Milwaukee’s IfIHadAHiFi churned out feverish hooks and pile-driving noise in equal measure on Fame by Proxy, the 2008 album they recorded with Faraquet’s Devin Ocampo and Paper Chase’s John Congleton. Later this year the group will release an EP titled Nada Surf, named for the indie-rock band that just so happened to title its latest album If I Had A Hi-Fi, but first they play a 10-year anniversary show tonight at the Cactus Club with peers from the region: the Chicago post-hardcore band Bear Claw; Bloomington, Ind., noise-rockers Waxeater; and the Milwaukee punk trio White Problems.
IfIHadAHiFi w/ Bear Claw, Waxeater and White Problems
Tonight @ The Cactus Club, 10 p.m.
