Dial The Wild
Midwest Mania: Wrestling, Music & Community
A brewing revolution hits Galesburg, IL as six bands unite for an extraordinary night of music, community, and yes—wrestling. Discover how a simple Facebook post evolved into "Midwest Mania," a multi-genre showcase happening April 19th at Reserve Artisan Ales.
What happens when musicians who've known each other for decades finally share one stage? Magic. The Stone Doves kick things off with their youthful take on classic rock, followed by Flabber Gaster's distinctive funk-core sounds. Liberty Street brings emotional hardcore with a decade of chemistry, while SoColossal delivers high-energy hip-hop reggae fusion. The People Next Door adds psychedelic jam rock, and A Sight Beyond closes with their self-described "doomy psychedelic stoner sludgy alternative metal."
Beyond the music lies something special—a genuine neighborhood of artists supporting each other rather than competing. "It's strength in numbers," one musician explains, highlighting how this collaborative spirit enables original music to thrive in smaller communities. These aren't just bands; they're friends who've watched each other grow, sometimes playing in multiple projects, stepping in when others need help, and celebrating their collective musical journey.
Reserve Artisan Ales offers the perfect backdrop with its craft beer selection, food options from their kitchen and Shaw Daddies food truck, and unique spaces allowing WrestleMania to play between sets on projector screens. Some performers might even channel their inner WWE superstars with wrestling-inspired attire.
Mark your calendar for this all-ages event starting at 5:30pm (doors at 5pm). Free admission with donations encouraged. Whether you come for the diverse musical lineup, the craft beer, the wrestling atmosphere, or the powerful sense of community—Midwest Mania promises an unforgettable night showcasing the vibrant, interconnected music scene that continues to thrive in the heart of Illinois.

Speaker 4:My band check this out I may have known those guys at one time, yeah well, like 10 years ago I played with you guys, like at the show. Yeah, last year, but we're a beautiful thing about improv is like you don't have to know anything when you come in and play but we've actually uh been writing some music lately instead of just doing completely improv sets.
Speaker 2:So this is going to be a new kind of Liberty street.
Speaker 1:I mean it's kind of the some of the stuff that you've seen before but me and Mark wrote most of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they wrote all the lyrics.

Speaker 1:Shout out to Mark Me and Mark putting in work at like 7 o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Mark you don't wake up that early, you're a liar.
Speaker 1:He doesn't. I've never heard you guys. I'm really excited to hear Liberty.
Speaker 2:Street. But yeah, so we are an improv metalcore band with a little bit of spoken word and a little bit of like emotional hardcore kind of sound. We are a three piece and we've been jamming together for over a decade and it's kind of just the same spiel but ramped up.
Speaker 4:Lots of chuggas and discords.
Speaker 6:Emphasis on the emotional.
Speaker 2:A lot of screams, you gotta like batten down your hat.
Speaker 3:when you guys play, you gotta tie yourself onto a rail or something.
Speaker 2:There might be a couple fish flying, but it'll be fine. Stay out of the singer's way.
Speaker 3:You guys are going before us. I'm not that dangerous, you just talk to me after the show.
Speaker 1:It's not during the show.

Speaker 7:We are like a hip-hop reggae uh, cody has added this edm element to it, but, uh, pretty much we started out as like a ukulele, just little jam band, uh, during covid, and then we just been packing on the pieces that we needed to make what it is, what it is now, which is, uh, I mean, it's just, it's evolved a lot and it's it's so much fun and it's high energy and basically we're just there to perform for people. Um, I, I could, I could care less about the money or any of that stuff. It's all about just pure entertainment going crazy on stage and getting that energy from everybody else in the community and bringing everyone together for the music, and it's something I've been loving my whole entire life and I'm so happy to have got this group together to make this happen. And it's going to be a nasty, nasty show and the fact that it's here at the reserve. This is like my favorite venue in the whole entire town and it's the yeah, it's, it's the greatest thing ever.

Speaker 3:Yeah, the neighborhood is growing. Jump on. We got hot soup on.
Speaker 7:I guess I'm moving to Galesburg the beautiful part about it is like a lot of the times you know that you book like one and I'm not saying anything against cover bands because that is a career, they have their place Absolutely.
Speaker 7:There's a career for those people out there. But a lot of the times when you're out there and you're writing original music, you have to team up with other people to give three to four hours of entertainment, and that's just the way it is. So it's really cool that we have this eclectic group of people. Look a show. We come with three yeah, and then we can all be friends. We are already friends we're friends first.
Speaker 4:I love your friends and I. I absolutely love covering stuff like this because if I'm doing one of my shows, I got like three or four bands I gotta go out, I gotta talk to, I gotta know all the details about it. Like here, I can just sit back and you guys can brag about your show.
Speaker 3:It's a non-gated community man not gated.
Speaker 5:We cover creed songs and he john john pc.
Speaker 1:That was so colossal they do, they do a very good job at Creed.
Speaker 3:That does not represent us, you stop now. Someone's singing Creed. I'm done.
Speaker 7:Sorry guys.

Speaker 2:You're almost playing in more bands than you have tattoos.
Speaker 6:Almost almost yeah. If if only yeah. When they lost their bass player, one of us jumped in.
Speaker 4:It was me yeah, but more john pc tough. It's like the island of misfit toys, but with bands kind of yeah dude, do you need a bass player? Here we go do you need a drummer. Here we go other bands and stuff too, so yeah, you come in there so you come to galesburg, you got a whole bunch of guitar players and a whole bunch of vocalists. It's like we'll just yeah, that's not that's what makes you marketable, bro? And I like tacos and you love tacos. You speak my love language by it.
Speaker 5:That's a terrible idea too, are kind of hard to come by.
Speaker 3:We had all that gold you guys got that good backup vocalist.
Speaker 6:You guys got that great backup vocalist. Every band that.
Speaker 5:I've been in, it's always been hard to find a singer for some reason.
Speaker 3:I'm a singer.
Speaker 5:I got a funny story about that. Usually singers start the bands.
Speaker 4:You usually got an issue with singers. You have guys that can sing and it's like come on, man, and they don't want to do it. Or you got guys that think they can sing and they can't. You literally have to kick them in the chest to keep them when I embarrass both these guys, they're like a rap. You want my mixtape, yeah you want the mixtape yeah.
Speaker 6:No, you gotta have a good singer. You can't, that's not negotiable. Youable, you can, yeah. You could spoil a cake With a crappy icing. Every band we have.
Speaker 4:I believe has a good singer, so that's a good. That's a good thing, especially Liberty Street. John's a good singer. That guy's John's a good singer.
Speaker 6:He's emotional.
Speaker 4:He screams. He's a good screamer, emotional screamer.
Speaker 6:Scared me. Alright, guys An embarrassing story.
Speaker 2:So, when we were at 2B's and everything talking about singing.
Speaker 6:This is a funny one. John hadn't found his voice yet. Dixon was trying to sing too, and they thought, when you heard the waves, they're like. They're like, yeah, we're in tune.
Speaker 5:But, no.
Speaker 3:That means you're not in tune, or dad. Yeah, my dad recorded us on many days.
Speaker 7:Wait, he got when you're recording, you hear everything, that's.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 7:All the imperfections and yeah, I mean you got to learn when you're a kid, that's what makes it. That's what makes it, so it's like you. My dad made us do it single too, like professional. But you know what we were like 12, 13, 14 years old, you know. So I was glad that we had the opportunity to hear ourselves then, so that it would be the staple of what we need to not do, moving forward.
Speaker 6:At that point in time the laser of the radio station was being ran out of my basement, so like DJs were just showing up and going down to the basement that we were recording, in Legitimately.
