Help Wanted

Do you seldom need to be convinced to go to hear a new band at your neighborhood nightspot? Do you find yourself wandering down every aisle of the record store hoping for a chance at finding a misfiled import? Do you love getting the first crack at a soon-to-be released single from an underground band? Then we want to hear from you!

Gapers Block's music blog, Transmission, is looking for new contributors to help beef up our coverage of all the music that Chicago has to offer. We're particularly interested in contributors to focus on the local hip hop, folk, jazz, blues, classical and electronica scenes to round out our rock coverage.

If you are able to write about Chicago's music scene a couple times a week, plus the occasional feature-length piece, we'd love to have you join us. (Please note: this is not currently a paid position; we're all volunteers here on Gapers Block.) Send three sample posts, along with your full name and your favorite types of music, to transmission(at)gapersblock.com with the subject line "Ready to Rock." Don't delay!

The Numero Group is fighting to preserve music that most of us never even knew was endangered.
