Milwaukee Rock Posters - Posters, Videos, Photos, Punks and Music.

LEST WE FORGET. The recent passing of Richard LaValliere (Oil Tasters, Haskels) was a sudden shock and so sad, especially combined with the January death of Larry Kennedy and Terry Tanger (XCleavers, King Solomon) last summer.

A memorial/reunion party to remember all the departed musicians, photographers, scene makers is scheduled for Saturday, May 26, 2012 at Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee. The line up includes Die Kreuzen, Tense Experts, 3XCleavers and 10 more bands. Tickets and info are available here.

Also visit the Facebook Lest We Forget Group Page.

March and April MRP RADIO SHOWS by Paul Host and Tim Noble have been added, featuring 3 on Fire, The Mistreaters, Pee Wee King, The Tense Experts, The RPM's, Acetones and many many more (70 hours of music!).

Also take a trip down memory lane with some of our rare videos featuring Drivin' N Cryin', Helena Handbasket, Liquid Pink and Appliances SFB!

Burnt Hickory Brewery made a batch of Die Kreuzen October File Fest Beer (scroll down to Oct. 13 post). While it's not for sale and only given out to the band members, Keith Brammer said it was pretty good stuff.

A big thanks and hearty handclasp to Uncle Larry for these amazing posters from 2009.

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.

We received the very sad news that musician and Flipville record shop owner Geoff Worman died on Friday, April 30. Geoff was a member of several bands including The Ghostly Trio. His record/collectibles shop Flipville on Farwell Ave. was a treasure trove of music and pop culture items. He will be sadly missed; our thoughts go out to his family.

We've added some new posters here and there HOWEVER, there is STILL a ton of posters, photos, videos, music to post. If anyone would like to volunteer their help in scanning, posting and updating the web site, please contact me.

In the meantime:

Legendary drummer, artist and all around bon vivant GUY HOFFMAN has sent MRP more original Oil Tasters poster art plus a new Oil Tasters photo from 1981 Check it out!

PLUS! We have posted the Haskels 1978 Press Kit sent in by Mort'd Hump. Priceless!

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."
