What Made Milwaukee Famous

Justin Ripley

Aqueduct.

Friday, April 20, at the Jackpot Music Hall.

After waltzing gloriously onto the scene at 2005's South By Southwest festival, What Made Milwaukee Famous snagged a record deal and promptly rereleased its 2004 debut, Trying to Never Catch Up.

Dashing off a genteel, affected pop vibe — something the quartet manages without sounding too stylized — WMMF fuses pleasantly melancholy heart-on-sleeve lyrics with Michael Kingcaid's warm, George-Harrison-like voice.

“Selling Yourself Short” by What Made Milwaukee Famous
