January 1, 2014 (historic first posting!)

The Ike Reilly Assassination

The pride (or scourge?) of Libertyville Illinois, Ike is a lyric genius, and his shows are fueled with raw energy, frenetic bursts of cynicism and straight talk - straight up, hard charging, beer drinking intelligent rock & roll at it's best.
"Cars and girls and drinks and songs, make this world spin around".
He plays fairly frequently around Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis, with occasional national shows. He's been known to pop up in Brooklyn every year or so.

Xoe Wise

Xoe Wise is everything that Ike Reilly isn't - they're polar opposites. She's young and sweet, introspective and understated, one might even be tempted to describe her as doe-eyed... She is an emotional story teller with a unique set of sounds - from more typical acoustic singer/songwriter to songs with more of an electronica and urban sound. Originally from a tiny town in North Carolina, she currently calls Chicago home. Catch her before she gets too big-citified.

The Pimps of Joytime

The Pimps of Joytime are a Brooklyn based, fast paced, happy faced bundle of dancable funky energy. Extensively touring around the US and favorites on some of the smaller fesitval stages, this band is definitely worth a listen when you feel like some funky grooves. A little Princ-y, some throwback funk and soul, a delicious mix including some strong New Orleans influence.
"She do la la, treat me right, dance in a circle of candlelight
trade my car, for a shooting star,
I'm riding on the wave of your love"
