ChiIL Live Shows Update and Call For Musicians

Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros guitarist)-Kidzapalooza 2010

We've been busy turning our lens on live shows, and our archive is GROWING.   We'll continue to give you footage and stills from a number of Chicago shows, here on the ChiIL Mama blog first.  We also cover many local, under the radar events, quirky stuff to do, and loads of CD and ticket give aways that are time sensitive.


Sooooo...We want to make it easy to search for JUST coverage on your favorite festivals, bands and live theatre, so we're doing a spin off that will archive live shows/ interviews only.   Check it out as we build back in time and forward at ChiIL Live Shows over the coming months.

**We're also on the lookout for musicians who are parents (playing 21+ shows) who'd like to be interviewed and featured.   We're looking for kids punk, alternative, and indie (kindie) bands.   We also cover bands playing family friendly fests and dual audience tours (kid show by day/adult at night) that would like to be featured.    


We run weekly ticket and CD give aways, review CDs and shows, and can possibly shoot stills, video and interviews if you are playing in the Chicago area.   You can reach us at zbluesun@gmail.com.
