    Angel-Starz

    Milwaukee · Shank Hall, 1434 N Farwell Ave

The night includes classics such as Tower, Can You Feel It, Don’t Leave Me Lonely, Rock N Rollers, Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore, and more. Known for all-white attire and a dazzling blend of glam, hard, and progressive rock, the band became one of the more colorful arena acts of the mid 70s and early 80s. Discovered by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, Angel released its self-titled debut in 1975, leaning closer to prog rock before moving toward the glam-inflected sound of later albums like On Earth as It Is in Heaven and White Hot, which delivered the Top 40 single I Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore, followed by Sinful. The two most recent studio albums, Risen and Once Upon a Time, charted on multiple Billboard charts and reached number 1 in CD and vinyl sales on Amazon, with both landing in Goldmine Magazine’s top five albums of the year and highlighting the songs Tell Me Why and The Torch in the magazine’s top three songs. The lineup also features Starz, an American hard rock and power pop band from New Jersey with a lasting cult following that has been cited as a major influence by major bands.

    Delicate Steve

    Milwaukee · Shank Hall, 1434 N Farwell Ave

    Shank Hall hosts Delicate Steve in Milwaukee, spotlighting the inventive guitar voice of Steve Marion. Known for work with Amen Dunes, Paul Simon, and Deradoorian, the L.A.-via-New Jersey musician builds bright, wordless melodies by trusting instinct in the studio. His album Luke’s Garage pays tribute to collaborator Luke Temple and captures a playful, anything-goes spirit, where rough sketches can blossom into hooks that feel instantly familiar. The music drifts from shadowy synth-pop to candlelit soul, then from chugging garage rock to slinky disco, while his airy yet tactile tone and unshowy precision keep everything clear and direct. He recorded the entire album himself on guitars, drums, keys, and bass, lending it a homespun spark and an atmosphere of discovery that echoes the freewheeling charm of early McCartney. Special guest Yellow Ostrich, a Minneapolis indie rock band led by Alex Schaaf with Mickey Mahoney and Joey Hays, brings songs from Trying (2025), a 14-track release shaped with Minneapolis collaborators that traces themes of growth, self-doubt, and the steady work of becoming.

    Free Dog Microchip Clinic-End of the Leash Hales Corners

    Hales Corners · End of the Leash, 5430 S 108th St, Hales Corners, wi, 5436 S 108th St

    Free

    A free microchip clinic at End of the Leash provides dogs with a lifetime-registered chip courtesy of Billy's Posse. Arrivals are assisted in the order they check in. Microchipping offers permanent identification that cannot be lost or removed, increases the likelihood of reunion if a pet goes missing, helps deter theft by linking ownership to you, and keeps your contact details in a secure database rather than on a visible tag. The injection is quick, similar to a routine vaccination, and does not require anesthesia, which brings added peace of mind. This clinic is limited to personal pets, not breeders, rescues, or litters. Owners will be asked to hold their dog firmly around the body and head for a few seconds during the injection, with a volunteer available to assist. Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old and current on age-appropriate vaccinations, and every dog must have a rabies vaccination. Only dogs that can remain well behaved should wait in line. If a dog is reactive around people or other dogs, check in without the dog to be placed in line and you will receive a text when it is your turn. You are responsible for muzzling and holding a reactive dog, and microchipping can be completed in your car if that works better. For the safety and comfort of shoppers, pets, volunteers, and staff in and around the store, service may be declined for any dog that poses a risk or causes excessive disruption. This is a public store, and other shoppers may bring pets such as cats in strollers or carriers, or even reptiles or birds, so maintain control of your dog at all times. If you need to secure your dog in the car, your place in line will be saved so you can bring your pup in when it is time.

    Mequon · Let's Celebrate, LLC, 11122-A N. Cedarburg Road

    The Wedding Lab is a six-part, hands-on series for couples who want to plan with intention and create a celebration that feels like them. Developed by Truly Yours Wedding in collaboration with Let’s Celebrate, it blends practical tools with creative exploration so every decision supports a day that reflects your priorities. This installment centers on Plan. Couples build a personalized planning system tailored to their own wedding, transforming a simple binder into a working hub that brings timelines, budgets, vendor contacts, payment tracking, guest information, design inspiration, day-of outlines, key questions, items to handle later, and a catchall for ideas and reminders into one organized place. Along the way, participants learn what deserves attention now, what can wait, and how to keep wedding thoughts from taking over everyday life. The Creative Lab adds a hands-on twist. Personalize the planner with tabs, pockets, labels, envelopes, and other decorative elements while creating spaces for inspiration, fabric swatches, notes, keepsakes, vendor details, and all the little pieces that tend to accumulate. Make it polished, make it colorful, make it wonderfully eclectic... most importantly, make it your own. Attendees leave with the start of a system they understand and have already begun to use, with planning guidance by Truly Yours Wedding and a creative experience hosted in collaboration with Let’s Celebrate. Future workshops in the series explore imagining the vision, prioritizing what matters, connecting the guest experience, choosing the right partners, and bringing the design to life.

    Connecting with your Ancestors- at our new location

    Explore meaningful connections with those who came before you in a guided class led by Terri Blair. Whether you are curious about a great-grandparent or seeking insight into a family mystery, the session is designed for all experience levels and does not require any psychic background. It begins with a brief meditation, then participants share who they hope to reach and why. Terri offers examples from her own family research and provides straightforward instruction in intuitive techniques, focusing on psychometry and automatic writing. Attendees then spend dedicated time using the method that feels right for them, such as studying a photograph or keepsake, practicing automatic writing, noticing intuitive impressions, or, if they have the ability, working with mediumship. Notes are encouraged. The group later compares experiences, and when possible artifacts or photos may be passed around so others can offer impressions. Please bring a notebook, a pen, and a photo or object connected to your ancestor. Digital images are welcome, and a meaningful connection is still possible without a physical item present. The cost is $30, and enrollment is limited to ten people to ensure time for sharing. Payment is required to confirm a spot.

Terri Blair is an author, artist, amateur genealogist, and business owner with more than four decades of training in psychic studies, including work with the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment and other experienced teachers.
