Wow, so I totally forgot to write a post for last Friday, so this post is a little late. But better late then never, right? So here goes.
This week's band is What Made Milwaukee Famous, a band that takes it's name from a Jerry Lee Lewis song. These guys are one of the reasons I love indie music; What Made Milwaukee Famous is not a very well known band, but they play some awesome music. And on top of that they have some crazy music videos. Like this one with a "special guest":
On top of that these guys are so cool they even played a song on a bus.
What Made Milwaukee Famous has lots of guitar and keyboard, but Michael Kingcaid's vocals (with harmonies from the rest of the band members) are what complete their sound. So far What Made Milwaukee Famous have only released two full lengths and an EP of acoustic versions of a few songs, all played in one take, off of their two albums. Hopefully we will see a new album from them soon.
Currently, What Made Milwaukee Famous is signed with Barsuk Records, one of my favorite indie recording labels and also the former label of Death Cab for Cutie.
