The Bottle Rocketrs
Kiki Schueler curated this Sessions at McPike concert, featuring a trio of bands which have all played her house concert series. The Bottle Rockets (pictured) remain one of the Midwest's best bands, combining twang and rock with a sharp-edged but heartfelt lyrical sensibility. The Figgs are another of rock's long-running secret weapons, with a remarkably prolific and consistently excellent discography over the last quarter century; once you see them live, you won't want to miss them next time. Representing Madison are power pop ambassadors BingBong, and Raine Stern (in the tent, during set breaks).
press release: Kiki Schueler from Kiki's Righteous House of Music has been entrusted with this evening's musical lineup. The featured bands are the iconic Bottle Rockets and The multi-genre-proficient Figgs. They will each get 80-minute sets due to The Fairness Doctrine. Fine locals BingBong will open. Of course there will be great food and drink on hand at this free event that will be staffed by an all-volunteer army. WORT- FM will be the non-profit organization du jour and please watch for their raffle ticket sellers and the pop up auction in front of the stage.
