The bold fuzztastic rock’n’roll of Chicago based White Mystery is a powerful thing made of an audio force that can topple buildings. Their crunchy garage madness is an assault of viciously raw guitar and a blunt force attack of brutal drumming. (more…)

What’s Going On: 8/17 – 8/24

3.  Shannon and The Clams w/ White Mystery & The Men

Where:  East End
How Much:  $8 (+21)
When:  Monday, August 22nd
Why:  Shannon Shaw and Alex White are two ladies of rock who know how much hard and tedious the music world (which is dominantly a man’s world) can be. With this in mind, both front rock’n’roll bands—and man, they sure do kick some ass at it.  Shannon, with her beloved Clams, has an amazing set of pipes and knows how to use them. Whereas Miss Alex White, has a Rickenbacker and isn’t afraid to shred.

When Hunx and his Punx came to Chicago with Shannon and the Clams in April, they wanted late night pizza after their Empty Bottle show.  In true White Mystery snack fashion, we brought them to Chicago Ave. for 24 hour slice options.  Upon entry, Village Pizza flicked their lights on-and-off to create a disco effect for the gaggle of make-up smeared punks.  Francis Scott Key White enjoying the pizza dance party made the cut for the Hunx and his Punx tour video here!
