British indie rock quintet Gomez plays a Milwaukee date with special guest Matt Pond P.A. at The Pabst Theater on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 8 p.m.
Gomez broke onto the music scene in a big way in 1998 with its debut album, "Bring It On," an album that went on to win the Mercury Music prize.

Gomez is touring in support of its critically acclaimed album "How We Operate," which was released in May 2006.

The band released its debut album, "Deer Apartments," in 1998 and has since released five additional albums, including 2005's "Several Arrows Later." Matt Pond P.A.'s music has been featured on FOX's "The O.C.," and the band is widely recognized for its cover version of Oasis' "Champagne Supernova."

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
