IfIHadAHiFi, Bear Claw, Waxeater, and White Problems at Cactus Club
Spawned from Wisconsin's Fox Valley when Bill Clinton was still in the White House, IfIHadAHiFi has gone on to become a high-volume, high-risk Milwaukee institution. Self-inflicted broken bones, chipped teeth, and flaming appendages have been the noise-rock pranksters' hallmarks since the heady days of Y2K, not to mention hooky, dance-infused music. A recent sci-fi-themed video for the excellent "Black Holes Resonate (In B-Flat), Baby" betrays the group's unabashedly geeky sense of humor, a tendency that goes a long way in tempering its raucous, sometimes-physical live performances. IfIHadAHiFi celebrates its 10-year anniversary with this show, where its palindrome-addled members will undoubtedly make a strong case for health care reform by once again putting themselves in harm's way.
