« "Dona Got A Ramblin' Mind" And She's Ramblin' To Chicago | Transmission Thursday at the Five Star! » |
Concert Wed Aug 29 2007
Loud Choir Loud
Heralded as Chicago's first and only punk rock choir, Blue Ribbon Glee Club have been reconstructing all of your punk rock favs. Made up of 25 local musicians, including members of Black Apple, The Record Low, Tense Forms, and Devin Davis, the ensemble performs covers of modern classics by The Clash and The Pixies to name a few. Clad in matching outfits and armed with songbooks, the glee club performs largely accapella, assigning individual members guitar lines, bass rythyms, and even song-specific effects, resulting in impressively accurate re-creations.
Come check out the choir as they perform at The Hideout's annual block party next weekend.
