Episode #049: Where the 80‘s Punk Rock Left Off - Alternative Radio with Payton Stark

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST

Episode 49

Alternative Radio - Where the 80's Punk Rock Left Off

 

I talk with Payton about his beginnings, Alternative Radio, and his campaign: I Can Start A Band Too.

BIO:

In 2019 The band met at art school and began by playing campus shows at pop-up art galleries. This Milwaukee punk rock "n" roll band takes off where the local scene left in the '80s. Taking a cue from bands like Oil Tasters, Couch Flambeau, Violent Femmes, Plasticland, Yipes! and The Haskels, they continue Milwaukee's great history of local music. Stark's dad was a part of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin scene as well playing in the 80's new wave band Among Thorns. Alternative Radio looks back at the past to look to the future and returns to the primitive rock and roll of the '70s and early '80s. The band has started to go somewhere, as we got our first radio airplay, and have had record companies reach out to us now. 

Personal: 
After 4 years at an art school in Chicago, I moved back to Milwaukee full-time and was determined to get my band off the ground now that I had more time. My dad was in a few bands and had friends that played in iconic local bands, and he constantly told me about the Milwaukee scene in the '80s. I was disheartened when I came back to Milwaukee and saw that the scene was nowhere near the stories I heard from my dad. The general public wasn't really interested in local music, and bands didn't have the backing of local radio and publications to the degree they need. Being dissatisfied with the local scene, and knowing its history and how Iggy Pop and Jimmy Hendrix used to frequent Milwaukee's local clubs and scene I wanted to change that. I knew my band would never thrive if it didn't have an environment to thrive in. I started "I CAN START A BAND TOO", and decided I would bring back the local scene even if I had to do it single handily. I set up a website and did interviews with local musicians from the 80's such as Pat McCurdy of The Yipes!, and John Boler, of Bon Ton Society who actually is a great friend of my fathers' and frequently, is over at the house. I wanted to tap into their knowledge and hear from their mouths what they did to create success in the past in our city. I also started an online zine for the local scene that updates people weekly on what is going on locally. One cool thing that was started was digital compilations on Spotify of local bands. I hope to do different volumes of both of these as time passes and bring awareness to some things I personally find interesting in the scene. Right now the campaign focuses on rock "n" roll because the genre lends itself to D.I.Y. better than some others. I also don't want to throw hip hop, metal, and punk all on a compilation because then songs will get skipped, and that doesn't do a band's algorithm any use. Although I'm choosing to focus on the genre I know and feel I can lend myself the best to, I hope others rise to the occasion and do the same for the other music types. I love music and hope that I can pave a way for other groups who want to create something for themselves. Although I run the campaign by myself several others have been behind it and are excited to help grow the scene as a group.

Friday Music Showcase #018: 7000apart

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST

Friday Music Showcase #18

7000apart

-------------------------------

7000apart is the husband-and-wife duo of Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin. Their story began when Amelie left her hometown of Stockholm, Sweden to attend high school as an exchange student in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was there where she met Jon and they fell in love. When she returned to Sweden, the couple started 7000apart as their creative project together named after the 7,000 kilometer distance between them. They spent three years like this before reuniting and getting married, and 7000apart became a serious artistic endeavor. They released their debut record “We Are More” in 2019, which now has over 100,000 streams and features on over 1,300 playlists on Spotify alone.

7000apart’s music transcends the relationship between Jon & Amelie. One of the cornerstones of their writing is mental health awareness, and their lyrics often touch on personal struggles and finding strength through dark times. They want to create music that resonates with others & helps them to feel a little less alone. The couple worked with Grammy-winning Nashville producer FEMKE on their latest single “Nothing to Worry About.” The song is their reminder to us all that no matter how hopeless the world seems right now, we can still find joy in whatever moment we’re in.

 The Periodicals

Described by The Isthmus as “Your favorite new local band”, Madison favorites The Periodicals inventive, soulful, snappy, and sometimes searching sound doesn’t easily fit in to any one category, reflecting the musical times and places this (male and female, black and white) six-piece has been along the way – London, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Bangor [WI].

The Periodicals features Heather Vandermeer on vocals and Alida LaCosse on keyboards, along with Eric Wermedal on drums, Steve Rosenblum on bass, Geoff Blake-Horst on lead guitar, and John Wedge on vocals and rhythm guitar.  Upcoming live shows will see the band showcase the additional talents of the Library of Congress horn section.

The result was a new initiative called #iVoted in which over 150 venues in 37 states let fans in on election night 2018, who showed a selfie from outside of their polling place. The movement pivoted in 2020 due to the pandemic and created the largest digital concert in history, which took place on election night 2020. Over 450 artists participated in #iVoted Festival 2020, all booked per the data of the top streaming artists in key swing states whose margins are often decided by the size of a concert venue. Artists including Billie Eilish, Trey Anastasio of Phish, Playboi Carti, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Maggie Rogers, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Living Colour, Young the Giant and countless more have participated in #iVoted Festival.

Friday Music Showcase #016: Beethoven meets Led Zeppelin - Sit Kitty Sit

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST

Friday Music Showcase #016

Sit Kitty Sit

 

During the pandemic, hard rock duo Sit Kitty Sit relocated from San Francisco to the Fox Valley, built their own recording studio and promptly started recording new music. It was the first time they recorded everything outside of a full-production studio, something they’d dreamed of doing for years.

The result is Good Riddance, their first new single to be released in three years.

For more than ten years fans have loved witnessing the real-life mashup Sit Kitty Sit choreographs during its live performances and digital recordings — the dramatic, expressive stylings of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff with the lyrical vulnerability of Led Zeppelin and RUSH.
