The Bunker presents m50, Rude Mechanical Orchestra, BIG A little a, and Parts & Labor at subTonic
Free downstairs, $5 upstairs
Rude Mechanical Orchestra is a brass marching band put together for the RNC protests. They join us tonight at the un-official afterparty for the monthly Critical Mass bikeride. They are sure to bring a great crowd with them. m50 does a radio show and plays out regularly in Chicago. He likes to mix it up and play from many genres, which is something that always excites us at the Bunker. http://m50.net/ Drumming party madness, punk stylee, topped with excrutiating fun. Don't miss their Tonic Debut. "Propelled by three drummers (four counting John Atkinson, who flails his maracas like a chimp on crack), Aa consistently wows loft parties with a sonic battery of driving beats, ethereal electronics, and samples of sirens and elephant cries. There are lyrics in all that yelling, though we still can't tell what they say." - New York Magazine http://www.sleeep.com/Aa/ Parts & Labor offer hard rock, maybe punk, maybe no wave, maybe just loud and new and full of great energy textures and noise. They've been compared in part to Silver Apples, Disco Inferno, Lightning Bolt, and Black Dice and really you just have to see them to know what they're about. "Parts & Labor don't seem interested so much in establishing a mood as in punching you in the face (like Lightning Bolt, only slightly less akin to dental surgery)."
