Louie & The Flashbombs kick off Thursdays at Biersal Tavern, improvised music at Woodland Pattern and Sugar Maple, Rebirth Brass Band, an MLK Day Celebration and more—This Week in Milwaukee Music!
Thursday, January 16
Louie & The Flashbombs @ Biersal Tavern (5520 W. Vliet St.), 7 p.m.
Louie & The Flashbombs kick off a monthly residency at Biersal Tavern (formerly Wonder Bar). The band’s acoustic show, think of it as a shiny new skin, will be the first performance since their second album Bang was released on vinyl. L&FBs continue to write chapters in the second or third act (who is counting?) of a veteran band that continues to come up with vital, hook-laden songs from real life experiences.
The show also inaugurates Biersal’s live music Thursdays.
