Monday, Sept. 12, Mickey's Tavern, 10 pm
Judging by Stainless Steel, their April release on Gerard Cosloy's 12XU label, Empty Markets is one of the more aggressive combos Texas has sent northward to Wisconsin in recent years. The power trio includes former Milwaukeean Drew Schmitz on slashing guitar and snotty vocals, and this will likely be one of those shows that tests whether the windows at Mickey's can withstand another amped-up sonic assault. With Fire Retarded, The Smells.
