The Unheard Of Rocks Dundee's Roadhouse

 The Unheard Of

Summer Of Fun tour continues...

The Unheard Of continues their Summer Of Fun tour around southeastern Wisconsin that started at the Rocha's annual Fathers Day parade, picnic, and party celebration and continues now through the rural farm areas in places that have been around since the early trappers and explorers were trading with the local native tribes. These trading posts grew into small towns then became bustling centers of trade as the railroads came in. A lot of cool spirits seem to be watching over the places where they gathered while still among the living, and now in a more ethereal form, that still attracts the vibes of good people having a good time together with family and friends. The old towns had their gambling halls, saloons, and brothels - most of the original buildings are still in use today but the businesses have tamed down quite a bit as farms and families came to make a living so close to nature.

 

I have no doubt that these spirits formed committees between our reality and the unseen unknowable realm where the mind, (psyche) manifests (delich) to bring in The Unheard Of with their wild and untamed style of psychedelic music with it's roots in the garage bands of the 1960s. This is the 40^th birthday for the band The Vox Elder, aka Jim Galaxy, started back in 1984 and has kept going strong. Vox is the only original member and is truly the soul of the band. He's the one that makes it The Unheard Of with their unique style of original and cover music. They also have another album release coming soon so be sure to check back at The Unheard Of Fan Page for details about the release and upcoming shows broadcast live on Facebook.

After blowing up his amp at Candy's Pub in St. Anthony a couple weeks ago another was made ready to keep the show on the road for the Summer Of Fun tour.

Join me, won't you, as I share the experience...

Vox and I pulled into the parking lot at The Dundee Roadhouse in Dundee, WI. We saw the other band members unloading and mingling so we joined in. I had an immediate good feeling about this place with all the Harley Davidson motorcycles and some cool cars filling the area. We had a bit of a look around then settled in with the rest of the group and got on about the task of setting up. It's a big place with a main bar, dance hall, and huge backyard area all filled with the laid back folks that live in the area and followers of the band that came from near and far to enjoy the hot afternoon on the first Sunday of August. The guys have been doing full four hour gigs on their own which I must say that I find, for the most part, to be a much better event.

Things went exceptionally well with all the equipment working right off so we got drinks and food while waiting for the guys to open the show with Lonely Teardrops. I do love that song, but then I love all their music – it just gets my little feet to dancing and my body moving to the music while trying to hold my camera steady and take mental notes for the write-ups. The crowd was fun and friendly with great service provided by Teresa the bartender.

Joe Polizzi was on the scene taking high quality pictures that can be seen on the Of Random Interest page. Dave, the keyboardist, recorded the show and edited it into singles that you can check out on The Unheard Of Fan Page. Both do a great job and provide more of the awesome experience for everyone to join in and share.

Following are some links of interest for more pics, music, and contact info.

Love you all

The Vox Elder Blows Up Amp At Candy's Pub!

The legend of The Vox Elder continues...

Halfway through their third set of The Unheard Of – Live at Candy's Pub in St. Lawrence, Wisconsin, the music was getting so intense that The Vox Elder blew up his amp while doing cover of Heart Full Of Soul. We were all cranked up dancing and screaming like it was an Elvis or Beatles show back in the 60s. Suddenly the lead guitar went quiet. They finished the song then started checking power cords and fuses to get him back online but realized it was the amp itself so they finished the show with Vox's awesome voice less his equally awesome lead riffs and, like true masters of the art, just kept right on playing finishing the show. The next day Ted opened up the amp and found a blown fuse with capacitors knocked down and burned up like a tsunami of psychedelic energy and hurricane force winds of rock music harmony had driven the amplifier beyond it's limits. That's how 60s psychedelic rock is supposed to be done so the legend lives on. I love when they do that song and am still getting the twingles and quivers remembering the awesome event.

In case you missed the show there's another coming on August 4^th starting at 3 PM at Dundee's Roadhouse in Dundee, Wisconsin. If you can't get there we will, as always, have Facebook Live covering the show and of course Dave will provide much better edits of the singles afterwords. I heard The Vox will have a new amp built from WW2 Army surplus bunkers, tanks, the powerhouse from an aircraft carrier, along with other paraphernalia to beat the swords of war to the plowshares of music. Okay, I may have exaggerated that last part just a smidge but a new bigger amp and backup system are actually being prepared for the event.

If you haven't heard yet, The Unheard Of is celebrating their 40^th birthday touring southeastern Wisconsin through the 2024 spring, summer, and fall seasons. Their popularity continues with new vinyl Albums being released, YouTube updates and a following all over Europe, Greece, Great Britain and of course loyal fans all across the United States.

The Unheard Of – Live at Candy's Pub last Sunday – July 14^th, was a lot fun and, to me, the best venue we've been to in my years with the band doing sorta roadie, helper outer, as well as Vox's assistant and official writer upper of the band's history as it continues to unfold – it just keeps getting better all the time!

I want to give extra mention of Candy's Pub since we all had such a fun time dancing, sipping drinks, and eating some delicious food. We definitely recommend a trip there while you're out having summer fun and frolicking. Rev up your motorcycle, car, horse and buggy or whatever you do your summer trippin' and explorin' on or in. Be sure to tell them The Unheard Of sent you.

Hope you enjoy the pics and clips from the show. Please like, comment, and follow this Blog and my Random Reviews to stay posted and in touch as well as sharing on your timelines, feeds, and social media. There is a complete listing and links for all info about The Unheard Of.

Hope to see you at the events. Be sure to say hi, we'd love to meet you.

Peace Love and Rock & Roll always
