Rock the Bells is Coming! (Kinda.)

We here at Transmission were excited, EXCITED, to hear that the yearly Rock the Bells Tour was opening in Chicago in July. An all-star lineup! The reunification of A Tribe Called Quest! Whatever Wu Tang members decide to show up! De La Soul! Rakim! Local hip-hop makes good in Kid Sister and The Cool Kids! All that, and more, and outdoors!

Except, um, it won't be in Chicago proper.

Initial announcements say that it'll be at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. Know where that is, kids? Tinley Park. Better than, say, road-tripping to Indy or Madison, but to say "Chicago" brings up thoughts of, well, not a Metra ride to the burbs, into "Chicagoland".

Check the site for further info, mailing lists, giveaways, and other niceties.

She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
