The Dim Suns

I photographed Milwaukee band The Dim Suns at Bay View’s Club Garibaldi the weekend before Christmas. These guys have all been in major Milwaukee bands over the last decade or so. Franz Buccholtz, the drummer, is a multi-talented musician who also moonlights as half of the ambient duo Signaldrift, which has a new album on the way this spring. Club Garibaldi was a great spot for a show. Their stage is in a room of its own, and there’s lots of space for the crowd to sit or stand. There’s also a working disco ball, a smoke machine, and bright lights. I’d never been there before, and I was impressed. (With the music, too!)
