11 Helpful North Coast Nuggets & After Party Roundup
LIONIZE Announce Tour With Streelight Manifesto & Clutch
Washington, DC quartet LIONIZE are pleased to announce that they will be spending this fall on tour with Streetlight Manifesto, as well as playing select dates with Maryland rockers CLUTCH. The first leg of the tour kicks off October 16th in Toronto and runs through October 28th in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Following those dates LIONIZE will join up with CLUTCH for a string of shows kicking off Halloween night in Flint, MI and wrapping up on November 4th in Detroit, MI. After a short break the band will return to the road with Streetlight Manifesto on November 13th in Portland, OR through December 7th in Sacramento, CA. A complete list of dates can be found below.
Guitarist/Vocalist Nate Bergman commented on the band's upcoming tour dates with Streetlight Manifesto and CLUTCH:
"We are looking forward to going out and providing support on such diverse bills. It's refreshing for us to be able to bring in our fans and expose our sound to new fans via a ska/punk tour and a tour with CLUTCH, who is absolutely one of the finest rock bands on the planet. We will be road-testing new material and will finally get back to cities long overdue for a LIONIZE set."
For a band with so little pretense, sometimes it can be easy to forget just how much LIONIZE accomplished since their inception in 2004. From being the first band to play both Bonnaroo and the Vans Warped Tour in the same year to their five full-length albums to virtually non-stop touring year after year, the groove-heavy rock group has dared to do more than most bands could ever hope to accomplish.
On the release of their most recent album, Superczar and the Vulture, produced by the famed J. Robbins and their first on Pentimento Music Company, the band showcases their live sound in a way that they have never done before, allowing the listener an unprecedented look at the experience of hearing the songs played live in front of them.
With their heavy touring continuing throughout the foreseeable future, one can be assured that LIONIZE's incomparable sound will only continue to grow stronger with each show and audiences will persist in being impressed by a band which, as one critic said, makes even the most notable musicians "shake their heads and wish they'd thought of that."

Mucca Pazza Album Release at Bottom Lounge #original live show photos #original HD videos
Rhythmic, cult-like chanting filled the air at Bottom Lounge on August 18th.
Moooo ka pa za
Moo KA PA ZA
MUCCA PAZZA

MUCCA PAZZA
When we saw multiple members of the crowd sporting cow costumes, we knew it would be a night to remember!
Chi-town's own favorite punk rock marching band rose to the occasion for their raucous, official album release party for Safety Fifth, and did not disappoint. The full sized marching band in their wabi sabi, mismatched uniforms and their cheerleaders with shredded caution tape pom pons, are our kinda crazy. They truly shine in live performance and are a spectacle to see.
Their name may be Italian for mad cow or crazy cow, but we think they're crazy like a fox....crazy talented musicians playing crazy good music...and a crazy fun show.
*worlds collide alert #1: Dug ran into two sets of friends from the TV production world at the show. One of those friends is a neighbor to one of the Mucca Pazza pom pon girls, who is also an accomplished local aerialist/acro/circus performer. She's played Alice in Wonderland and has ties to another of our favs, The Actors Gymnasium.
*worlds collide alert #2: ChiIL Mama has caught Mucca Pazza's head muckety muck, Mark Messing, for video interviews twice at Chicago Children's Theatre--once in a duo with Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of Hugo Cabret. (Brian's book was the basis for Oscar Award winning hit movie, Hugo, and The Houdini Box play.)
The other Mark Messing/ ChiIL Mama interview is in a duo with genius director, David Kersnar, in an amusingly Ernie and Bert-like bed interview on the set of Goodnight Moon!
Check them both out by clicking the links above. Mark is the mad maestro and musical mastermind behind Mucca Pazza and the scores to numerous musicals and plays including the critically acclaimed Hunchback Variations.
Check back with ChiIL Live Shows like we vote in Chi, IL...early and often. We have loads more HD video clips and live show footage coming soon.
