Since 2002, Milwaukee ska-rockers Something to Do have been the life of the party. The sextet — which has shared the stage with the likes of Less Than Jake, Goldfinger and the English Beat, and cites the Specials and Elvis Costello as influences — has released three full-length albums of infectious, poppy ska-punk goodness. They’ll be joined by Madison’s Proud Parents, a four-piece that deals in lo-fi power pop that recalls Weezer’s halcyon days.
