This article music event Pabst Blue Ribbon Street Festival: The Scarring Party

Perhaps no Milwaukee band has made a more unexpected or unsettling record in recent years than The Scarring Party's 2006 debut, A Concise Introduction. Focusing on zombies and vigilante justice in a barren land on the verge of apocalypse, it's a collection of weird, old American folk songs played with guitars, tuba, and a typewriter, among other instruments. The Scarring Party mines similar territory on 2008's Come Away From The Light, only this time the execution is more polished and the songs aren't quite as off-putting. Somehow, The Scarring Party's  strange formula has made it one of Milwaukee's more popular indie bands. Here it heads up a lineup of local acts for the second annual Pabst Blue Ribbon Street Festival.
