FEATURE: True Skool Continues its Mission of Empowerment Through Hip-Hop, Art and a Good Party

I catch up with True Skool, Inc. co-founder Sarah Dollhausen-Patterson to find out more about their bi-annual block party, happening tomorrow, Saturday July 20th. True Skool does a lot of amazing work supporting creative kids in our community, so it only follows that we should support them at events like this, but that makes it sound like a burden; it's more like a blowout.

CONCERT REVIEW: The B-52s (BMO Harris Pavilion/Summerfest Grounds, Milwaukee)

Summerfest 2012 ends on a high note with a performance from the legendary B-52s. Saw some good stuff this time around, but as usual I'm kind of relieved the Big Gig is over with for another year and life in Milwaukee can get back to normal (or at least its usual level of weird). 

CONCERT REVIEW: Summerfest Final Weekend (Summerfest Grounds, Milwaukee)

AV Club Milwaukee coverage of the final Friday and Saturday of Summerfest, including my reviews of Atmosphere, Paul Oakenfold, The Invaders and the Gabriel Sanchez Prince Experience.

CONCERT REVIEW: The Roots (Miller Lite Oasis/Summerfest Grounds, Milwaukee)

Though I've always been a fan, I've passed up the opportunity to see The Roots on several occasions, usually under the assumption that the hard-touring crew would be back in town before too long. I'm glad I finally checked them out, but sadly, this show was hardly the best representation of their considerable skills.   


CONCERT REVIEW: Summerfest Day 3-5 (The Summerfest Grounds, Milwaukee)

Coverage of days three through five of Summerfest, "the World's Largest Music Festival", from the AV Club Milwaukee, including my take on Morris Day and the Time, Jimmy Cliff, The Hives and Robyn.
