This week's OnMilwaukee.com / WMSE Local Music Podcast sends you to all ends of the city -- and even up to Sheboygan -- to see some local bands do they what do best.

Friday night, Oct. 12, starts you out in Cudahy with a rare but exciting appearance by The Invaders at Vnuk's. The Milwaukee ska band shares the stage with Deals Gone Bad, a Chicago ska import. The Invaders made the cut for the last WMSE compliation CD, and Brent and I play the infectious "Invader Ska."

Milwaukee man Mike Mangione has a great new record out called "Tenebrae" and he's getting a fair amount of attention for it lately. You can watch him on Channel 4's "The Morning Blend" on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m. and then catch him live at Linneman's Riverwest Inn on Saturday, Oct. 13. Don't miss OMC's interview with him in the music section on Saturday, as well.

Up for a fall drive? The John Michael Kohler Arts Center is celebrating its 40th anniversary in Sheboygan this weekend, and they've asked Paul Cebar and the Milwaukeeans -- among several other bands -- to help ring in the bash. The band goes on at 9 p.m. as part of a five-hour 1960s themed festival. It'll set you back $19, or $16 if you're a member of the Arts Center. Check out jmkac.org for all the fun little details.
