Q&A AFTER TWO HEADED COW SCREENING

PERFORMING SATURDAY MARCH 7 @ DOUBLE DOOR

Crystal clear electronic sounds and powerful kicking beats. Sharp, intelligent dancefloor electronica rhythms melt together with fantastic clean Electro sounds. Situated in the intersection where post-industrial experimentalism, trip-hop, IDM, and moody string sections meet.

As a kitschy self-styled pop showman, May fronts a four-man indie pop ensemble called Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele, in which he sings and plays the eponymous stringed instrument.

The frontman for ironic Chicago club rock trio Baby Teeth, Levitan will perform songs from his first solo album, Speak, Memory, which delves into the same stew of influences, from pop and soul to prog rock.

Using guitar, keys, harmonica, steel drum, and various percussion instruments, Jeremy Jacobson achieves his unique blend of blues, rock, garage, Caribbean, and Appalachian sounds. No more than 8 tracks are recorded for each song, preserving the authenticity of his live show in which he simultaneously plays two or more instruments at once.

Deemed the Black Godfather, this Chicagoan plays unapologetic, gritty yet soulful R&B. He hit the scene in 1955, co-writing Stevie Wonder's first song "Thank You for Loving Me," and more than 50 years later Williams continues to dazzle and energize crowds with his characteristic stage presence and sound.

Chicago band Percolator has earned admiring comparisons to Pavement, They Might Be Giants, the Meat Puppets, and Built to Spill since they were founded in 2006. Since then, they have been busy making music, recording four EPs and an LP, all of which you can download for free from their website. "Keep an eye on these guys." -- Chicagoist
