Okay, so we admit that any link between print and White Mystery seems pretty tenuous. When Alex White is involved, who cares? The first lady of Chicago garage rock, White released a couple of memorable soul-punk albums mid-decade for In the Red. She then recruited brother Francis on drums and formed the even rougher, stripped down duo White Mystery. The pair gigs around Chicago often; but the mix of Keith Moon-style pummeling and Exene-worthy, blastoff-engine pipes (tossed around wildly as their curly red mops) only gets better with more face time. They’re scheduled to play at 9pm on Friday night.
