YOUTH BRIGADE

YOUTH BRIGADE was formed at the end of summer 1980 in Los Angeles, amid the explosion of the punk scene in Southern California by brothers Shawn, Mark, and Adam Stern. The brothers Stern have established YOUTH BRIGADE as one of the most powerful, independent groups in North America over the course of their 25 odd years of existence. The basic philosophy of the band is that “youth” is an attitude, not an age and that every generation has the responsibility to change what they feel is wrong in the world. Unfortunately, it seems that many people either forget or grow weary of this responsibility as they get older in years, so the band feels it is really important that every new generation realize this responsibility and act upon it.

WORKOUT MUSIC

In June 2010, Workout Music won WGN’s Breakthrough Band contest which landed them a $10k recording at I.V. Lab Studios. Since then WM has gained popularity throughout Chicago headlining gigs at the House of Blues, Double Door and Elbo Room.

Workout Music prides themselves on their explosive live shows; creating dance party atmospheres with confetti, silly string, balloons, bubbles, custom projection and of course, Jameson.

Dance.Sweat.Rock is the motto – and exactly what you’ll get.

WORLD / INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY

The World / Inferno Friendship Society is one band that might actually be worthy of being called a “society.” Consisting of 13 members, recruited from a dream list of “everyone who you never thought would make an album together” (the most peculiar listings from their resume include former members of Blues Traveler, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons’ Half Time Marching Band), the World / Inferno Friendship Society plays every instrument known to man, and has dabbled in every musical genre you could name on a bet. Now this Music Theory class on wheels graces us with a sound that is too damn out there to be everyday pop, rock, ska, dance, or salsa (even though it sounds like all these), but is too damned goofy to qualify as serious prog-rock.

YER MOTHERS LOVERS

Blazing a trail since their inception, YER MOTHERS LOVERS turned the Chicago music scene on it’s head with an aural frequency never before heard. Combining classic rock, psychedelic, folk, punk, grunge, acid rock, goth, prog, jazz and pop into a molten cocktail of visceral power with a flow like pure mechanized lava in what can only be described as > Free-Form Rock and Roll > Dynamic, melodic, spacious, heavy and more distortion than your favorite news channel. A force of nature. An act of sheer musical bravado. Improvisational and dead-bolt tight. YER MOTHERS LOVERS possess a sound truly like no other > Unpredictable and always devastating >
