RIP Soul Low w/Whips & Amanda Huff (all-ages, 3pm), R.I.P. Soul Low w/Taj & Sundial Mottos (ages 21+, 9pm)
Cactus Club 2496 S. Wentworth Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53207
$10 show // $15 (for both). It wasn’t too much of a surprise when the popular Milwaukee indie-rock quartet Soul Low announced they were breaking up in September. Most of the band members had moved away from Milwaukee, making it difficult for them to carry on. Still, the band will cast a long shadow. Their 2013 debut UNEASY was one of the most perfect debut indie albums to come out of the city in decades, “a weird, jittery, lovable record that captured the heightened anxieties of youth just about as well as any record since the first Violent Femmes LP,” as we once wrote. And each of their follow-up EPs and albums has had a fascinating character all its own, including last year’s swan song Cheer Up, a ceaselessly catchy portrait of depression. Fans will have two final chances to say goodbye with two farewell shows at Cactus Club: an all-ages one with Whips and Amanda Huff at 3 p.m. and a 9 p.m. late show with Sundial Mottos and Taj Raiden.
