I Shenelle Coplien asked a buddy of mine from London the other day what the first thing was that came to his mind when I say Milwaukee, and he replied with a British slur, “Dahmer!” The notorious cannibalistic killings are often the most suggested portraits of this city. Occasionally someone will slip in the roots of Miller & Pabst, considering we have been voted the drunkest city in US many of times. But when it comes to music, none of my out-of-town friends can name a single Milwaukee-based band. Our music scene here is just like your city, plenty of awesome bands and plenty of shitty ones as well. Of course, some of our greatest we have exported to the rest of America, such as The Violent Femmes and The Promise Ring, but our next greatest export is The Goodnight Loving.
I got the chance to sit down with Zach Byrne and Andy Kavanaugh in the back end of a local, South Milwaukee venue. This folk-pop group doesn’t have any intentions to dismember you, but they sure wouldn’t mind slamming a beer or two with you.
