"That's funny, 'cause I was just wondering when kids in Georgia were going to start making insane '88-style acid house with fake English accents in bands named after misspelled 70s feminist artists." - Vice Magazine
"Atlanta disco-scuzz hooligans deliver the line of the year: "We're gonna get naked and watch Cops." We're so there, dudes!" - Blender Magazine
"Deadpanned rhymes follow Beck-like abstractions to odd and eloquent conclusions, and the beats reference early house, techno and electro while keeping it coarse around the edges. This concoction works well, as everything gets delivered with a nod, a wink and some extra bite" - Remix Magazine
"As if a million metronomes were beating your brain with a foot of raw salami." - CMJ Magazine
"A gleefully charismatic 21st century strut that sounds like the missing link connecting Sly Stone, Johnny Rotten, the Happy Mondays and Art Brut." Insite Atlanta
Judi Chicago will be playing with our friends the Coathangers on July 15 at the Earl. It's going to be fun with a capital FU.
BIO:
JUDI CHICAGO exists in a parallel universe where beef burgers can rap and alcho-pop whippets puke neon hues over the pavements of the weekend
Since 2006 the wicked duo of multi-instrumentalists Travis Thatcher and British-born ATL transplant Benjamin Coleman have concocted their surreal blend of acid house, futurist disco, 8-Bit Bloops, the whooping and clattering of art-punk and psychedelic rock and the rhythm and grind of ragga, jungle, Booty Bass and UKG / Bassline culture.
Both utilize a range of new and old electronic instruments, many of them modified, circuit-bent or built from scratch. Adding live percussion, guitars, bass, horns and anything else that they get their hands on, JUDI CHICAGO makes a dazzling mess that bucks the conventions of live electronic music in favour of spontaneity and risk.
JUDI CHICAGO’s reputation as a thrilling, unpredictable live act grows continually as the group bemuses, excites and moves the crowd at every show. Thatcher and Coleman have shared stages with the likes of Battles, Bonde Do Role, Dan Deacon, Datarock, Kevin Blechdom and many others; dressed to the nines and doing it to death... These are two pigeons that will not be holed.
