Gig roundup: The Sounds preview new CD at Rave By Bobby Tanzilo - May 4, 2009 5:17 a.m. Every now and again a record strikes a chord with those of us in the editorial office here and we rock it all day long until we could sing it forward and backward. One such CD was "Dying to Say This to You," the 2006 effort by Sweden's The Sounds.

Someday, when people talk about Marquette's senior class of 2009, the only stat that will matter is 92: the number of games McNeal, James, Wes Matthews and Dwight Burke combined to win in their four years on Wisconsin Ave. ... |

Morrissey knows the formula for fan adulation By Bobby Tanzilo - April 4, 2009 9:11 a.m. It seemed like a bad sign that in the weeks before Morrissey's fourth solo appearance in Milwaukee, Friday night at the Eagles Ballroom, the city was awash in free tickets.

Mozzer's fans only more rabid 23 years later By Bobby Tanzilo - April 3, 2009 8:05 a.m. While I know and appreciate that Morrissey has made some great solo records, I remain much more a fan of The Smiths than of the Mozzer himself. That said, I'm still going to see old Stevie tonight when he returns to The Rave. In the 23 years since his "Beatlemania"-style Milwaukee debut, it's likely his fans have become more and more devoted. ... |
