Josiah Wolf (WHY?)with Ofir Klemperer /Stoop Kids/Hanging Hearts

Join us for a night of twisted experimental jazz, haze and rock as we welcome in:

/// josiah wolf with Ofir Klemperer///

Josiah Wolf is the drummer and multi-instrumentalist for the band WHY? (www.whywithaquestionmark.com). In 2003 Josiah self-released The josiah EP as a limited run tour CD. In March 2010 he released his first full-length solo LP, titled Jetlag (www.anticon.com). Following the release he toured solo (opening for WHY?) across Europe. Soon after Liz Hodson joined the band and the duo began touring extensively across the US. Their live arrangement makes for a unique experience with both musicians playing multiple instruments (often at once), looping melodies and rhythms and creating interesting textures without the use of prerecorded sound. In the fall of 2010 they recorded a 6 song covers EP titled Under Lovers Covers (josiahwolflizhodson.bandcamp.com). They are currently working on a full length record together that will fuse the sounds of Liz’s vocal melodies and Josiah’s rhythmic stylings.

/// Stoop Kids /// (New Orleans)

Stoop Kids’ sound is an eclectic mix of soul, surf, hip-hop, doo-wop, rock, and jazz with a psychedelic pop aftertaste. This, combined with their high-energy, theatrical, performances, makes Stoop Kids unique and unpredictable.

/// Hanging Hearts /// (CHI)

Hanging Hearts is a free-rock spirited Chicago-based trio. Described by European audiences as “hammering the walls between genres,” their music bridges the gap between jazz, rock, and experimental music. The band features Chris Weller on tenor saxophone, Cole DeGenova on keyboards, and Devin Drobka on drums.
