Powered by Louie Lucchesi’s unmistakable voice, Louie & The Flashbombs perform original songs co-authored by Lucchesi and veteran Milwaukee songwriter Mike Benign. The Flashbombs’ songs blend Lucchesi’s love of 1970s New York City rock with Benign’s knack for hooky alternative pop.

Rounding out The Flahsbombs are a Who’s Who of Milwaukee musicians: drummer Bo Conlon (BoDeans, Pat McCurdy, Crime Family), bass Paul Biemann (Blue in The Face, The Mike Benign Compulsion, Arms & Legs & Feet), guitarist Al Hildenbrand (Pet Engine, Britpop) and keyboardist Matt Meixner (Mea Jima, Milwaukee Underground Duo).

Lucchesi began his career performing at notorious New York City nightclubs like Tramps, CBGB’s and The Bitter End. He returned to Milwaukee and fronted bands that included Crime Family, Brother Louie and Klaus Nomi’s Homies.

Kitty Soft Paw – a 5-piece rock band that adds a creative punk twist to soulful originals and covers.

Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm, $10
