Chicago Bands on KEXP
KEXP Seattle recorded live in-studio sets with Chicago electronica popsters Walter Meego and the local band The Changes and offered them as podcasts through iTunes. Walter Meego offers a link to the stream of their performance; The Changes offer a link to download their set. What are you waiting for?
While neither group is really my cup of tea, I’m always happy to pimp local talent. Oh, and the live sets were recorded at Bucktown’s very own Engine Studios. I mention this only because, as we all know, if Bucktown needs anything, it is more cache.
