UW-Madison’s annual student radio music festival is loaded with Midwestern music. The Florists are a jittery Minneapolis indie rock trio with fuzzy guitars. Chicago DIY punk band Melkbelly makes noise music catchy, while fellow windy-city dwellers Wei Zhongle (pictured) plays pop inspired by esoteric trance music. Local DJ Boyfrrriend spins tracks with a queer, feminist focus.
