(subject to change) IndigoSun is a psychedelic funk-tronica group from Chicago making waves in the Midwest scene. Combining catchy melodies and talented instrumentalists with booty-moovin beats, we emanate funky vibes of groovy love and ecstatic dance. Our sonic universe emerged from a big bang that fed on the fuel of many genres and influences as diverse as Lotus and The Meters, STS9 and Herbie Hancock, Jamiroquai and Big Gigantic, Sigur Ros and Radiohead. But most importantly, we seek to find true freedom of expression through our music, and we hope to encourage others to do the same in all aspects of their lives. We always have a good time with our music, and we have come to GET DOWN! Listen to and download official releases: http://indigosun.bandcamp.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASTROBOOGIE-Gaining popularity through raves, pubs, saloons, small festivals, and impromptu dance parties, Astro Boogie has been on the scene for a little over 2 years. However, the two main members, Ben and Berto, have been into the jam and electronica scene since they were kids. From folk-indie, to hippie-hop; from jazz and blues to straight up grime, dubstep, and metal, Astro Boogie does it all. Live performances are described as bassy, hard, funky, and full of boogie. Every scene has an antihero; Astro Boogie isn't quite a band, and isn't quite a DJ or producer set. It's an enigma of blasting bass, meaningful mashups, trance swells, hip hop beats and guitar solos. Every set is different and every song is different. Somewhere between Berto's rhythmic beats and Ben's freeform vocals, clips, synth, and guitar is a flowing beast that screams "Get on your feet!" Boasted to be more full sounding jams than some bands with 5+ members, Astro Boogie assumes the role of the underdog while melting faces across the Midwest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Porn and Chicken-lewd. crude. lascivious. licentious. scandalous. DANCE PARTY. who's SRTB? we sure as hell are. SO READY TO BANG! http://www.orvillekline.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HULK-HULK is the impulsive, bone-breaking alter-ego of audio-scientists Claw and Richie August. They combined their creative powers for the common good after meeting at the 2009 Winter Music Conference in Miami, exchanging research and data in the fields of Dubstep, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass. But after an experimental dubstep drop exposed them to gamma radiation, their talents fused into the raging, supreme beast that is HULK. http://www.soundcloud.com/hulk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EAT U ALIVE-If you don't hear their drops, then this is not a true exclusive! http://www.soundcloud.com/eatualivemusic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DJ ADAMOSITY-Dj Adamosity began his musical journey as a guitarist in a death metal band, where he was dubbed 'Adamosity'. After the metal scene started fading around the Kankakee area, he began the epic adventure that you see unfolding before your eyes. Starting with house, he realized that he had fallen in love with the electronic music spectrum. Forever searching for new artists and influences, he finally found the hard hitting breakdowns that he had been chasing. Armed with uptempo beats and high pitched sirens he borrowed from house added to the whomps and wobbles from dub, with a little bit of death metal breakdowns and drops of old sprinkled on top he was ready to start his career as a Dj. Through the years he has not only come across, but added to his style some flavor from Breakbeat, drum and bass and Electro. Just another metal kid that brought his own particular style of GRIME to the dance floor. Get up, get up and get down http://soundcloud.com/dj-adamosity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CEE FRESH-A lyricist whose attributes seem to surpass those in the game who would beyond shadow of a doubt consider themselves to be “Legendary”. Chris Hasty, better known as “Cee Fresh”, grew up middle-class in the infamous suburbs of the Mid-West in Naperville, Aurora, & Bourbonnais, Illinois. Being not too fond of what the government had planned for this talented young artists, Fresh decided not to take the path chosen by so many of those who are caught up in what he believes to be “The Routine”, “The Cycle”, or “The System”. As a child, Chris Hasty believed that he had been blessed with a more intuitive, vivid imagination than most of his fellow counterparts. Fresh always knew that there was something more to life than what was being physically presented to his eyes, and he planned on proving it. As he prospered along his life’s journey, gaining wisdom and knowledge via sages and illuminated beings, he noticed that his passion for music would and could potentially help those who are indeed in need of “divine assistance”; as he would like to call it. Fresh had always felt as if he was here on this planet Earth for a much more preeminent reason than to just work a 9-5, or to enroll further into the American Education system. Hasty then decided to chase his dream