The first installment of SoundTown Music Festival in Somerset, WI, had a lot riding on the shoulders of 2,500 attendees. The new management of the former Float-Rite Park Amphitheater tried to revamp the arena's image after years of Ozzfest-induced damage to the grounds and its reputation in the town of Somerset. And what better way to do it than to bring in beloved local bands with a Flaming Lips cherry on top? Granted, it's not quite the same when a 40,000-person amphitheater is about five percent full, but who notices when you're in the front row reaching for [...]

Though these guys are virtually unheard of, they were actually formally established in the spring of 2009. The Arms Akimbo , formed by members Nick Schaser and Ian Schaser and Chris Dillon knew each other a decade beforehand and played together throughout the Twin Cities, as The Serfs. After the group disbanded in 2005, bassist and singer Nick moved to the UK, playing in London-based Brit pop band, Jack Maggs. After three years of living out of a [...]

GOOD WEEK , SUNSHINE: Monday Mail. What is Monday Mail? Patrick from Vitriol says: The band draws its influences from both the British indie scene of the past few decades as well as present-day American indie groups. Their sound oscillates from The Jam and Elvis Costello to The Strokes and The Libertines, with a handful of stops in-between. This sound, mixed with their mutual proclivity for Motown, gives The Arms Akimbo a melodic edginess that harkens back to a long musical [...]
