Saturday night, High Dive will play host to a bill featuring both Sin Bad and Bad Wig. Punny coincidences like this weekend’s “Sin Bad Wig” show aren’t entirely unheard of in Milwaukee music. Bo Triplex occasionally collaborates with Airo Kwil for “Bo & Airo” performances. Next month, Cactus Club will have a show with two bands with the word “moon” and two with a variation of the word “rat” incorporated.
You might be wondering why you should give a shit. Beats us! But figuring shows like “Sin Bad Wig” don’t come around every day, we cunning linguists at Milwaukee Record thought we’d use our affinity for wordplay to embark on a local music-themed pun run.
