Winner of the karaoke contest at Kalani's

I recently put in a plug for the karaoke contest at Roma's with the fabulous Kalani as host. The contest was last Saturday. I am proud to say that one of my Facebook friends, Karn Orner, took first place! Here she is holding one of the most awesome trophies I have ever seen.
Karn knocked 'em dead with "Last Dance" and "Redneck Woman".

Congratulations, Karn!!

Karaoke capitol of the US

Songkick just announced the results. Madison and Milwaukee are in the top ten cities for live rock music! Those busy folks at Songkick computed the number of rock shows per capita for all major cities in the US, and ranked them.

Madison was #2. Milwaukee was #6.

Songkick unfortunately did not look at karaoke venues per capita, which is sad, since my own diligent research shows that there are regularly just a whole bunch of karaoke gigs in the Milwaukee area. As I write this, there are 157 venues listed. Wow. What other city can claim that? I mean, you go to bars to sing karaoke, and where can you find more bars per capita??!?!

So... here are my results. Based on my extensive research (of one city), Milwaukee is the karaoke capitol of the US, with the most karaoke venues per capita!  You heard it here first!

Review of karaoke at AJs

AJ's Bar & Grill is located just a short drive west of Milwaukee on Muskego Lake.  Stop by on the first and third Friday of every month starting at 9:00pm for a few hours of karaoke fun with DJ Dan. You'll be amazed by our selection of song titles - all-digital and constantly updated. AJ's features a spacious dining area with pool tables and a large stage for you to show off your moves along with your karaoke skills. We have multiple cordless mics so that your friends can join you on and off the stage. We've got plenty of juice to fill the hall, along with a floor monitor so that you can hear yourself just as well as your friends do. We look forward to seeing you in Muskego!

Review submitted 12/4/2010 by DJ Dan himself

Changes in venues, Dec. 4, 2010

I heard from Linda that D&D Sports Bar and Grill (West Allis) will no longer be doing karaoke on Friday nights.

I heard from two local KJs about karaoke some new karaoke venues. Dan Fritz told me about a Friday night gig he has had for a while at AJ's Bar and Grill in Muskego, but he also told me he has a new gig for Wednesday nights at the Branded Steer 2 (near Hwy 45 and Good Hope).

Jim Edgeworth let me know about his gig on Saturday's at Pillar's Pub in West Bend.
