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. Since 1998 Gomez has gone on to release several albums, including "Liquid Skin" in 1999, "In Our Gun" in 2002, "Split the Difference" in 2004 and the live album "Out West" in 2005.

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

Chamber Pop quintet Matt Pond P.A. made a Milwaukee appearance last year when it opened for Liz Phair at The Pabst. 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."

General admission tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 8 at noon for $18.50 at the Pabst Theater Box Office, online at pabsttheater.org and tickets.com, or by calling (414) 286-3663 or (800) 511-1552.
