On Sunday night, Chow.com, Webshots and Consumating had a party at the Mohawk. It was unbelievably crowded (and intensified by the fact that it was thunderstorming, and so the outdoor sections weren’t being used) but the bands that I saw play there were awesome. One of those bands were The Lemurs, and Jesse and I talked to them a little bit after their set about being an unsigned band and how the Internet has made it possible for them to promote themselves.

The other band that I saw was called What Made Milwaukee Famous, and they were phenomenal. I’ve seen so many good bands since I’ve been here, I don’t even know where to start! Yesterday I hung out with Kurt Woolf from Download.com, and we were to a few different venues on 6th Street. We saw a band called Office (I saw James Iha in the crowd and I totally freaked out), and then we went to go see The Silos play down the street.

Later, I met up with Cameron, Tantek, Ryan K. and Sarah, and we headed over to Zona Rosa for another show. The Pipettes were playing when we got there, and I think we all fell in love with them a little. Go check out their site, and you’ll see why. Then as we were getting a drink, I heard that The Rapture were playing next, who I love! That was a nice surprise.

OK, gotta head back downtown. More later.
