Rogue Wave D Tour Screening Saturday (FREE)

I've been on the lookout for the film D Tour to hit Chicago since I first heard about the project, and I'm psyched to see it screening for free tomorrow afternoon at the Cultural Center. An award-winning documentary about Rogue Wave's drummer Pat Spurgeon and his quest to find a new kidney, the film follows Spurgeon just as he's beginning to tour heavily with the band. It's an amazing examination of the emotional struggle of living life and following your passion all the while with an illness. Check the trailer below:

D3: Deconstruct, Discover Detroit Art and Music Series

By Mica Alaniz

In the world of sports, we might be rivals. In the world of industry, we're colleagues. On the world's stage, we're close relatives, but in dance music Chicago and Detroit are the kind of sister cities that finish each others' sentences. But in light of the ever-increasing ability to connect with people of the other side of the planet, Chicago's been neglecting regular contact with our own next door neighbor. There was once a time when music, artists and energy traveled freely between the two cities, and this Friday, March 12th at Smartbar, D3: Deconstruct, Discover Detroit Art and Music Series hopes to revive this exchange of ideas.
