WMXM Presents

Friday March 2nd, 2012 

Doors @8pm  Free!

GYPSYBLOOD W/HEAVY TIMES

WMXM (Lake Forest College Radio, 88.9fm) is glad to be hosting Gypsyblood w/Heavy Times on March 2nd, 2012. We’d love to open our doors to the public for a concert in a way that only a College Radio station can: in a Gothic-style Chapel built in the 1800s.  

 

Gypsyblood

“noisy and fuzzy intensity to a sonic extreme just for the thrill” – Consequence of Sound

After the breakup of their first group, Adam James and Kyle Victor, the two quickly got to work on their new project, and the partnership turned into something of a creative fit. They wrote and recorded over 30 songs in a single winter on equipment usually reserved for film audio recordings, and the product Cold in the Guestway is a showcase of the duos talent.

Heavy Times

As Chicago’s most lethal band of the fast-rising noise pop neurotics, Heavy Times have carved out a uniquely hypnotic sound that’s hard to pin down but easy to fall for, and fast.
