“Milwaukee-based quartet Space Raft — a staple in the city’s indie scene alongside garage poptimists Jaill — serves up lightweight guitar rock in the melodic vein of early 2000s post-punk revivalists like the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. Dusted with weird little synthesizer distortions Kenny Rogers might be proud of, “Mountain” (the second listen off of the group’s sophomore LP, Rubicon) roughs up the edges of their power-pop with just enough psychedelic edge. Singer Jordan Davis’ double-tracked croons and his guitar’s pleasantly layered crunch, plus jovial arpeggios from T Jay Christenson’s keyboards, beam rays of warmth into the ears of listeners in frigid flyover county.”

Help Space Raft celebrate the release of its new Dusty Medical Records LP, Rubicon, by joining us on Tuesday, April 19th at 6pm for another installment of WMSE’s dynamic ‘Local/Live at Club Garibaldi’s’ series, featuring Milwaukee’s Space Raft.

This special night of local music and a live radio segment  at Club Garibaldi’s (2501 S. Superior) is free and open to the 21+ public to listen to and participate in. WMSE Music Director Erin Wolf and co-host Cal Roach, will lead Space Raft through questions in between their live sets and you can get in on the interview, too; the audience will be active participants, allowed to pick the our guests’ brains by writing out their questions for Cal and Erin to ask, live on the radio.

Doors are at 5:30pm, segment starts at 6pm and runs until 7pm. If you can’t join us for the live segment and show at Club Garibaldi, please tune in, per usual, to 91.7 FM (or stream online at WMSE.org) at the 6 o’clock hour.
