"Nick Whetro and Karl Christenson's songwriting and ever-changing arrangements find a perfect medium between totally out there and totally familiar sounding, something that’s normally impossible to pull off at a live show."
-Scott Gordon and Bob Marshall, Madison AV Club
Note: Flatbear has recently changed their name to Flight.
"Jentri Colello recently started billing herself and her band as Flatbear, presenting the music as more of a group effort than just a good local singer-songwriter with backing musicians. Colello's songs and glum, elegant, holding-something-back vocal style are the heart of Flatbear's first full-length album, Flying Days, but her bandmates resourcefully craft a distinctive sound. For the most part, Flatbear's good at making do with the basics, crafting an eerie, dynamic environment for Colello's lyrics with subdued electric guitars, piano, and restless rhythm section on "Sea Of Monsters" and "Jetskis." But Flying Days also tries out some more elaborate arrangements, bringing in strings on the aforementioned "Jetskis" and layering "Flying Days" with a clatter of horns and clarinet."
-Madsion AV Club

The Maze, Into Arcadia, and Bethany
04/10/2010 10:00 AM
The formation of Into Arcadia is an unlikely one. The story begins with singer Otto Ohlsson leaving his native England with only a guitar and a suitcase to America's west coast in search of new musical horizons. From San Francisco to Los Angeles to New York, he eventually met guitarist Kenny Buesing in the blue collar, midwestern city of Milwaukee. There, with bassist Wes Falk, they soon recorded and released their debut E.P. "Maps For Children".
Channeling diverse musical backgrounds into a cohesive force, Into Arcadia feels as fragile as it is intense. Though something of an anomaly in Milwaukee's gritty rock scene, Into Arcadia has been embraced by their hometown and make a fine addition to its burgeoning musical landscape.
Heavily informed by personal experiences in each members lives, Maps For Children delves into tales of loss and redemption. The album is contemplative, and its live performance by Into Arcadia is is a high energy affair where nothing is held back.
The Maze is the collective name for the many faces of Rob Hansen, Jaben Funk, Trevor Irish, Michael Tietjan, and Matt Ihnan. Anchored by Hansen's poetic lyrics of love and loss, The Maze doesn't follow genre boundaries. Utilizing a variety of instruments from saws to electric guitars to ukeleles to random pieces of percussion, The Maze thrives on exploring the uncharted waters of experimental folk rock.
Formerly part of a duo with her sister called Hopscotch Wonder, Bethany Lindemann is now branching out and starting a solo carreer.

With their infectious blend of rock, grunge & blues, The Delta Routine is quickly becoming one of Milwaukee’s favorite groups. High octane rock ‘n roll inspired by classic rock greats like the Rolling Stones is the meat of a musical endeavor called “Donna,” the first full length album by The Delta Routine produced by Mike Hoffmann.
Embracing the raw elements of guitar driven rock of new and old, singer/songwriter and guitarist Nick Amadeus creates memorable hooks and quirky riffs all while paying homage to the old days of rock ‘n roll. A strong local following paired with a powerful new album has The Delta Routine on a road to bigger and better things. Hold on tight.

One of the over-arching themes of the music of CLOVIS MANN is evolution. Dan Plourde, formerly of Run Side Down, brings his intuitive complexity to the band as he takes over the bass duties. Having been a friend of the Mann for years, Dan is locked in with Ethan Noordyk's persuasive percussion to create a formidable foundation. D.P. knows when to float in the pocket, but he is not afraid to add some fury to the mix. Vince Faris, keyboard maestro for funk machine Nuggernaut, is another fresh addition to the fracas. Vince cajoles, tickles, and wrenches notes and tones kicking and screaming from his arsenal of keyed instruments. The bubbly organ sounds add a vintage, smoky patina that elevates the band's overall intensity. Ethan still continues to wow audiences with his dexterity, ferocious chops, and impeccable taste. Having played over a thousand live shows, he knows how to work a crowd into a frenzy with his bombast and Bonham-like solos. Top it off with Daniel Walkner's soulful riffs, graceful bends, and slippery slides on lead, bottleneck, and lap-steel guitar and you have a rock solid recipe for greasy groove gumbo. The CLOVIS MANN live experience has always been an intense musical commitment. The swirling styles and fire-breathing vocals continue to bend genres and explore new musical territories. Come check out a live show, or pick up one of our albums. Join the Evolution…
