To me, it’s sometimes baffling the distance many musicians travel just to end up in a basement in the midwest. Not that I’m complaining, really, I’m celebrating! Reveling in the fact that a small college town can functionally and consistently bring in artists from far, to enjoy their works.

This show happening at Milhouse on Monday, September 23rd is a prime example of this sort of trek. Two different tours, two different ends of the Northern American continent coming together. SCREAMING QUEENS are traveling all the way from Vancouver, BC, and KRILL are by contract coming all the way from Boston, MA.

SCREAMING QUEENS a noisy, heavy queer punk outfit. Their sound is driving and mean, but not cliche, and throws back to some old-school experimenters, but with a new flare.

KRILL by contrast are a catchy experimental fuzzed out pop concoction. They’ve got all the hooks but I would not call them predictable. These folks are friends of Speedy Ortiz, veteran performers of the Milhouse basement, and certainly if you enjoy Speedy, you’re guaranteed to dig Krill.
