Need motivation to get through another dreaded week at your soul-sucking job? There\u2019s no shortage of cool stuff to do in Madison… it\u2019s just figuring out which cool stuff best suits you. Here\u2019s what Madison is doing this week.<\/span>\n

Bad Religion<\/h2>\n

Monday, July 1, The Sylvee (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite their status as godfathers of California punk, Bad Religion\u2019s roots are sorta Wisconsin. Frontman Greg Graffin was born in Madison<\/a> and spent time in Racine and Milwaukee<\/a> before moving to the Golden State. Now, Dr. Graffin (he has a doctorate from Cornell in history of science) and his Bad Religion bandmates are true icons. Their leftist melodic punk helped to inspire an entire generation of bands to form and countless punks to pick up a dictionary and look up what the hell \u201cjurisprudence<\/a>\u201d means. With the punked-up heartland rock of Dave Hause & The Mermaid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
