The Greenleaf Band at Goose Island Wriggleyville

Okay, the members are characters that look like they stepped out of an indie comic-book. Imagine an orchestra of peasant shirts and baggy jeans, toss in some nice checkered heels and a black beret and you've got the eclectic look of these musicians. Every member has his/her own look, which reflects the sound, a combo of pop, folk, blue grass, and country styles (or so the band states on their site) that's pumping through the rhythmic veins of Chicago. When they play, no matter with who, they steal the show, the lights, and possibly a few drinks. And what do they sing about, things as simple as "Fiddle Away," which by the way is the title of said song. Let your brain be fiddle-diddled with some free listening on REVERBNATION.

TCHEM: TELEVISION

Tim Michel: As a word-smith and jam-maker, one wonders where he gets the time to dish out prolific and tasty sound sauce so often. This is TELEVISION:

"Long Nights by David Scheier. Ink on Paper, 2011, response to TCHEM's song of the same title."

Synth child TCHEM channel surfs some high fructose sound to deliver a space cruising soundtrack.  Fittingly electric acid shoe-gaze guitar riffs sinking into the sponge of your ears: “Self Image” and “Going Inside.” While other beats are minimal lucid day dreams, “Close is Far,” and “Television.” TCHEM serves a plate of two minute comets, and digital star dust—futuristic and delightfully simple.
