Mitch and the Polecats

Kimmi rounded up a bunch of artists from right around where she lives in Chicago, both on purpose and by accident (the artists… I’m sure she lives where she does by something other than an accident.)  We’ve also got an artist that’s squeaked into the playlist on a technicality (where the singer was born) but hey – you give us a reason to play some great music and we will.

Interested to see what else we played on the show…

David Shankle Group

Kimmi’s batting first and furious this time bringing some great metal tracks along, including the David Shankle Group and Nekropsy.  I’m combating the evil spirits with some flowery indie pop from Iowans The Nadas and a great indie rock band, Paper Arrows.

It’s a cage match.  Who do you vote for?  Metal?  Indie?  Leave a comment on the page and we’ll see who wins.  Maybe next time Kimmi will have to really start making fun of indie songs!

(If you compare the pictures here, the two bands could have a beard war!  Let’s storm the castle!)

Kimmi and myself are on board this week with eleven great tracks for y’all, all of which from in and around our great Chicago.  Included this week is a band from (Chicago Acoustic Underground host)

Michael Teach’s managing portfolio,

Goodbyehome

Goodbyehome with a great acoustically driven track, “Apache Hotel”.  You’ll also hear from Juzt Nutz, the funny guys who are kicking off show #1 and a track from Gold Motel, the fantastic new project of Greta Morgan (formally of The Hush Sound).

We’re also on the lookout for more tunes – head over to the Insomnia Radio submit page to send us your tracks (just remind them it’s for IR: Chicago) and then drop us an email at chicago [at] insomniaradio [dot] net.  We’re especially looking for tracks to use for a new intro jingle, and if you fancy producing some little in-between jingles for us we’d LOVE you. (you know, “This is -so and so- and you’re listening to Justin and Kimmi on Insomnia Radio Chicago” or something like that.)
