Bondy returns to Milwaukee ... with backup
For a lot of Milwaukeeans, the A.A. Bondy awakening took place when the former Verbena frontman performed a solo opening set for Bon Iver last August at The Pabst Theater. Bondy appeared at Club Garibaldi this summer and returns to play a full-band show Tuesday, Nov. 24.

Bon Iver silences the Riverside's full house
Although Justin Vernon joked about the limited band repertoire, tonight's set list included everything from "Creature Fear" and "Skinny Love," off the album, to "Blood Bank" and "Beach Baby," from the EP. The band, overtly conscientious of it being the tour's final show, thanked the audience repeatedly.

A busy autumn continues for Bon Iver
Justin Vernon -- aka "Bon Iver" -- will serve as the honorary chairperson for the 2009 AIDS Walk on Oct. 11. Later that evening, he will perform the final show of a two-year tour at The Riverside. First, however, Vernon will release a new album with a Milwaukee band under the name Volcano Choir on Sept. 22.
