About Me



WE SAVOR

THIS LIFE

...and will not, as long as we are able to breathe, let it be contaminated.

WE ARE CONCERNED WITH AND PROVIDE:
MUSIC. ART. SPECTACULAR EVENTS. CREATIVITY. COMMUNITY.
FAMILY.

And to think, it all started with --



My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 25/09/2007
Band Members:

Clara Rose Thornton
Music journalist; film, wine and visual art critic; band promoter; obsessive sonic junkie; festival gypsy; the press connection and organizational nutjob, grinning nighttime twirler

Justin W. Powell (a.k.a. JP9000)
Keyboardist for the John Wasem Band, keyboardist for Emily Cavanagh, formally trained jazz master, mascot for cultural preservation, Southern gentlemen, consummate party-starter and eater of fine goat cheese

Influences: The beautiful family and culture of the old guard at Wise Fools Pub in Chicago; Home Grown Music Network; classic, old-school rave promoters; Loyal Family, Rawkus Records, Mo' Wax, HarsH Pro, the Chicago jazz and blues scenes of the 1940s through the '80s, the Beats, JamBase, Jay Goldberg Events and Entertainment, Sci Fidelity, Shimon Presents, your pub/ballroom/festival rebel yell

Sounds Like: The expressive, passionate ROOTS ROCK that wafted into that important segment of your dream last night. You were flying.

The vivacious full-band HIP-HOP that leaves your sensibilities coated with the thick molasses of conscious rhymes and hypnotizing rhythm.

The postmodern mental maze of ORGANIC ELECTRONICA, wherein the roof-rattling dance beat acting as dictator over your heels is merely the perfect control the keyboardist owns over his or her wrists.

The breeze skating through the open space between ecstatic, flailing arms at a summer festival. We listened closely.

Record Label: Representing good ones from all points of the map.
Type of Label: Indie
