In addition to hosting early shows by future stars like The Lumineers and Macklemore, it also served as one of the few places local bands could get booked downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Isaac de Broux-Slone, vocalist and guitarist for local power-pop act Disq, looks back fondly on The Frequency as a place for young bands to cut their teeth. Disq is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madisonfrequency.com\/event\/1674080-floods-madison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scheduled to play there<\/a> again May 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so glad to have had a place that was able to help so many young bands develop and get themselves out there,\u201d he says. \u201cI know The Frequency was a really major part in the development of my band, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s been the same for so many others around Madison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosalind Greiert, frontwoman of Heavy Looks, echoes the sentiment. She says The Frequency was one of the first venues they played after moving here in 2013. \u201cWe were still pretty fresh with our songs and it was an exhilarating experience to play them for a real crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/host.madison.com\/wsj\/business\/madison-music-venue-the-frequency-to-close-after-years\/article_e92a90b6-8ac2-557c-824b-31386d78ecfa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking with the <em>Wisconsin State Journal<\/em><\/a>, Frequency co-owner Darwin Sampson left the door open for a possible return for the venue, albeit either on the city\u2019s north or east sides, where much of Madison\u2019s artistic community seems to have migrated.<\/p>\n<p>One of that community\u2019s most visible members expresses hope. While Bobby Hussy \u2014 leader of The Hussy and Cave Curse, and a member of Fire Heads and probably a million other bands I\u2019m forgetting \u2014 is \u201csad to see another independent venue lost in our town,\u201d he remains positive about the scene\u2019s ability to adapt and survive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope someone can step up and fill the void. Mickey\u2019s (Tavern) and Crystal (Corner) can\u2019t do it alone,\u201d he says. \u201cI think we need another 150-250 person room with good sound and cheap drinks for the underground scene to thrive. Here\u2019s hoping for that in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Frequency will go out in style with a two-night celebration on June 8 and 9 that includes music from favorites like Cribshitter and Cheer Accident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really an end of an era for the Madison music community,\u201d says Greiert, \u201cbut we are so incredibly grateful to have had The Frequency for as long as we did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the end of a loud and sweaty era.
