Carrellee
Madison artist Carrellee’s moody synth pop continues making waves on the international music scene; it was just announced in March that Carrellee will be playing the iconic industrial fest Cold Waves in September. She is on a short Midwest duo tour (accompanied by Bobby Hussy on synth) matched up with another two-piece, the California-based System Exclusive. The duo of Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones mix synth tracks with stripped-down rock to great effect courtesy of Jones' steady live drums and Blaisdell's postpunk guitar and cooly emotive vocals; they are on tour ahead of the May release of their second album, Click. This banger of a midweek bill is completed by Madison rockers Raddish.
