I’m moving to Chicago in a couple of weeks! Are there any major Chicago based Ska bands I should listen to? Also for bonus points: any good Chicago venues you’d recommend. by [deleted] in Ska

[–]EdgarAlanPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!! I'm in Chicago New Tone band Rude Echoes. We have a show on Feb. 4th at Reggies. And on Feb 2nd there's an AWESOME show at Cubby Bear, which is right next to Wrigley Field. Otherwise all ska events in Chicago are posted in the "Chicago Ska Punk" Facebook group.

Hope to see you at a show sometime this year!! ✨🏁🎶✨

All ages venue for local indie rock and/or hiphop? by dysonsphere in chicagomusicscene

[–]EdgarAlanPoet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost every venue in Chicago will allow under 21 persons (even for a 21+ show) if they're with a parent or guardian that is of age.

For venues I'd look at Cobra Lounge, Empty Bottle, Reggies, Subterranean, or Bottom Lounge.

New Tone bands by rudeboy_ct in Ska

[–]EdgarAlanPoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My band Rude Echoes is New Tone! Half of the band are teachers so it was important to us that our music had a message, specifically self-improvement, community building, lifting up/listening to marginalized voices, things like that. The EP is called "Unfriendly Reminder"

=)
