Open Your Grievous Heart Review

Greg Locke of Ze Catalist has posted a review of Open Your Grievous Heart

Drew Allegre traveled for a few days with Chris Darby and Longsleeves around Illinois and Wisconsin and kept a photo journal of their travels and their shows. You can see a lot of great shots of the performances and the time spent in between at his gallery on Fahrenheit128.

Margaret Stutt) and Milwaukee hip-hop producer LMNtylst (a.k.a. Brandon Birchbauer).

“Pezzettino made instant fans of us when we first heard her debut a few years ago. She stayed on our radar by bringing us baked goodies and by blogging for us from the road. And, of course, by continuing to make some of the freshest, most vibrant music to emerge from Milwaukee in recent years.”  - from OnMilwaukee.com
