Austin’s What Made Milwaukee Famous began its journey to fame in 2006 when it signed with Barsuk Records (original home of Death Cab For Cutie), which re-released the band’s debut, Trying To Never Catch Up. Fortunately, the hometown boys make good on that promise on the brand-new What Doesn’t Kill Us, adding appropriately sized stadium bravado to its already shimmering indie-pop gems, and crafting a record that may finally garner it the sort of media fawning, soundtrack work, and ringtone money afforded to Barsuk’s most celebrated product. WMMF plays a CD-release show here aided by sets from three Austin bands due for their own breakouts: ice-water dance-rock from The Lemurs, countrified synth-pop from Loxsly, and dreamy harmonies from Black Before Red.

I just added a lengthy entry about Dr. Dog to the blogspot, if you’d like to know more. Hopefully you already know all about WMMF. I caught Dr. Dog opening for The Black Keys a few months ago and enjoyed their set thoroughly.
The music portion of this I-guess-it’s-a-tradition-now kicks off at 3 p.m. with a show from the teen band Super Pal Universe. Stay for sets from Feeding 5000, Army of Freshmen, Black Joe Lewis and the Honey Bears, What Made Milwaukee Famous and Alejandro Escovedo. more at austin360.com
