Playing the Printer’s Ball was awesome, as you can see! “Party” by White Mystery is the soundtrack for this unique event by Columbia College and Poetry Magazine.

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.

The Printers’ Ball: IT’S ALIVE! used the White Mystery BIRTHDAY song for their video at Uncle Fun with Janice Lim! Check out White Mystery at Printer’s Ball on Friday July 29, 2011 at 9PM here.
