Wish you could have been on the video espousing your love/hate of the song? Well, you're in luck (sort of), because we're making Aural Ambush a weekly thing here on DC-9.

Austin-based What Made Milwaukee Famous will perform 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 9, at The Loft with The Whigs and The Dead Trees. $10.
