Two Fresh in Chicago @ Kinetic Playground
(Late Night Lab Coat After Party!)
Two Fresh consists of twin brothers Sherwyn and Kendrick Nicholls and is accompanied live by drummer Colby Buckler. The twins have been making music since their freshman year of high school. In early December 2008 they added Colby on drums for the live setting. Collectively, they keep the whole place moving with a sound that fuses hip-...hop and jazz with the intensity of uniquely styled live drums.
Two Fresh has come along way since grasping their sound. In October of 2009 the duo released their first EP "Baker's Dozen" on 1320 records. In January of 2010 they started LabCoat, a collective of artists out of Asheville, North Carolina, including Jables and Bookworm, who began experimenting with the use of collaborations in an effort to push the boundaries of all musical aspects. Currently working on more in depth tracks combining aspects of experimental music and hip hop, look out for new releases from Two Fresh at www.twofreshbeats.com, www.labcoated.com, www.1320records.com.
Aside from their studio work, Two Fresh has built a massive following with their constant touring. Look for them to keep this up in 2010 with several tour dates in North America and Europe. |

Guitarist Clutch Johnson and banjo player Chuck Oakton met each other in early 2001 when, during the talent portion of the Mr. Universe pageant, both contestants played the same song. The song was Bill Monroe's 'Real Life Blues' and, embarrassing a moment though it was, an instant friendship was formed. They began playing as a duo until out of spite and jealousy. Then in the summer of 2002 Jeffrey Chestnut, with whom Oakton had worked in the adult film 'Shotgun Charlie,' began sitting in on fiddle. Finally, in May 2003, bass fiddler Bradley Longwood blackmailed his way into the band and Sexfist was born. They have since taken Chicago by storm, amazing audiences with their high-energy, hard-driving picking and angelic harmony singing. Sexfist has won numerous awards and accolades including Third All-Time Highest Score on the Golden Tee game at the Oasis in Rogers Park, a citation in June 2005 by Officer Reginald A. White for disorderly conduct, and a 2007 Franky nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The band is not currently touring in support of its self-titled debut CD as they are not legally allowed to operate motor vehicles. |

DJ CLARK KENT ::
I guess you could call me a take it to the limit kind of person. I work too much, party too much, don't sleep enough and am trying to find my way through this thing called life. My interests are pretty out there, meaning they dont really go together at all. I am dj (club / underground) trying to get my break here in chi town and haven't done bad so far but guest spots at clubs is not enough. I want to be able to have a regular spot and rock it like no one else. On the other hand I am a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder. They are very satisfying and keep me going every day, plus i have to stay somewhat healthy due to advertising reasons LOL!. Other than that i just "ride in the car" and see where life takes me. < Free and cool

If it wasn't for the Midwest's amazing live music scene, Tula would not exist.
After several individual projects across the Midwest, the guys each met while attending various Midwest shows and festivals. Realizing they had a common interest in creating fresh, uncompromising improvised music, the band drew together on a mission to move bodies. Tula formed a sound that was their own, played relentless shows with no end times, and hit the ground running. |

-----------
Jack Straw was born in the winter of 2000 as the result of a meeting between guitarist Jon Gram and keyboardist Barry Brown, brought together by a music-loving mutual friend who saw some possibilities. Jon added to the mix bassist Ben Wilson. With Jon and Barry leading the way, Jack Straw brings forth a richly diverse array of music, mixing together songs by the likes of Phish, the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, the Allman Brothers, Jerry Garcia's bluegrass band Old and in the Way, and Jon's original music. |

"Kinetix played to a packed house and one of the most responsive crowds all weekend. Their style is completely rockin', with just a dash of pop so that it's catchy without being cheesy; and their compositions are well crafted with proper build-up and execution, not just a bunch of noisy, repetitive jamming. And their instrumentation is top-notch and tight, with each member finding his niche and working with the rest of the group as a whole to create a very unique and powerful sound. I can't recommend these guys enough."
