Latest Flame Releases Fu*kFace CD Miramar Show 7/10/10

Latest Flame Records has just released the long lost Fu*kFace recordings. Their mini-tour is scheduled for July. Fu*kFace surfaced in the Milwaukee music scene back in 1991. As the years went on, they acquired members of Die Kreuzen, Boy Dirt Car, The Crusties, and more. This eight member band had a very unique way of providing sounds.

Step one: Put three drummers in the band
Step two: Take away all the snare drums and cymbals
Step three: Add a metal "percussionist" who plays scrap iron, aluminum, and steel
Step four: Play music that is dark, so heavy that it makes the room shake, and so out there that some just don't want to try to understand it.
Step five: Do not compromise by changing the name as the band gains popularity
Step six: Go out in flames after five years and bury the master recordings of an album in a vault
Step seven: Wait fifteen years, get Latest Flame Records to release the recordings, call all the members back together (not easy, as they live in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Cape Cod, and Wisconsin)
Step eight: Hope that the band gets along, play the shows, and have a good time

Fu*ckface plays with ifihadahifi at the Miramar on July 10. See you there?

Mobfest comes to Miramar theater

November 8th, the Miramar Theater will host MObfest. This one day event gives artists a chance to put themselves in front of industry heavyweights. There will be a paned discussion, and a select group of bands will get to perform in front of these reps. The "winner" will win some studio time.

Milwaukee Rock bands, and others will try to schmooze the record reps at a time when the industry is basically collapsing. They still need grain for the grist mill, so go on down and try your best to impress the important people.

Miramar Theater Milwaukee

I like the Miramar Theater for Rock shows. The management is great at Miramar. They have a variety of music ranging from rock and roll to rap. Last year, they hosted a low level wrestling match. The Miramar Theater is located around restaurants and my favorite record store Atomic Records. Check it out sometime.
