Liz Phair w/Speedy Ortiz
Turner Hall Ballroom 1040 N 4th St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203
Liz Phair earned instant notoriety with her lauded 1993 debut, Exile in Guyville, one of the great feminist treatises of the alternative nation, and she enjoyed alt-rock stardom in its aftermath. Her subsequent albums have been solid, too, including a misunderstood 2003 self-titled record that flirted with the Top 40 pop songs of that era and attracted some of the most hostile, openly sexist reviews of her career, but Exile remains her masterpiece. This year, Matador Records gave the record a deluxe, 25th-anniversary reissue, and for this tour, Phair will be performing many of its songs for the first time in years.
