What Made Milwaukee Famous has been a stalwart of the Austin, Texas music scene since their inception in 2002.

Their “elegant pop” (Billboard) has landed them on the bill at a number of the mammoth festivals including Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Sasquatch, SXSW and Lollapalooza, highlighted by a taping on PBS’s prestigious Austin City Limits with Franz Ferdinand. They have also shared the stage with the likes of Arcade Fire, The Black Keys, The National, Snow Patrol, The Walkmen, TV on the Radio, and The Pretenders to name a few; a testament to the band’s musical diversity and mutual respect with other artists in the industry. WMMF has returned with their third full-length album You Can’t Fall Off The Floor that picks up right where they left off; uniting powerful, anthemic hooks with lush instrumentation and poignant libretto.
