515 Crew

A few Iowa bands on it, someone should drive!

Direct Hit! is from Milwaukee and they fucking rule.

I wish it was 2005 and I was going to Milwaukee Fest again.

Most of these bands are really boring. Midwest needs better bands.

Most of my favorite bands are Midwest. But yeah, these bands aren't some of them.

jjjsXe wrote:Most of these bands are really boring. Midwest needs better bands.

That's your opinion, I happen to like most of them.

I think it is a lot of people's opinion. I am not saying that they are bad by any means, it is just most of the ones I have seen live, or heard are pretty boring. We need exciting fun bands. I reflect on the show that happened at the info shop a few years ago, that was a fun exciting line up. We need more bands like that, bands who know how to have fun and get people really excited about being at a show.

I am not trying to strike up an argument here, I just haven't been THAT excited about local/ish music for a little bit and it makes me sad.

ugh, dawg, you just need to get down with the midwest hardstylez

To each their own, I have fun when I see the bands mentioned. Sucks it doesn't do it for you as well.
