Ted Leo And The Pharmacists, Tweak Bird, and Call Me Lightning at Turner Hall Ballroom
Though people invariably peg Ted Leo's songwriting as “literary” and “political” above all, his dense tangles of English only serve to fuel his scorched-earth campaign to rescue pop and punk by way of positive attack. As if to remind everyone of all the desperation and outrage that fuels the lovely hooks, Leo often steps down from his signature falsetto vocals for 2010’s The Brutalist Bricks, which might prove to be his catchiest and most savage release at once. Tonight’s show will find the fiery Leo (along with his Pharmacists) kicking off WMSE’s sprawling Radio Summercamp festival with the help of Tweak Bird and Milwaukee’s very own Call Me Lightning.
