It’s no surprise that Chicago’s Big Paraid have made a raucous and loud entrance into the music scene considering that’s the feel of their music. This 60’s rock tinged trio is on a rapid climb, delivering a barrage of catchy and bombastic tunes with only two guitars and drums.

Live From Studio 10 airs every Wednesday at 8pm CST on Vocalo 90.7 FM (CHI) / 89.5 FM (NWI) and Vocalo.org, and features emerging local bands and music artists (with the occasional national act stopping by). No other station brings you this much local music, and no other show in the region does it live. The show is hosted by Jesse Menendez, produced by Fyodor Sakhnovski and engineered by Adam Yoffe.

In this episode: The exhibit War Baby/Love Child at the DePaul Art Museum highlights the work of mixed race artists who share Asian heritage in their identities. Curator Laura Kina and artist Mequitta Ahuja joined AMp hosts Brian Babylon and Molly Adams in the studio this morning and discussed their personal family lineage, the stereotype stamped on mixed children whose roots came from Asian countries where the United States was involved in, and how kinship is formed among “war babies” through artistic expression and exhibits.

Chicago MC Pinqy Ring joined Jesse Menendez on The MusicVox to discuss her current release - A Beautiful Mess mixtape and the experiences that informed it, such as the near fatal car accident, and how she got away from a lifestyle of gang banging and violence and embraced a more positive lifestyle.

Every neighborhood in Chicago is as distinct as the voices it produces. Yet, if we look close enough, we’d be surprised to find the similarities between them. In this edition of our on-going series Block-2-Block, we hear from Vell Mullens, the front man of a rock band The Moses Gun, who talks about his experiences growing up in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood in Chicago.

Finally, DJ Chicken George concludes the show with his signature “Jazztronica” sound.

Megan Mercier says the world is built on competition. Women are told that they can essentially be and do whatever their heart desires regardless of their gender, but the hard-hitting reality of competition and that not being totally true sets in.

The creator of the performance along with director Stephanie Shaw join Shantell & Luis in studio to talk about the performance which “smashes the traditional American beauty pageant form with real stories of fully-grown girls stumbling into womanhood.”

After the first listen of their full-length The Remains of An Effort, it’s clear that Train Company is more than a blues band. The group crafts a diverse multi-layered sound with discernible traces of jazz, pop and even orchestral arrangements, all while effortlessly switching between anthemic rock vocals and airy indie rock introspection.
