Shout out to local rockers Neptune’s Core, who name checked White Mystery in their interview with 102.7 KIIS FM. Here’s the excerpt:
Who are some of your biggest music influences?
“The Chicago music scene has been very supportive and encouraging of us. It’s a very healthy and friendly scene. Artists like OHMME, Twin Peaks, LaLaLaLa, Dehd, VV Lightbody, Whitney, White Mystery and Liam Kazar and venues like Schubas, Double Door, City Winery, Fitzgeralds and Martys have treated us like a real band since we were young when we first began. That has always provided confidence in allowing us to explore our music.”
