Louis C.K. to shoot next comedy special at the Pabst Theater
Louis C.K. can’t stop throwing love at Milwaukee. First, he added a second show April 18 at the Pabst Theater, and now the Pabst has announced that the comedian will be filming the performances for his third hour-long special, Louis C.K.: Hilarious. Clearly C.K. doesn’t need any help filling seats, but just in case his pointed humor isn’t enough of a draw, anyone on the fence should be wooed by the potential of seeing their own laughing face on the screen when the special is released. C.K., whose observations on parenthood, social issues, and everyday life have earned him both a solid fan base and a host of detractors, tweeted (@cklouis) that the taped Milwaukee shows “will actually come out as a film in theaters,” which means audience members will get to maybe see themselves on the big screen, not just HBO or Showtime.

Just Announced: The National at Pabst Theater
The indie band stops by Milwaukee July 17
by Steven Hyden
Decider Milwaukee
Of all the bands that have gained a measure of fame in the indie rock world this decade, The National seems like the most unlikely, if only because the Brooklyn band makes music that’s subdued, inward-looking, and not immediately striking. But 2007’s Boxer, like Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible and Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, is one of the indie scene’s great consensus records of recent years, with an appeal that goes beyond the band’s initial cult of listeners. Beautifully muted and understated, Boxer drew its intensity from a slow burn, which seems true for The National in general.
With great success comes the potential for backlash, and last year’s arty band documentary A Skin, A Night gave detractors reason to call The National out for pretension. But the biggest challenge this band faces is following up an album as beloved as Boxer; The National reportedly is heading into the studio next month to do just that, with a release date set for late 2009 or early 2010. Before then, the band will perform July 17 at the Pabst Theater, according to its website.
