Washington Ave (in the same building as The High Noon.)

In addition, Rearick's band The There Was A Mans is back in action after several months of practicing, adjusting to threesomeness ("we like it!"), learning new material- and getting a new name and look! A brief review: "[The There Was A Mans]... played a fantastic set of avant-garde pop driven by a keyboard, a drum machine and Rearick's clear, strong voice. ... It's a sound that's hard to pin down, but if pressed, I'd call it a space-age cabaret cacophony." - Capital TimesRead all about it!
New video from a June 2007 solo concert at Milwaukee's Shank Hall:
