the Milwaukees

OK, so we generally don't play covers (unless we are playing at Bar Majestic), but we do know a Springsteen tune. So here's the question of the day:

Tonight we are playing at the Saint in Asbury Park, NJ. Playing a Springsteen cover would be...

A. Totally awesome! When in Rome dudes.
B. Really fucking corny. Covers are for douche bands.
C. Meaningless to me. I am going to the movies

Answer as a comment...

The Milwaukees—LIVE! Jan. 16—The Saint

The Milwaukee’s straight forward style has raised their visibility ever upward over the last couple of years, using their roots-oriented rock and roll to push them across the stages of just about every club in the tri-state area and beyond.

Featuring the countrified vocals of Dylan St. Clark and melodic guitar work of Jeff Nordstedt, the band is pushed along by the steady handed bass of Donovan Cain and heavy mad beats of Pat Fusco. The band was at the Saint in celebration of Jeff Raspe’s 20 years on the air and they kicked in a fitting set, finishing up a great night that also included Steve Wynn, Willie Nile and Laura Warshauer.

The Milwaukees kept the people in the club with outstanding tunes from their CD, American Anthems, Volumes 1 and 2 (unreleased yet) with songs like “Highway In The Sun,” a song that gleams with Americana gold and features strong choruses ala Train. The country rock twang of “Oak Ridge,” featuring strong hooks and a great chorus ala The Gin Blossoms era, and another cool tune, the Eddie Vedder feel of “Rich And Famous” complete with gritty Lenny Kravitz-vibed guitars and drumming fired right up the Saints middle.

The band is currently looking at an overflow of new stuff for release for American Anthems, Volume 2 and they aren’t adverse to investors. Hell, they’ll even play you’re living room to get this done. So far the group has had some success with their own version of “The Living Room” tour having done shows in Boston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Springfield, and they will tell you flat out that they’ll come play your house. Its all in the name of finishing the record, and to me, it’s a great investment.

Do yourself a favor and also take advantage of their music downloads at the website where you can literally grab the whole American Anthems, Volume 1 for nothing more than the time to click the mouse. milwaukees.com.
