The LEST WE FORGET Milwaukee Music Scene Memorial at Turner Hall on May 26 was a huge success. The sold out show featured a 14 band line up including Die Kreuzen, Tense Experts, 3XCleavers, Sacred Order, 3 On Fire, Rock-A-Dials, Dominoes, The Dummy Club, The Lubricants, St Bernard, Xposed 4Heads, Blackholes, Liv Mueller and a surprise appearance by Von Trash. Plans are in the works to release the show on CD with some possible bonus videos.

HEY YOU. MilwaukeeRockPosters.com has lots of photos, music and POSTERS available for view. I'm glad you like the rare old posters, but STOP POSTING THE POSTERS ON YOUR OR OTHER WEBSITES without permission or credit. I've spent many hours scanning, posting, writing. 'Nuff said, Okay? -- Ron Faiola
Our pal Carter Hunnicutt sent us a slew (yes I said SLEW) of XCleavers posters from his collection. Check out the amazing artwork by Tom Holleran, especially the "Marquee" poster.
Cheap Trick at Humpin' Hanna's with InA Hot Coma, circa 1974 (?). We got this amazing artifact from Martin Miller and Martin Krohne. Krohne recalls the night:
"Our biggest gig was backing up Cheap Trick. At it, Presley Haskel, lead singer, wore skin tight leopard skin pants.
And he liked to jump around a lot onstage.
What Presley didn't realize was that the seam of his pants split just enough to show off more than he had planned.
This lead Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick to thereafter refer to him as
The King of Milwaukee dick rock."
