Fever!!

I just bought White China, a new album by Milwaukee’s own Fever Marlene. The album was recorded in the Chelsea Hotel in New York during a four night stay. It’s more
stripped down then their last album, but really shows well written songs and their ability to try new things. As I know the band does everything themselves that they can and have no interest in being signed to a major label to be told how to sound. It seems that there are so many bands out there that just want to be the next big thing, but don’t take the time and effort
to find their sound and feel. If there were no big labels to constantly try and shape bands a certain way we would have a lot more fresh ideas and local flavor. It’s pleasing to see a band that can be successful and do it all themselves, but I guess that takes a lot more talent and drive then what most bands have. Fever Marlene’s playing at Turner Hall tonight if anyone’s interested.
