Killdozer, Mannequin Men, and The Urinals at High Noon Saloon
Killdozer entered the gloriously abrasive fold of Touch And Go Records in the '80s and said farewell with the 1996 "Fuck You We Quit" tour, but the Madison band's filthy welding of smartassery and badassery still resonates with snide young folk across the Midwest. Not to mention plenty of folks who are older now: Judging by the scene at Killdozer's reunion set in Madison last year, this show will be packed with ornery senior rock scenesters ready to belt along with Killdozer's original lineup—plus guitarist Paul Zagoras, joining the band in Madison only. The evening starts with another dose of finely aged grit courtesy of L.A.'s The Urinals, whose work in the late '70s pushed punk rock in crude but compelling directions that would go on to influence such groups as the Minutemen. In the middle slot is Chicago’s Mannequin Men, whose latest effort, Lose Your Illusion, Too, tightens up an already taut proto-punk-meets-garage-rock sound.
