Borderlands plays music like its name implies, crossing genres and blending styles, mixing a bit of blues with a bit of folk, some country with some rock, old time traditional music with the latest radio sounds. Kurt Griesemer, Carl Rozas, Craig Jewell and Jim Turk bring four different ideas of what makes music good to make great music.

News and Events

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Recently the Madison radio station Triple M (WMMM) decided to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of U2's The Joshua Tree album with some of the musicians and bands from the area. We recorded I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For in their studio. The songs will air over the weekend of February 27-March 1. Until then, you can catch a glimpse of us at the three minute mark on this video. Triple M tells us that our track will be on this page shortly, so look for that, too. In the meantime, we have an alternate take of the song on our mp3 page. It was our first time in the Triple M studio, and they clearly liked what they heard from us. After we finished recording, they asked us to play some of our own stuff, which of course we did. They were all recorded, and may get some air time soon. If you hear us on your radio, drop us a line and let us know!

St Patrick's Day (Updated)

Forget anything you heard about a Madison St Patricks Day show this year. Due to a couple of scheduling conflicts and last minute changes, Borderlands is jamming at one of the top Irish pubs in Milwaukee this St. Patrick's Day, Paddy's Pub!

When: March 17th, 2009, 7:30-11ish PM
Where: 2339 N. Murray Avenue (One block north of North Avenue)
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(414) 223-3496

 

Needless to say, we're extremely excited to be performing in Milwaukee this year, and we're looking forward to creating new and lasting friendships! We may even be playing there the 14th and the 15th-more on that if we firm it all up!

 

If you want more Irish music, well, we have it. On March 3^rd at 6:00 PM, we're playing the Jefferson Council for the Performing Arts, opening the evening for the international dance troupe Celtic Legends. This promises to be a magical night. See you there!

MySpace

We've added a MySpace account! Giving in to social pressures, we've decided we needed a 'social networking' presence. So surf on over and pay us a visit, become a friend, leave a comment, and most importantly, hear some new tracks that we're putting together. For even more music, check out Kurt Griesemer's MySpace account, for some non- or pre-Borderlands (all original) music!

mp3's

We've added three demo mp3's to the site. Waste no time, download them now.
