Yea Big & Kid Static + Blue Ribbon Glee Club + The Zookeepers + El Viaje
Description
The Blue Ribbon Glee Club, Chicago's own punk-rock–style choir, takes tunes like Fugazi's “Waiting Room” and turns them into surreal a cappella anthems. Made up of mostly local musicians, including Devin Davis, the roughly 30-member group covers the rock gamut from the Pixies' “Where Is My Mind?” to Bowie's “Life on Mars?” to the Clash's “Spanish Bombs.” Locals Yea Big & Kid Static are the ones to keep an ear on: The duo's music boils over with exquisite thumping beats and nutty rhymes to keep the body rocking.
