“A dream for short-attention-span punks; imagine an elastic gymnast doing a jittery floor routine to the Suburban Lawns. These wirey, zig-zag punks from Chicago make good on their band name and will bring happiness to old schoolers who love Y Pants and new schoolers into the NWI scene á la the most excellent Coneheads. Spread Joy’s absurdly weird and wonderful angles make them the Picasso of the Midwest (minus the macho BS). Creation and destruction in under a minute? Yes please” – Maximum RNR
Artificial Go sounds like a cross between Swiss music group Kleenex and the wiggles. We are here to make people dance again and tap into a younger self that just discovered their curiosities of rock and roll and earthworms. Pancakes and humbuckers with flashlight-up waist belts, checkered taxis beep beep beep. Time to go!!
Body Shop is a rapidly evolving, new wave/post-punk act, featuring the primal pop sensibilities of synths, drum machines, and guitars. A pseudo-religious, dance hysteria. To the uninitiated, they’re a high speed chase from Chicago, hurtling toward the after-hours of neon-soaked dance halls and insomniac freak-beat clubs. To those in the know, they’re Body Shop.
