If you're not a serious student of power pop or pop-punk, the names Geoff Palmer and Kurt Baker may not instantly ring a bell, but naming some of their past bands might: Palmer (of late a Madison resident) was a member of The Queers as a teenager and went on to form The Connection; Baker was a founder of The Leftovers. Both have extensive discographies over the past couple decades, including plenty of projects together. Whatever they play at this full-band show is sure to be catchy, as will sets by Milwaukeean Daniel James and Madison’s own Rocket Bureau and The Back Issues.
