"Who Has The Biggest Mouth In Chicago?"

Think of it as our very own version of 'Chicago Idol.' On May 5th students from Columbia College Chicago, DePaul University and Roosevelt University will compete in the Biggest Mouth: Campus Clash talent contest to determine "who has the biggest mouth in Chicago." The event will take place at Metro and feature spoken word, hip-hop, R&B and rock bands. Each school will have five finalists facing off for the grand prize.

Judging the competition will be professionals from Bandit Management, Biz 3, and a talent buyer from the Metro. This is an exciting opportunity for students not only showcase their craft, but to perform on the Metro stage and be seen by influential leaders in Chicago's music industry. The winner of the competition will receive $3,000, a Shure Microphones prize package, a $100 Epic Burger gift certificate and an opening slot at a future Metro show.

Here at Transmission, we will be your source for all things "Campus Clash." Finalists will be announced soon, and in the weeks leading up to the event, we will be spotlighting the contestants from each of the three schools--so you can size up the competition for yourself.

The Metro is located at 3730 N. Clark St. The show will start at 6:30pm and tickets are free. 18 & up.

She's Money

By Kara Luger

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello. 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.
