The Mistreaters, Guilty Pleasures, Catholic Boys, and Static Eyes at Cactus Club
Everything old is new again as The Mistreaters—the primal, hard-stomping, Milwaukee garage-punk institution that once ruled the Cactus Club—reunite for their “final show” in order to commemorate the release of a double LP singles collection on guitarist Kevin Mistreater’s taste-making Dusty Medical record label. A few other long-dead local outfits caught the reunion bug as well, as the impossible-to-Google Guilty Pleasures open to celebrate the release of their own Summer Strange LP, coincidentally also on Dusty Medical. Meanwhile, the sorely missed psych/garage/weirdo freakout of the Catholic Boys reconvenes, just for the hell of it. But why ask why—if it were just The Mistreaters, Cactus would be a madhouse on New Year’s Eve Eve. With all three bands in tow, the venue may need to look at another renovation after closing time.
