With the fourth of July quickly approaching and the temperature rising, summer has officially hit its stride in Madison. Be sure to get out there and enjoy it while it lasts, because in true Midwestern fashion, the fall isn’t too far away, complete with more concert announcements happening every week!
On Thursday, October 9, British rockers The Kooks roll into the Barrymore Theatre, as part of a North American tour in support of their April release, Konk, which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. The band recently grabbed some headlines for salacious comments made about the VIP section at the Isle of Wright Festival, in addition to Luke Pritchard’s name-dropping Carmen Electra as a boink interest.
Also announced this week: Former Phish bassist Mike Gordon on Wednesday, September 3, at the Majestic Theatre (interviewed recently in the Rolling Stone); Canadian folk group Great Big Sea on Thursday, September 11, at the Majestic; and North Carolinian group Southern Culture on the Skids on Wednesday, October 8, at the High Noon Saloon!
“With a singer (Josh Caterer) who can make the most melancholic, fretting passage seem like a whistling, carefree, Willie Wonka-kissed day..and a band who is gleeful, but not in a churlish-youthful way, Smoking Popes are one of the most deceptively pleasant-sounding bands going.” -Artistdirect.com
