my previous post I mentioned that Summerfest trimmed off its fat, and a number of Milwaukee cover bands did not get their annual chance to perform. I say that is a good thing. Frankly, it's not a music festival if the majority of local acts are cover bands. That's a glorified church festival.
Too many talented acts that play original music get passed over for the crap-tastic cover artists if you ask me. Yea, they can perform other people's music very well, but c'mon get original.
SonicBids helped to bring talent to the various stages this year.
Meanwhile, if you read the article about how B.B. booked the Marcus Amp. shows this year, you will only get more depressed. He tried to get Coldplay, Radiohead, and other worthy bands. He was proud that he landed Stevie Wonder? Tom Petty actually wants to come here every year, so what great accomplishment is it to land an act that wants to come here?
Give me a break.
