The Bonnie Prince charms us all at Turner Hall
Will Oldham is one prolific son of a bitch. From a listener's standpoint, he's decidedly difficult to keep up with artistically -- much like a Ryan Adams or a Conor Oberst -- because he his constantly writing and releasing a wealth of music under various incarnations of himself: Will Oldham, Palace Brothers, Palace Music or Bonnie "Prince" Billy.

All of these things combine to make for a memorable evening or, alternately, a bad experience. The editorial staff of OnMilwaukee.com sounds off on its favorite rooms in Milwaukee for listening to -- and seeing -- live music.

Yeasayer's musical journey to Milwaukee
Yeasayer floated onto the scene in 2007 and quickly developed a cult following within the blogosphere. The music is dark, organic and heavily layered. The band marries exotic beats to four-part vocal harmonies that warn of troubled times but remain optimistic anyway. The band pops in to the Turner Hall Ballroom tonight at 8 p.m. for a performance that should not lack in showmanship.

Dance and shout with Yelle
Yelle's energy bursts from an almond-eyed petite girl with a cute bob. She was dressed in a Mondrian-inspired baggy sundress, which was, surprisingly, mostly black and white and only a few chunks of color (some of which glowed in the dark) and her requisite pair of tights ... sparkly.
