You never get the same Ian Bagg show twice, but they\u2019re all extraordinarily funny.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ian Bagg \u2022 Jon Lovitz Presents \u2022 Part 5 | LOLflix\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bn-pM3r_PHQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>The People Brothers Band<\/h3>\n<p><em>Tuesday, Dec. 31, Majestic Theatre (<a href=\"https:\/\/majesticmadison.com\/event\/nye-the-people-brothers-band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dance away 2019\u2019s anxieties with one of the year\u2019s biggest parties. Madison\u2019s beloved funk outfit The People Brothers Band will be in the house to put asses on the dancefloor. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E55t0lnp_8M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to be fairrr<\/a>, those asses will probably already be on the dancefloor courtesy of an impressive array of local funkers. <strong>Porky\u2019s Groove Machine<\/strong>, <strong>Frogleg<\/strong> and <strong>Feed the Dog<\/strong> will also be on hand.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>Mama Digdown\u2019s Brass Band<\/h3>\n<p><em>Tuesday, Dec. 31, High Noon Saloon (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.high-noon.com\/event\/10009985\/a-funky-new-year-s-eve-celebration-with-mama-digdown-s-brass-band\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Funkiness appears to be the theme for New Year\u2019s Eve, and that\u2019s more than OK by me. Madison-based and New Orleans-inspired outfit Mama Digdown\u2019s Brass Band will send out 2019 in a hail of trumpets and infectious grooves. And they won\u2019t be doing it alone: <strong>The Handphibians <\/strong>will provide a little carnivale-flavored support.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>Rod Tuffcurls &amp; The Bench Press<\/h3>\n<p><em>Tuesday, Dec. 31, The Sylvee (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesylvee.com\/events\/rod-tuffcurls-the-bench-press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Every Rod Tuffcurls show is a rager, so it\u2019s fitting they were tapped for The Sylvee\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve party. The Chicago-based cover band will offer their usual mix of everything from Taylor Swift to <em>Hamilton<\/em>, with support coming from Madison\u2019s retro funk and soul tribute <strong>Don\u2019t Mess With Cupid<\/strong>.

The Madison jam band fuses a ton of genres together \u2014 from prog rock to reggae to jazz fusion \u2014 making them one of the most eclectic groups in town. It\u2019s like having a dozen different bands in one.

Groove metal act <strong>Whisky Pig<\/strong> promises a show that\u2019s loud, booze-soaked, and perfect for banging your head until you get whiplash. Fans of Every Time I Die and Guns N\u2019 Roses should start stretching their necks out now.
