Old Lazarus' Harp is collective of folk musicians and likeminded artists who have been hosting square dances,
hootenannies, and concerts around Chicago for much
of the past year. Can I Get an Amen play energetic, oldtimey music with banjo, fiddle, guitar, and upright bass.
Spitzer Space Telescope is a new addition to Chicago’s
music scene. With just a guitar and fiddle, SST delivers
powerful songs with raw and wild energy
MONDAY / 08
DJ Philly Peroxide spins classic and contemporary dark
alternative music: ethereal, dreampop, shoegaze and
trip-hop (early in the night); post-punk, goth, darkwave, glam, deathrock, electronic, new wave, synthpop, minimal wave and indie (late night). Pillars
and Tongues will perform a dreamy set of dark tunes..

days a year at chirpradio.org. CHIRP Night is monthly
fundraiser for the station that features a rotating cast of
CHIRP DJs and live musical performances. This month’s
headliner is Brooklyn-based Les Racquet. According to
Deli Magazine, “There’s an almost schizophrenic cocktail here that moves from punk to Afrobeat to acid jazz
in equal turns, but never pulls away from the meat and
potatoes required of any ambitious young group. Like an
iPod playlist come to life, this is a group you’ll find impossible to pin down, but easy to get down to.” Chicago indie
pop band Hemmingbirds play first.

MARQUIS HILL TRIO
Every Tuesday, the Relax Attack Jazz Series presents
Chicago's top jazz artists in a lively atmosphere, full of
cocktail-shaking and spirited conversation. On April 9th
we welcome the Marquis Hill Trio. At age 25, trumpeter
Marquis Hill is already well-known in the Chicago jazz
scene. After earning a Bachelor degree in Music Education and Jazz Studies at Northern Illinois University, Hill
settled in Chicago, where he is now in the process of earning his Masters in Jazz Pedagogy.
FRIDAY / 19—SATURDAY / ­20
Punk rock meets avant-garde burlesque. Les Soubrettes
wowed the Whistler crowd on New Years Eve and return
tonight with an all-new performance.
SUN ROOMS
Handsome Tyrants is a duo comprised of Ryan Dempsey
and Jeremy Alvarez. The duo use a multitude of synths,
drum machines and software to shape their left field pop
sound. Although their influences are rooted in the pioneers of electronic music, they explore modern hip-hop,
industrial, and psych. The Tyrants will be releasing a six
song tape this evening and will be playing an ambient set
crafted specifically for the Glad Cloud Series with the
help of long time collaborator Juan Sanchez.
CIMMfest is the Chicago International Movies & Music
Festival, a four-day showcase of outstanding films, concerts, VJ/DJ sets, Q&A’s, and live score performances. On
Friday, April 19th Kid Color and Joe Carsello (Lazers and
