Writer/director of Green Blah! The History of Green Bay Punk Rock, Pretti recently brought his 30+ years in the Green Bay and Milwaukee punk scenes to the Oriental Theater for the 2025 Milwaukee Film Fest.

Dehd vocalist Emily Kempf weaves a tiny braid into her bleached blonde shag as she instructs, “Be more childlike … now I feel like building a fort … It'd be so great to have a backyard all the time, because then I could have little forts everywhere for each mood that I'm in.”As Kempf shares her hack to staying young and beating death, she finishes the tiny braid. There is no elastic band to keep it in place. That was never the point.

Jan 20, 2025 | radiomilwaukee.org | Carolann Grzybowski

Was 2024 the year of Auntie? Let’s look at the evidence. The Milwaukee artist, producer and DJ shared not one, not two, but three releases: the full-length album a on April 5, the compilation 17 - 22 on July 8, and yet another full-length called on Nov. 11. The middle part of that trio was a celebration of her career thus far, packaged in a limited-edition vinyl format.
