The Exile Project: 1979
High Noon Saloon 701A E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Treemo
Named for its first show (The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St.), the Exile Project has since taken on albums by the Beach Boys, The Beatles and Cheap Trick (Midwest represent!). This year, the collective of local performers — including Treemo (pictured), German Art Students, Anna Wang, Betsy Ezell, Ellie Erickson and many others — tackles the year that disco, new wave, dinosaur rock and pop fought it out for the airwaves.
press release: This year the Exile Project brings the sounds of 1979 back in full force to Madison. The Exile Project, comprised of multiple Madison bands and musicians, has recreated records by The Stones, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Cheap Trick in the past. In January 2019 they switch gears to bring you some of your favorite songs from one of the most pivotal years of music: 1979. Acts this year include The Fauxtons, The Dirty Shirts, Bent Antenna, The German Art Students, Betsy Ezell and many many more. Expect new takes on songs by Michael Jackson, The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Knack, Tom Petty, and others-- the song well runs deep. So put on your finest disco platform shoes or punk rock trash bags and join us in raising funds for The Literacy Network-- let's party like it's 1979!
