If you're feeling particularly charitable, there's an option to add some extra money to your ticket price that will also go toward the construction effort. There's also some special edition merch which you can order now and pick up at the show (or have shipped to you) -- check it out!

GIANTS CHAIR
Apple Music | Bandcamp | Facebook | Instagram
A cornerstone of Midwestern post-hardcore, "Red and Clear" was Giants Chair’s stunning 1995 debut — an album that balanced melody and muscle, tension and release, with anthemic precision. Tracked with Mike and A.J. Mogis at Whoopass Studio, its angular guitars and propulsive rhythms became a defining sound of the era. Now remastered by Duane Trower (Weights and Measures Soundlab), this 30th Anniversary Edition sharpens its edges without losing its raw urgency.

KEY OF EVIL
Website | Facebook | Instagram
A mathy / noisy / post rock experience from Milwaukee.

DEVILS TEETH
Apple Music | Bandcamp | Facebook | Instagram
Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, Devils Teeth serve blistering amounts of energetic rock 'n' roll with nods to surf, punk and Italian western.

Qué ad hoc «Cuidado» de Escorbuto para estos tiempos de fachos: «gentes ignorantes que antes nos tenían miedo, cogen confianzas que nunca les dimos, cobardes... Cuidado, os avisamos, somos los mismos que cuando empezamos».
