Guerilla Ghost
Cactus Club 2496 S. Wentworth Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53207
In the spirit of classic Definitive Jux releases, the Milwaukee industrial-rap duo Guerilla Ghost plays nervy, political hip-hop that’s completely unbeholden to genre conventions. On their new album, Perpetually Sad Motion Machine, the duo dials up the anger, assailing fascism, a broken health care system, patriarchy and rape culture (the latter on a furious track featuring Lindsay DeGroot of the Milwaukee punk group Fox Face). The record also features appearances from Lorde Fredd33 and Carnage the Executioner. For this Black Friday release show (we’re guessing the timing is a coincidence, given the band’s anti-consumerist leanings), Guerilla Ghost will be supported by Devils Teeth, Taiyamo Denku, Taj Raiden, Nicholas Elert and the Dope Folks DJs.
