Semi-Twang w/ The Subcontinentals

Semi-Twang was one of Milwaukee’s great hopes in the ’80s, when Warner Brothers Records signed the acclaimed alt-country band then released its 1988 album, Salty Tears. That album wasn’t the commercial blockbuster many in the local scene had hoped, and the group soon moved on to new endeavors, but not before playing a local show that would be among its most memorable: Inaugurating the then-new concert venue Shank Hall on its opening weekend 20 years ago. To celebrate Shank Hall’s anniversary, Semi-Twang has reunited for a rare reunion show at the venue, on a bill they’ll split with singer John Sieger’s western-swing band, The Subcontinentals.
