WMSE & Riot Fest Presents Screeching Weasel with The Queers

Screeching Weasel returns for their first Milwaukee show since they played The Globe East in 2000.

Special guests The Queers open the show.

Conceived and birthed in the homogenous suburbs of Chicago, Screeching Weasel have been at it for almost forty years.

Formed in 1986 by lead singer/songwriter Benjamin Foster—who soon took the nom de plume Ben Weasel—Screeching Weasel’s first, self-titled album earned airplay on John Peel’s radio show, a glowing review in NME, and a 10/10 in Sounds. 1988’s BoogadaBoogadaBoogada, released on a small bedroom label out of Chicago, immediately went into heavy rotation on every turntable in the punk universe. It remains the band’s best-selling album and a staple of the punk diet.
