[av_heading heading='Trailer release for Chi-raq ' tag='h3' style='blockquote modern-quote' size='' subheading_active='subheading_below' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='' custom_font=''] Written by: Matthew McGuire [/av_heading] Spike Lee’s new movie “Chi-raq” has just released a new trailer. This preview lands just a month ahead of its release. The plot of film centers on gang violence in Chicago’s neighborhoods, as well as a deeper look on the gun control and culture in the city. We find that this film does an excellent job of showing the problems that are taking place in Chicago, without glorying the violence. The city of Chicago experiences a larger than average homicide rate

'Otherworldly Pleasures' grabbed my attention and showcased an acoustic/electric mix of downtempo rock that reminded me of the Weezer in the '90s. The band has two guitar players that mirror each other well on this album. The backstory behind the band features bassist and singer Joey Scala and his younger

The doors opened at 8 p.m. and the Way Down Wanderers performed from 9-10 p.m. Their traditional bluegrass sound reminded me of the Henhouse Prowlers. Both bands showcase the Chicago bluegrass style, and I enjoyed listening to their approach to live music before the Jeff Austin Band got ready to go.
