“The Gaslight Anthem has always been hard; with Get Hurt, the New Jersey-based rock ‘n’ roll band get heavy. Since coming together in 2007, the band has joyfully injected aspects of rock’s most universal languages – arena rock and barroom blues, folk and pure pop – into punk’s round hole, ultimately forging its own powerful, populist sound.”

The Gaslight Anthem visits Milwaukee for a show at the Pabst Theater on Thursday, March 12th. Tune into WMSE on Wednesday, March 11th to listen to an interview with the band’s drummer, Benny Horowitz before that Milwaukee date.

Stream or tune in live at 7pm — WMSE.org or 91.7 FM on your radio dial.

Present Music: Equinox: Light And Dark
Tickets
Mar 20 @ 8:00 pm – 11:45 pm

eqinox (1)WMSE supports, Present Music’s Equinox: Light And Dark.
Last season’s Equinox was “aglow with promise” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), contrasting light and dark, death and life, and this year is no different as Present Music presents Equinox: light and dark, March 20, 2016. Performing the brooding, atmospheric Night Scenes from the Ospedale by Robert Honstein (written as part of the Vivaldi Project, the goal of which was to weave early and new music together seamlessly) will make an intriguing contrast to Vivaldi’s sunny L’Estro Armonico. Judd Greenstein’s Clearing, Dawn and Dance (“…an epically high flying work reminiscent of Glass’s dance and cinema pieces while never abandoning Greenstein’s own signature palette of sounds” – wqxr), Andrew Norman’s Music in Circles (a “5 minute static electricity storm” – Pitchfork) and music by Ligeti and Gubaidulina will connect as we cross the divide from winter to spring.
(Program subject to change. This concert is not intended for children under 10.)
