BORIS THE SPRINKLER
Facebook
Boris The Sprinkler were formed the night of the 1992 ShopKo fireworks in Green Bay. Veterans of numerous local bands (including minor Beer City Records sensations Suburban Mutilation), they opted to forgo most then-popular musical routes — long-stale hardcore, vaguely melodic emo-esque muttering, dull strummy plugged-in acoustic guitar crap — for the then highly-unpopular music they grew up playing: The punk rock of the late 70’s and early 80’s, albeit with a loony thrift-store goofball aesthetic.
To the surprise of no one, the shenanigans of 2020 AD extinguished the band's plans for a string of dates in support of Vespa To Venus. But, newly vaxed, waxed, and with a belly full of grape juice, Boris shall brave the rigors of both I-43 *and* I-94 to bring their Carnival of Spaz back to Milwaukee and Chicago for the first time in almost two decades. Don your cheeseheads and '80s new wave specs and come on out!
P.S. The band enjoys socks, soup, and most polkas.
HOLY SHIT!

MKE punk retch / feat. Official X-Ray Arcade Tech Tony "Toilet" Schwader.
INDONESIAN JUNK
Bandcamp
These glam punk dirtbags from Milwaukee specialize in big ol’ catchy power pop hooks and big riffs. Frequently compared to the sleazy 1970s New York underground, though they’ll gladly accept those charges they are hardly a nostalgia act.
THE MALONES
Bandcamp
Played some NBA Jam and decided to start a band. Midwest Pop Punk outfit from WI.
