Lead Me Not in Beaver Dam
It’s a sin for being original in Oshkosh. This town’s become a pothole of creativity for many local bands, hard-working folks trying to get their music out. And getting an audience isn’t always the easiest thing.
That’s why Lead Me Not is breaking away from their homegrown roots in Oshkosh to play in new surroundings, different crowds, and a new bar. But the music is going to be the same. Loud and energetic. Works for these guys every time. They'll have Horns High Productions to back them up this time.
The four-member band plays at Hogs on 112 Rowell Street in Beaver Dam. They’ll be storming the metal-fest with dangerous guitars and soul-searching voices. Nailwounds and When Red Falls Silent join the front-lines of the frantic surge on Saturday January 14. The show costs $3 for cover and starts at 10 p.m. for the late-night crowds. Must be 21 or older.
The electric storm lashes through guitars as steely chords bleed with their music, static pulses pouring with a deafening roar. This is the Oshkosh’s Lead Me Not playing. They’re going to give Beaver Dam a try.
“There are a lot of metal bands in the Oshkosh area,” lead guitarist T.J. Stark says. “But most people will not book a metal band here.”
In a recent phone call Lead Me Not drummer Skrogg tells me Beaver Dam’s gained a rep for being a metal town. His band will fit in nicely. If you like music that’ll make your ears sing with blood, this is the band for you. If not, beware of voracious tidal waves of music pouring from their onslaught.
Lead Me Not's more than just a band. They’re a group of talented musicians. Stark plays guitar as if he owns the skies. His riffs often match Jake Martin’s vocals. The lead singer gives an abrasive, yet melodic sound, which seems to drive stakes into walls with his powerful voice. His words linger in your thoughts after the show is finished.
They’re the core of the band: both longest-serving members from Manitowoc. They also write their own music. Songs like “These Useless Hands” and “Listen” dig into the raw, emotional vibes of humanity and often leaves you numbed with their heartaches. Yet the adrenaline rush pounds into their music, switching into a poetic fragrance, shows their versatility. They’re still writing new music. Creativity's never a dead-end.
The bassist Burc discover many times that it’s a great outlet to play in front of a crowd. His playing helps lay the groundwork for the music.
Lead Me Not went through a lot of drummers. They finally hit the jackpot finding Skrogg in Oshkosh. He’s essentially the glue that holds the band together. He tightens the beat, dropkicks the music into hyperdrive.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Skrogg said. “I knew these guys for a while. I knew the lead singer for a long time.”
If Beaver Dam’s too far for you to go, Lead Me Not will be in town again on January 21 at The Reptile Palace on 141 High Ave. in Oshkosh. This is by far Oshkosh’s best place for the metal scene. A paradise for many original bands. The music of Lead Me Not will grab you by the throat and show no mercy. The sway of their music will purge your soul of idle tendencies and make you rock on. Lead Me Not's army is ever growing.
