Chicago Mixtape #328 features music by Angela James, Wild Belle, Not For You, White Mystery, Cafe Racer, Deefhoof and much more. This week we are featuring 14 bands playing in the Chicagoland area!

Join White Mystery DJs at the legendary GMan (formerly Gingerman) in Wrigleyville on May 21, 2019, from 8pm-12am! The dynamic duo spins all vinyl after the Cubs game. Click here for the invite.

Not so fast! There’s no need to vacate the Loop straight after work. For a sixth year, the Chicago Loop Alliance and curators will organize interactive, pop-up art exhibitions in downtown alleys. Click here to read more on Curbed Chicago’s page.

Back in 2012, Airheads Candy invited White Mystery the band to visit their factory in Erlanger, KY! Needless to say, it was a “sweet” experience.

White Mystery are siblings Miss Alex White and Francis Scott Key White, a Chicago based garage rock duo formed in 2008. Omaha artist Mike Kronberger (link his name to https://mikekronberger.com/white-mystery) created this poster in 2015 for their Omaha show at the Reverb Lounge with pretty much just a pencil adding the colors in digitally. The hair pattern was later used as a background graphic for the Miss Alex White custom signature fuzz pedal “Firekeeper.”

Thanks to Justin Rosado from JBTV for this incredible, psychedelic poster art! Follow him on Instagram here.

Miss Alex White & Francis Scott Key White are sibling rock’n’roll duo White Mystery from Chicago. Since April 20, 2008, White Mystery self-released eight records, played 1000 shows on three continents with the likes of Iggy Pop, Garbage, Thee Ohsees, and Patti Smith; modeled for Levi’s Jeans; performed in the Sundance film Station to Station; earned rave reviews from MTV, VICE, NPR Sound Opinions, and High Times; jammed on a parade float with Sir Richard Branson; and rocked the NBC late night TV show, Last Call with Carson Daly. Witness for yourself what Pitchfork calls, “jovial rock’n’roll delivery and DIY sensibility.”
