Hey Champ To Tour With The Sounds

heychampnye.jpgOne of my favorite local bands, Hey Champ, has just announced that they will be joining The Sounds on their US spring tour. The group had a breakout hit last summer with the dance single (and video) "Cold Dust Girl." Lately, the guys have been busy in the recording studio working on a new album, and if you've been at any of their live shows recently, you've likely heard a preview. The tour stops in Chicago on May 7 at Double Door. Can't wait that long? You can also catch them there this Saturday with Tigercity.

"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.
