About German Art Students: "I don't have much to comment about this show except the band the German Art Students, who played before us, were really great. They are from Madison, and sound like a mishmash between the Talking Heads, Jonathan Richman, The Pixies (at times), and some other influences I can't remember at the moment. Definitely enough of a variety where you don't just notice one band influencing them, and I think that's really, really good. Plus, they have really funny song titles - I think one of their songs is about a Civil War Re-enactment. "You drink the whiskey, I'll cut your leg off, You be the Monitor, I'll be the Merrimac." It was just funny enough to be funny. I always think you have to be careful when you're being witty, so you don't end up looking like one of those Intellectual bands." -Rose Marshack (Poster Children) Also playing are the Wrong Ways, whose alt-country-pop is a Madison favorite.
