  • City Pages Nate Patrin writes for City Pages on Amsterdam

    If you run across one of those aging, bitter punk bros moping about how indie rock's all pudding-soft, go right ahead and mock him for not paying enough attention. Noisy retro-proto-punk is still a thing, as it has been since the first zipper-booted dirtbags with bangs in their eyes and the Stones in their sights emerged from the primordial garage. Milwaukee's Jaill are one of the subtler types...

  • City Pages Andrea Swensson writes for City Pages on Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant

    There's something inherently mysterious about the Pines' dusky, timeless folk music—the way it sinks into the listener's bones like a deep winter chill, the way it only improves with time and age like a bottle of wine forgotten in the cellar for 50 years and then unearthed and uncorked. Even more mysterious is the process of watching the music emanate from the players' mouths and hands...

  • City Pages Rick Mason writes for City Pages on Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant

    It might be said that the riskiest thing about the sleek jazz quartet Fourplay is the name. Sure, there's a nod-and-a wink aspect, but "fourplay" more accurately indicates the true, interactive nature of founders Bob James on keyboards, Harvey Mason on percussion, and bassist Nathan East. The relative newcomer is guitarist Chuck Loeb, who in 2010 replaced Larry Carlton, who had taken over for...

  • christopherlewis1111 christopherlewis1111 wrote a review for Carol's

    02/10/13

    I have eaten breakfast, lunch and diner at Carol's Restaurant and have never been dissatisfied yet! The meatloaf is reminiscent of mom's home cooking and the desserts are pure perfection! The menu is extensive and the prices won't send you to the poor house. It is large and spacious and the staff are very accommodating and tentative.

  • yahiness11 yahiness11 wrote a review for Wild Onion

    11/08/12

    The Wild Onion is the worst example of a "Birthday House" that I have ever seen. They are clearly a racist business, and I never play the race card. EVERY SINGLE TIME I go there, there is some kind of issue. It can range a "dress code" violation, to someone drinking their Birthday
    drink too fast. They ALWAYS find a reason to create a problem with...
