Review: Biggest Mouth: Campus Clash

Sophie Win.jpgLast week I attended the final event for Biggest Mouth: Campus Clash which we have been previewing for the last couple of weeks. The talent competition put finalists from Columbia College, Roosevelt University and DePaul University up against each other. There were a lot of entertaining acts, but only three could walk away winners. Still, it was a great opportunity for all the contestants to perform on the Metro stage.

The top two numbers combined music and dance for the win. Here we bring you a photo review of the evening's winners. (Photos by Jim Kopeny)

Winners Sophie's Choice (Roosevelt) received $3,000, a Shure Microphones prize package, a $100 Epic Burger gift certificate and an opening slot at a future Metro show.
SC Win.jpgSinger: Sophie Grimm. Dancers: Katie Huff, Amanda Miller and Tiffany Taylor and Amy Orman (choreographer).

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.
