Seen on the Scene

Dropkick Murphys/Naked Raygun at Congress Theater (wins the prize for most kids we've seen at an "adult" all ages show this year) 2/26/2011    Check out Naked Raygun again this year at Riot Fest in October.

Families in Chicago rock!   Here at ChiIL Mama we're featuring a regular Seen on the Scene gallery of kids we've seen out at shows with their families.   This summer and into fall, we'll do you one better.

We have a bunch of CDs, DVDs, tickets and rock swag to give away to featured photos winners.  And we'll show off everyone's rockin' punk kin in a t-shirt, bandana or rock merch from any of the bands playing the following big Chi-Town music fests (you can even DIY it up if you don't have one, or hit up Psychobaby or Record Breakers Store at Reggies Rock Club for sweet onsies and black toddler concert t's):

Lollapalooza/Kidzapalooza

North Coast Music Festival

Riot Fest

Send submissions to zbluesun@gmail.com with Photo Contest in the subject line and the fest your kid is wearing band gear from and we'll get those cute mugs up on our site.    All we need is your favorite music to rock out to and the age(s) of your kid(s), so we can match you to prizes you'll love, if you're one of our winning photos, and you're good to go.   Kids' first names or nicknames are optional if you'd like us to include them with the photos.
