3 New Things Coming to Milwaukee in January

A new album from Buena Cara and two new books from local authors

1. BUENA CARA

Knotty guitar and shouty, anxious vocals lend a mighty urgency to the songs of this three-piece emo band. Their self-titled debut album is out now.

2. The Business Trip 

Author and CBS 58 news director Jessie Garcia makes her fiction debut with this thriller. When two women on the same flight vanish after texting about the same man, their friends try to untangle a messy web of manipulation. The novel is released Jan. 14.

3. Oxeye Reader: Milwaukee

The quiet month of January is the ideal time to dive into some poetry. This curated collection – out now – features the works of local poets and artists and serves as a snapshot of the scene.
