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.

It's a Long Way To the Top: Chicago Music Interns (Part 1)

By Dan Morgridge

The music industry primarily runs off of the hopes and dreams of millions of kids wanting to be in a rock and roll band. Its slightly lesser known secondary source of fuel is the hopes and dreams of kids who at least want to work in a rock and roll business. All over Chicago, businesses large and small find interns knocking on their door - students, career-changers, hobbyists, and more. Transmission sits down to talk to some of them about where they're coming from, where they want to go, and what fun manual labor they've performed along on the way.
