Except on the weekdays. It's been a busy month so far! Spaced Out has been great and Chicago showed some love too. Richard is on the East cost now studding painting at Yale for grad school. In his spare time he's bee rocking the crowds in New York. All in all it's been a great month!

This week I'll be at Vbar on Thursday night with Why B & D-On, Friday in Madison at Montmartre, and Saturday is Spaced Out at MOCT with my self and E6! This will be a weekend to remember, so remember to pace yourself.

Check out the pictures of last Saturday at Spaced Out with Miss Fairchild and I. It was probably one of the best Spaced Out's EVER!

Dj Falcon & Fresh 2 Death!

2007-07-30T22:07:00.000-07:00

We're playing with Dj Falcon (Roule/Paris) and Erok (Milwaukee) at Smart Bar on FRIDAY! It's going to be pretty amazing getting to open for, and hear, Dj Falcon! I remember when I picked up his "My Name Is Dj Falcon" 12" in 1999, and then when he teamed up with his cousin Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk/Stardust) to form Together. At any rate, I fell in love with their sound. DON'T MISS THIS!!!

And of course, Saturday will be FRESH TO DEATH! The Glamour @ The Riverhorse!

2007-05-18T11:37:00.000-07:00

Vyle hails from the same village where Kells crafts her genius and "Double and Triple-Time Rhyme" originated. With music that feels sort of like an American stuck in a coin-operated pachinko hall in Tokyo, an old transit subway storage room under the metropolis or the most humid discotheque located in the Dirty South of Europe, Vyle has sculpted a name for himself in Chicago's electronic and rap scenes. After appearing in newspapers and after selling 8,000 of his debut album and street mixtapes with minimal distribution from 2002-2005. Using an amalgamation of stuttering electric glitches atop vintage bass, juxtaposing crunk, Miami bass, Baltimore house, Chicago Ghetto-house and pop of all eras and geographies. After countless showcases in Chicago and across the country supporting the first album he released as a high school junior (Post-Paleaontolgist, Birthwrite Rec, 2001), Preforming at Pitchfork Festival in Chicago with Flosstradamus, a Chicago DJ group that vyle is the rapping contingent along with Kid Sister. URB Magazine listed him among their "Next Top 1000" artists! Don't miss out on his debut performance in Milwaukee!
Check out Vyle's Myspace

2007-04-05T08:40:00.000-07:00

I've had some requests to post "Blast", our first song from 2004, up on the web. I never really did because it was our first track and we were still trying to find "our sound" or whatever. We're going to re-edit this track soon and I'll post that version when it's done. So here is "Blast" for those who want it. I'm also posting a link to "Kidz Night" here too.