and become an artists like none other; with a mission statement unlike any of those who are trying to prove a point today. What type of “point” or “plan” exactly is it that Cee Fresh is trying to establish & execute you might wonder? Well, let’s just say this; Chris Hasty b.k.a Cee Fresh intends on devising a scheme to reconcile a revolution for evolution; guided by his heart while being reinforced by his throat chakra. Influenced by artists such as Nas, Rakim, & Jay Electronica, Cee Fresh intends to take bass driven root chakra resonating beats, as well as a variety of other genres, and establish a deeper connection with those who are mentally confused as to why they are not satisfied with the way they are living life. As his search continues to figure out what this 4th dimension is all about, he urges people to take a stand on what they believe to be right, while promising that he will do all that he can in order to help people see what their “PG” has to offer. http://soundcloud.com/ceefresh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAIK WILLIS-starving artist isn't a metaphor "Jaik is a hardcore troubador somewhere inbetween Steve Earle and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He has wandered around the USA like a modern minstrel, surfing sofas, car camping, and paying dues to sing the blues. It is a high energy solo show featuring Jaik's horn-like voice darting around a blistering broken-string approach to his acoustic flying V guitar, with original songs that are accessible, and message driven" - (Chicago Jams) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seal Of Saturn--l- Seal of Saturn started off in January 2008, but went through numerous member changes ,ect. Of course, the band name changed as well. We are sworn to conquering and with relentless might will do so. We are not a "local" band by any means. Live shows are also a rarity. We work with many well known artists, so be prepared. -l- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clavicus Vile is a Progressive/ Technical Death Metal band. http://clavicusvile.bandcamp.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're Parallels and Lies. We're less of a band, more of a collective. Ever since 2012, we've been taking over the music scene, our way. We've opened for Filter and Krewella and Rah Rah, headlined the Hard Rock Cafe, played the House of Blues and Double Door, all within less than a year of doing live shows. We're about to take over the world with our debut, Hibernation. We're visual, and musical. Experimental, and complex. Get ready, we're the people your mother should have warned you about http://soundcloud.com/parallelsandlies ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lakeside Collective was formed on a cold fall night, on the Northside of Chicago. We met through school and open ears. After spending the time jamming and creating we decided to pursue what we had. Still an early band we are moving quickly on the scene and playing as much as possible, trying to express our art and the limits in which we are willing to go for improvisation. We hope we can make you groove. http://lakesidecollective.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Age Nomenclature-taking over the world one show at a time..... Blues/Original http://www.reverbnation.com/newagenomenclature ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performing live since 2002, Pete Jive has been spreading the message of self affirmation and compassion throughout the greater Chicagoland area. Bassist, Juice Digits, and Vocalist/Guitarist, Pete Jive, provide a feel-good show every time, diffusing positivity and spreading good vibrations nightly to their rapidly growing fan base. The band’s first E.P. “Live at the Kinetic Playground” was released October 2009 and was the first album to showcase Pete Jive’s “old country picking style and youthful wisdom”, as Josh Hisle from Neil Young’s Vapor Records put it. In June 2011, the group will release “No Sign of Regret”, their first studio album, 2 years in the making. This record features elements of traditional American folk music, roots reggae and rock ‘n’ roll, which have shaped Pete Jive’s sound and direction from the start. The release coincides with the launch of PeteJive.com and a heap of dates for late summer and fall including shows in, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Alabama, Missouri and New Jersey. The energy of Pete Jive live is contagious and they have had opportunities to share the stage with national artists such as Slightly Stoopid, Josh Heinrichs, Badda Skat, Josh Hisle and DJ Redlox. Local favorite Chicago Farmer mentioned, “I’ve heard nothing but good things, and they were all true”. http://www.petejive.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking Hits Constantly is an underground rap group consisting of Liquid G (Matt Griffin) and PassASpliff (Mike Drafke) based out of the South Chicago Suburbs. Their combination of new age beats, well developed lyrical talent, and explosive live performance makes them some of the most unique underground groups in rap.
