Thanks to everyone that came out and supported The Rosebuds and Megafan last night. Perhaps a little too much fun for a Sunday night? Nah. It was one of those nights that will swirl around my memory bank long into the future. Check out the pictures via MoB photographer Daniel Brielmaier and please leave a comment with your thoughts/review of the show.

MP3: The Rosebuds – “Life Like”

How cool is this? We’re thrilled to be teaming up with 91.7 WMSE to bring two of our absolute favorite bands to Milwaukee. Join us at Club Garibaldi on Sunday, April 5th for an evening with The Rosebuds and Megafaun.

The Rosebuds performed our absolute favorite show of 2007 and came darn close to matching that enthusiasm last week in Austin. Anyone who caught both bands together in Madison late last year know just how great they are together.

Tickets: $10
Buy: Online at Brown Paper Tickets or in person at Rushmor Records.

MP3: The Rosebuds – “Life Like”

Good times at the High Noon Saloon last night. Milwaukee’s own The Celebrated Workingman got things off to a great start. They’re certainly one of my favorite Wisconsin bands right now. Megafaun followed doing what they do best to a crowd that included a lot of friends and familiar faces. Finally, The Rosebuds put on a high energy, dance set that rivaled all the fun and feel of the previous time I saw them. If you’ve yet to pick up any of these groups recent releases, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Last night was also a night of collaboration. First, watch as Megafaun tear through their “Lazy Suicide,” augmented by handing out instruments to the crowd and encouraging a sing-along of The Rosebuds “Get Up Get Out” and “It Don’t Mean Nothing At All.”

Finally, The Rosebuds ended their show within the crowd. Performing an acoustic version of “Nice Fox” with Brad Cook of Megafaun on banjo and also heavy on audience participation. The video below is mostly for listening purposes as the High Noon doesn’t lend itself to much for lighting. Great night.

It’s Friday! Time to celebrate the relatively moderate temperature and easy mobility (bad weather will be here before we know it) with a trip to the High Noon Saloon. You’ve got plenty of time before The Celebrated Workingman kick things off at 9:30. Stick around for the awesomeness of Megafaun and The Rosebuds. A better deal cannot be found for only $12. See you there.

The Rosebuds played our favorite show of 2007 with an unforgettable performance at SXSW. A performance like that will make you a fan for life. It was also the performance that helped land Night of the Furies at #5 on our favorite albums of 2007.

We’re also quite fond of former Wisco residents, The Hood Internet, who now just a couple hours away in Chicago are at the forefront of the mash-up era. Seriously kids, grab their Mixtape Volume 3 if you need any convincing.

Bringing this altogether is The Hood Internet’s mix of T-Pain’s “Cant Believe It” (“Put you in the mansion, somewhere in wiscansin”) and The Rosebuds‘ “Life Like.” Download it here.

The Rosebuds along with MoB favorites Megafaun and The Celebrated Workingman will play the High Noon Saloon on Friday, November 14th. Tickets are a steal at $10.
