For better or for worse, Milwaukee summer festivals and cover bands go together like brats and beer. Local cover bands like The Love Monkeys, U2Zoo and The Boogie Men draw huge crowds and inspire notoriously motionless Milwaukeeans to get up and dance.
Although a fair share of folks complain about cover bands, they remain a staple of outdoor summer entertainment. Perhaps it’s because cover bands provide a shared experience among the audience, and for some people, it’s easier to connect with music when it’s a song they’ve heard many times before -- especially if it reminds them of a fun, past experience.
