Sounds Like...listening.



Our ambiguity is due to the fact that we don't play any particular "kind" of music. Thats just the truth. We feel about as fufilled playing one style of music as you do eating one style of food for the rest of your life. If thats not good enough for you then smoke the salmon. (and garnish with a bit of rosemary)



Warning: smaller songs may pose a choking hazard.













I'll be on my audio graffiti thing. Original beats and LP's. LIVE!!!

Thursday, May 15 @ 10pm wasn't doable for me. But May 24 we'll see each other, Lord willing.

(Will you also be at Echoes of Chicago event in daytime? I was invited to do some experimental, one-man stuff)

Tomorrow. Sunday, May 18. I will be doing my first solo show in years. A cappella poetry/hip-hop. At Green Mill. Also featuring the amazing poet/performer/writer/actor/National Poetry Slam champion Roger Bonair-Agard (from Brooklyn, by way of Trinidad). 7pm. $6. 21+. Hope you can make it, captain.

I knew that he wasn't the first, but I don't know much about who predated him. He didn't invent the lightbulb, either.

I wish I could catch you tonight. I'm giving my band's guitarist and his equipment a ride to a gig WE have tonight. I'm also sad that Saul Williams has a show (which I already have a ticket for) the same night as you, Blah Blah Blah, Rashid Hadee, Filf Dos, and company in April. :(

If you're not tired after the event @ Trace, I invite you to swing through, captain. ALL the bands are dope. But I know we'll play around 11pm or so. (Isn't too far away... flier below)






And also...in a week...mark your calendar. *All-ages* If you have students, younger siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, goddaughters, etc. looking for things to do, this is that show. 9-piece band Berto Ramon (hip-hop/breakbeat/latin) put on a dope show, and Ferdinand Fox is possibly the most entertaining rock band in Chicago live.
And PRINT THIS FLIER/MESSAGE FOR REDUCED $5 COVER!





* And every last Wednesday at Morseland (1218 W.
Morse)--March 26!
