Uearthing and bringing forth the underground heavy music scene in the Midwest and beyond as a sign of unity and strength for all who are involved or believe in the music.
What is Doomsday?
Doomsday is a heavy music showcase paid for by the bands and it's the bands who receive all the profit from the show. We welcome any heavy acts from the Midwest and beyond. We intend to work to highlight the incredible, yet often overlooked heavy music scene in our area. It's a great chance to swap shows, meet bands from the area and have a great time. We also invite labels, the press, and vendors. In 2005 one of our bands got signed and our top attendance ever was over 750 people!!!
When and where is Doomsday this coming year?
We hold the show on the last Saturday in January 2007 and it will be at:
The Rave/Eagles Club
2401 W. Wisconsin Ave
Milwaukee WI 53233
