White Mystery @ The Hideout Tomorrow Night

WhiteMysteryChicaGoGo

White Mystery @ ChicaGoGo by Lee Klawans


If you're a fan of stripped down garage rock, loud drums, and/or redheads, meet your perfect match. White Mystery is the two-piece brother/sister duo of Alex and Francis White. Alex is best known as the guitar rockin' front women of Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra, but with her latest venture with brother Francis, she strips it down to a guitar and heavy-handed drum garage rock sound. The twosome put on an energetic show, and had one of the most killer tambourine and guitar rock outs I've ever seen recently when they appeared in ChicaGoGo (as evident in the photo above).

Also playing is noteworthy act, Stranger Waves, who were recently picked as the "Best Rock or Pop Act" by The Reader. The trio of 18-year-old rockers supposedly puts on one of the best and most rowdy local shows around, creating a racket of noise with two guitars and driving drums. I'm looking forward to finally checking them out live myself. The music will be gritty, loud, and it will make you bounce all around Hideout's floor.

White Mystery and Stranger Waves play The Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, tomorrow night (May 23rd) at 9pm. Tickets are $8, and the show is 21+

Beyond Vibrations: The Deaf Experience In Music

By Aharona Ament

What is music like when you can't hear it? It's a question that sounds like a philosophical debate on par with trees falling in the woods and single hands clapping, but this is not a question for rhetorical amusement, it's something that audiophiles as well as hearing people in love with signed languages and Deaf culture have thought about in depth. What is the deaf person's experience with an art form that is seemingly only valued by those with fully functioning cochleas?
