"I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."
-John Wayne
We're a band from Woodridge/DG (Chicago burbs). Im not going to waste time writing a paragraph on what were "about" when you can listen to our music (but if you are interested beyond sound, message us). - trike
*The American Nightmare is selling for the amazing price of $5! you can send us money (add 2 dollars so we can ship it to you) or get it at our live show. We still have 3 song demo CDs for free which are available at our live shows. if youre bored with all of that, we have a 7 song EP on our way, to be released this summer*
This is a slightly edited e-mail that I got earlier today. Basically to anyone who cares about live music in Chicago, we need to mobilize.
Here's the letter:
You may have already heard about the hearing for the Promotors Ordinance on May 14 (tomorrow) (I know I just did, from about 10 different people!). In case you didn't know, this ordinance pops up every so often and is shuffled into the agenda in hopes it can pass and the city council can help Chicago line it's fat pockets all the while restricting what kind of art makes its way throught the lifeblood of Chicago.
This is yet another chance for those who could care less to stifle the Chicago arts and make sure we stay the Second City, all so they can fine folks and get richer!Let's make sure they get the picture this time- last time tons of artists and art lovers took off work & showed up at the hearing to show their dissidence. They're hoping we won't be so interested this time around...
Please just click below & add your signature/comments, even if you're no longer living in Chicago.
If you don't take 5 minutes to read and sign this, you have to ask yourself- what kind of artist/patron/Chicagoan are you?! http://savechicagoculture. org/
Also, here's an article from the Chicago Sun-Times pertaining to the ordinance:
