Direct Hit!
A smattering of hardcore bands from across the Midwest gather to celebrate Tony Hawk, the professional skateboarder, actor, entrepreneur and extreme sports champion. The headliner is Milwaukee’s Direct Hit! (pictured), which blends thrashing, distorted guitars with cinematic vocals and storytelling. One local band to be sure to catch is Schmoolio, whose emo music feels like it was made during Hawk’s ’80 and ’90s heyday. With Why Not, Coasting, Nectar, Delinquents, Middle Aged Overdose, Mud Dog, Dear Mr. Watterson.
