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 40th 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.

Love you all
