    More about the participants:

    SKECH185

    The journey of SKECH185 in the culture of hip-hop is one of the most colorful stories to touch the genre. Born Willie McIntyre on January 10, 1985 (hence the name), he entered the rap arena at 16, testing his own abilities at Chicago open mics and hostile freestyle cyphers.

    Always an avid and exceptionally intelligent student of rap techniques and timelines, SKECH learned and developed the foundations for his own approach through an advanced method of battle rapping and song writing studying the approaches of everyone from Jay-Z to Labtekwon.

    SKECH caught the attention of Galapagos4 at the age of 19 and embarked on a four-year stint with the infamous label. He began work on an album with G4’s own DJ Whitelightning, an instrumentally gritty and verbally abrasive effort that was terminated due to creative differences.

    With the release of his highly-acclaimed debut album, “New Age Middle Finger”, he further cemented himself as a voice in Indie Hip Hop and reached the ears as distant as the UK and Japan. Being 1/7 of Chicago progressive rap outfit Tomorrow Kings, they are set to release their debut full length “Nigger Rigged Time Machine” on December 3rd while he works at his follow up record (with long time collaborator Analog(ue) Tape Dispenser) entitled “WARCHURCH: Sons of The Throw Away Age.”

    More on participants:

    Tim Samuelson has been seeking-out the stories of America’s past for over forty years. As the City of Chicago’s official “Cultural Historian” – the first person to hold the position since its creation in 2002 – Mr. Samuelson firmly believes that the stewardship of history should more than just good scholarship and careful footnotes. If history is to be vital and relevant, it’s equally important to engagingly tell the story.

    In his role as Chicago’s historian, Mr. Samuelson has told the city’s many stories through exhibits, books, public programs and media presentations. Topics include a wide range of Chicago’s diverse contributions to the arts and popular culture. His media appearances include participation in nationally-broadcast television series that include Nova, History Detectives and The American Experience.

    First and foremost, Tim Samuelson’s favorite topic is Midwestern architecture, with special emphasis on the life and work of Louis H. Sullivan. His previous professional experience includes five years as the Curator of Architecture at the Chicago Historical Society, and over fifteen years as a historian and restoration advisor with the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. He has also been a consultant for numerous historic restoration projects, including the St. Louis Union Station and recent work at Louis Sullivan’s historic Carson Pirie Scott Store in Chicago.

His absurdist, verbose comedy covers not only the vagaries of life in his adopted hometown of Chicago, but also the usefulness of mammoths, dogs who study law, and the importance of gangland grammar.

Adam has opened for a wide variety of comedians including Jeff Ross, Maria Bamford, Doug Benson, Bo Burnham, Brendon Burns, and Robin Williams.

    Adam Burke has been enjoying a nice run of media attention for his fine work at The Kiss Kiss Cabaret and Cole’s Open Mic! First there’s this fun article from the Chicago Reader, then the article from the Highland Park Suntimes, and then this Comedy of Chicago review of one of his sets, plus this Trib Local article coincided with his St. Patty’s Day Show in Wilmette.

    Like Pioneers

    Like Pioneers’ Oh, Magic is now available on vinyl and digitally, via ♬ Bandcamp or iTunes. Also, check out their video for Tell ‘Em, Ghost:http://vimeo.com/43355369

    If Piecemeal was technically their first album, then Oh, Magic should be considered their first album as a band. It is the document of a year spent collectively dirtying a clean slate. A year spent writing, grilling, playing shows (with folks like The Thermals, The Head & The Heart, Disappears, Tokyo Police Club, and Caveman) — and solidifying as an actual group, not just a project.

    Soft Speaker

    Adding a little dash of everything to their musical stew and letting it simmer, Soft Speaker has created a delicious blend of the psychedelic, indie, folk and pop. Along the same contemporary lines of Crystal Skulls, Sleep Station, and a more subdued Nightmare of You, Soft Speaker is still able to tap into some elements of the 60’s and early 70’s folk-rock. Fans of indie pop and floaty instrumentals will love Soft Speaker.reviewsic
