Catch A Wave... by Stay Smooth

We are very sorry to announce that Freesol has canceled their performance for this evening.

Down With Webster(also known as DWW) is a six piece hip-hop band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada made up of Patrick Gillett (Pat) on Vocals and Guitar, Martin Seja (Bucky Buck) and Cameron Hunter (Cam) on Vocals, Tyler Armes on Bass and Keyboards, Andrew Martino (Marty) on Drums, and Dave Ferris (Diggy) as DJ. During live shows the band sometimes uses a three piece horn section.

The band’s debut EP Time to Win Vol. 1 was released on October 6, 2009, and the single “Rich Girl$” debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at #47 for the week of October 24, 2009, and peaked at #21 on January 9, 2010. The follow-up single “Your Man” was released to Canadian radio stations in January 2010. Since then it has peaked at #12 on the Canadian Hot 100, outperforming their debut single on the chart. In August 2010, the band released “Whoa is Me” as their last single on the “Time to Win, Vol. 1” EP.

From mid-October 2010 through late November, Down with Webster toured with 3oh!3 on the “Streets of Gold” tour. They gained a large American following during this. After the tour, the boys arrived back to Toronto to finish recording their follow-up album, “Time to Win, Vol. 2” before their own headlining tour, “Wintour 2011”.

Playing a unique blend of folk, pop, bluegrass and country styles, the Greenleaf Band is fast building a fan base in Chicago. Since forming in early 2010, the band, made up of Paul Larson, Arielle Luckmann and Amberlee Sheehan, has played at such local venues as Uncommon Ground, Goose Island, Sylvie’s, Gallery Caberet and the Grafton. The Greenleaf Band plays original music, with an occasional cover tune.

With Larson and Sheehan trading off on guitar and mandolin, and Luckmann playing fiddle, the band offers distinctive three-part harmonies and music that is fun, engaging and energetic.

Chicago’s A Lull is nearly impossible to describe without qualifiers. Equal parts mystical and primal, the music crafted by these five multi-instrumentalists gathers the recognizable traits of a half dozen indie micro-genres, tosses out all but the stem cells, then adds the calculated, percussive verve of a half dozen rhythm sections on top of beautifully crafted songwriting to result in a sound that is as unique as it is memorable. A Lull blurs the lines between the synthesized and organic. The evocative lyrics and vocals of Nigel Evan Dennis are engulfed with music elements that live on the barriers between guitars, electronics, and effects, then (with each member of the band having at one point banged on a drum) covered with endless layers of percussion. Recording the music themselves, the band is not confined to traditional studio techniques or time constraints, and the obsessive attention to detail shows. Employing anything available to create beats, melodies, textures and layers of sound, A Lull’s sonic landscape is experimental in the ways that it takes form, yet at the same time inherently musical.
