After years of tumultuous transition, The Vega Star emerges victorious with its first full length album in tow.
Tonight, The Vega Star promotes its new album "The Night" with a show at Linneman's Riverwest Inn, 1001 E. Locust St. Set to be released in February, receive a card for a free download upon completion of "The Night" at tonight's show.
So, in a sense, this is the long-awaited CD release party.
Only describable as a combination of the Fleet Foxes, Colin Meloy and the Velvet Underground; the band's sound is eerily mellow with sauntering lyrics of impacting depth.
The Vega Star, originally formed in 2002, re-emerged in 2006 with the current line-up of Justin Rolbiecki, Jackson Messner, John Juchemich and Stephen DeLassus.
Jentri Colello and Josh Harty from Madison will open tonight's show.
The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $6 or $10 with a card for the album.

After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
