Well Pressed

Chicago is at its sultry, sweaty best in the summertime. Perhaps that's what Quarterstick's latest find, The Uglysuit, had in mind when they recorded their dizzy, summery single "Chicago." Although the boys are really from Oklahoma City, the poppy, if not a bit hippily, lush chorus serves well as an anthem for anyone, anywhere.

Catch the crew as they swing through Chicago at the Hideout on Saturday, June 14, prior to their debut release in mid-August. The Uglysuit will be playing alongside the likes of heavy psych-southern rockers Pontiak and boy-girl hushed-pop duo Wye Oak.

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.
