This twin-bill of surf-influenced volume dealers is hosted by Madison’s own masked action combo, Knuckel Drager, one of the few bands where it actually makes sense when two drummers and two bass players join the wall of guitars on stage. Their opponent is kabuki-masked Daikaiju (pictured), whose intense live show inspires equally intense devotion from the group’s fanbase. Too big to be contained within the Wisco’s walls, this show will be played outside if the weather cooperates.
