The Current is partnering with Radio Milwaukee and Manitoba Music to present the annual Midwest Music Exchange. The exchange will include performances across the three regions by Manitoba’s Silence Kit, Milwaukee’s Zed Kenzo, and Minnesota’s own Lady Lark (above). As they prepare to take the stage at Icehouse this coming Wednesday, April 10, here’s a brief look at the artists and their stories.

Also, tune in to The Current at 6 p.m. CST every night this week as Mark Wheat highlights music from all three cities.

Pavement - "Silence Kit" From the album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (February 14, 1994)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Love "Hit the Plane Down" but overall, this album is consistently overrated to me.

WR228: Silence Kit

We're always suckers for '90s nostalgia here at Witchpolice Radio, so Winnipeg's Silence Kit -- with their resurrected grunge sound -- were an obvious choice as guests. The band is releasing its excellent debut album, Started As A Whisper, this Friday at The Handsome Daughter. They talked about their origins in two separate projects that joined forces, their high-energy stage shows and a lot more... plus hear an exclusive live acoustic performance and get an advance listen to some tracks from the new record!

in part 4 of my fic silence kit Our Long-Suffering Boy is hired as a yeti wrangler supporting a team of magical archeologists excavating the wreck of the HMS terror... one of john franklin’s two ships lost in the arctic in 1848. 

i wanted to write about the terror because (as of the time of writing silence kit) its wreck had not yet been found (the erebus, the expedition flagship, was found in the canadian arctic in 2014). this whole story has been one of my historical obsessions since i read this amazing new york times magazine article in march. 

a very exciting thing happened last week and was reported today - which is that parks canada FOUND the terror in perfect condition - 60 miles from where they thought it would be - which throws a big chunk of the imagined narrative of What Happened into question

this is so exciting - and more proof that history is not fixed. and more proof that a lot of what white people perceive as unknowns or mysteries are simply within the knowledge of people we don’t listen to, in this case, indigenous people
