German Art Students 20th Anniversary
With Proud Parents, Pamphleteers, The Coolhand Band.
High Noon Saloon 701A E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703

Born 20 years ago when the founders wanted to write songs “no one would want to hear,” German Art Students are at once funny and subversive. The group is also in roaring fine shape, thanks in large part to the return of original bassist Andrew Larson. This birthday party coincides with the re-release of their first album, What Did You Expect? Heartland Rock, which includes such GAS classics as “Shitty Directions” and the Mad Magazine-esque “Civil War Re-enactor.” They are giving us a gift at their own party by packing the show with heavy hitters of the underground, including ‘90s Madison-to-Austin, Texas, rockers The Coolhand Band, which is reuniting to mark their own 25th anniversary year. Pamphleteers includes more ‘90s Madison ex-pats from bands such as The Returnables and Rhoda (and the much-missed Chicago popsters, The Dials). Proud Parents is a garage-pop supergroup in their own right, featuring members familiar from The Hussy, Fire Heads and Disembodied Monks.
