The Midwest Beat and The Perennials at Circle-A Cafe
Wisconsin vintage-pop enthusiasts The Midwest Beat stretched the meaning of “retro” last year, tracking an album inside Madison’s historic (and acoustically immaculate) Gates Of Heaven synagogue. At The Gates expands on the jangles, harmonies, and perky tempos that first endeared the band to local music geeks, but also channels the damn-near-innocent heart of ’60s soul singles, and at times gets a lot more psychedelic. “Color Radio” uses the Gates’ space to capture some trippy layers of vocal harmonies behind a feisty rhythm section.
