Fujiya & Miyagi Light-up Chicago

FujiyaMiyagi.jpgThe first time I saw Fujiya & Miyagi in concert, I almost thought they were joking with their funky krautrock shtick, but the gig didn't stop and I actually started digging it. You've probably heard the heavy baseline from their song, Collarbone, in that Miller Light "Beer Heaven" commercial. Their third album, Lightbulbs, was released in September and is a continuation of the same groovy tracks from 2006's Transparent Things. Fujiya & Miyagi make another stop in Chicago on Thursday, February 12 at Bottom Lounge (1375 W. Lake). Brooklyn trio School of Seven Bells will also play. Show starts at 9pm. Tickets are on sale now for $16 ($18 day of show). 18 & up.

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.
