About [.DESCARGA.]:

Formed in 1996, [.DESCARGA.] is a band that brings together diverse backgrounds, sounds, and expressions into a unique, ever-evolving musical journey. Comprised of four musicians from different Chicago neighborhoods, the band creates a sound that blends influences from a wide range of genres—including metal, punk, industrial, alternative, house, and blues—resulting in a fusion that defies conventional boundaries.

At the forefront of the band is Hector Ivan Garcia, whose powerful and emotive vocals serve as the band's unifying force. His voice effortlessly shifts between English and Spanish, reflecting the cultural diversity of the city and the band's commitment to breaking language barriers in their music. Alongside him is Everardo "EVIL" Rodriguez, whose skillful guitar work adds intensity and depth to their sound. Rodriguez’s guitar playing, shaped by his experiences in metal, punk, and avant-garde noise, channels raw emotion and technical precision.

The rhythm section, anchored by Jose Calvo on bass and Anthony Macias on drums, drives the band's dynamic sound, providing a powerful backbone that allows for both intensity and experimentation. Together, they create a raw, energetic atmosphere that supports the band's ever-evolving musical exploration.

The name [.DESCARGA.] has evolved over the years, symbolizing a journey of transformation. Initially representing the unloading of information and discharge of energy, it has grown to embody a more profound meaning—speaking to the emotional toll of loss, particularly the loss of loved ones to gun violence. This deeply personal connection to tragedy is woven into the fabric of their music, adding an emotional layer to their sound.

Though [.DESCARGA.]’s music is shaped by a wide array of genre influences, the band’s sound is ever-changing, refusing to be confined by any single label. With their fusion of diverse musical elements, cultural expression, and social commentary, [.DESCARGA.] continues to evolve, using their platform to connect with listeners and challenge the status quo.

As the band continues to develop, [.DESCARGA.] remains dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is both introspective and cathartic, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences while sharing in the intense energy that defines their sound.

About wht.rbbt.obj:

Lauded by Rolling Stone for their "late-night decadence and velvet tones," wht.rbbt.obj started as a covert side project by married couple Frank and River Rabbitte and has since evolved into their primary creative outlet and grown into a 4-piece tour de force, blending enigmatic themes with bold, blues and soul-infused rock. Described as "Bluesy, Smoky, Sexy, and Raw," the band defies genres with a sound that has been likened to "Amy Winehouse meets The Black Keys in a game of strip poker" by James Van Osdol of WKQX's Car Con Carne, and "Heavily distorted roadhouse raunch" by NPR's Greg Kot of Sound Opinions. UpToHear Music claims, "wht.rbbt.obj will blow everything you own out of Earth's orbit." And Music Republic Magazine recently wrote, "If Amy Winehouse and Janis Joplin are your bag, then get a load of River Rabbitte.”

The band’s most recent release, “Unlucky 13,” debuted on Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM.

The band has played festivals like SXSW and Summerfest in Milwaukee, as well as a number of local street festivals. They have opened for bands like Moon Walker, Eve6, and Mom Rock; and have done some regional touring, hitting: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Louisville, Nashville, Davenport, Memphis, Richmond, Dallas, Waco and Austin.

Night summary

Lake Effect Records invites you to celebrate their next release: I’ve Dreamt of You A Thousand Times by Thysbe. We return to the Epiphany Catacombs for an evening of deep and dusty, smoked-out dance floor grooves.

To commemorate the occasion, Lake Effect resident Thysbe will be performing a special live set. We have invited some of our favorite Midwestern artists to join the night. Wicker’s Portal and Relativity Lounge will be collaborating on a joint live set. And, to top off the night, we are ecstatic to have a Chicago underground staple: Flower Food.

I Dreamt of You A Thousand Times is a dub techno head bobber. The intention for the evening will be deep, dubby and groovy. Expect each artist to offer their unique take on introspective head-nod tracks.

Flower Flood

Flower Food has become a proper force in the Chicago underground scene. She has built up an impressive resume of radio shows, underground DIY events, club shows and even festivals. We met Emma on some of the best underground dance floors in Chicago. She has a deep passion for dance music that is exemplified by her battle tested DJ skills and refined music taste.

We cannot wait to hear her take on the evening.

Thysbe

Lake Effect’s Thysbe is our newest resident. After programming the underground music festival Driftmore, they recently moved to Chicago from Madison. Thysbe is a fine purveyor of deep, left-field electronic music. Lukas’ sets can cover a wide range of genres held together by a thread that is distinctly their own. For this evening, Thysbe will be performing a live set. While debuting new songs from the upcoming release, there will be a host of new tracks written for the event.

Wicker’s Portal x Relativity Lounge

Wicker’s Portal teams up with Lake Effect don Relativity Lounge to perform a collaborative live set.

Relativity Lounge needs no introduction to fans of Lake Effect. He is a prolific producer and talented dj. Wicker’s Portal holds a special place in the Midwest bass music/midtempo scene as one of the only artists primarily performing live sets. His sound is squiggly, deep and head bop inducing. Their joining of forces is sure to be a special moment in Lake Effect history

Free Blues Friday featuring Freddie Dixon Band

Date: Friday, February 7th, 2025

Doors: 5PM for Golden Hour

Showtime: 8PM

Tickets: Free admission! RSVP BELOW

About:

Freddie is the embodiment of the Chicago Blues. The 2nd son of the world-famous 7th Son, Willie Dixon, Freddie has been surrounded by the Blues since the day he was born. His father is a blues legend as a song writer, producer, and musician. Willie was at the helm at Chess Records for many of the sides cut in the 1950’s, 1960’s and into the 1970’s.

Freddie began his blues career learning his chops playing with a number of musicians in south side blues clubs. He was soon hired to play in his father’s band, The Chicago Blues All-Stars and traveled around the world spreading the gospel of the blues.

The torch was handed to Freddie in the early 1990’s when his father passed away. Since then, Freddie has continued as a blues ambassador playing to crowds from Europe to Australia as well as locally in Chicago. In 2020 Freddie, along with Chicago Blues legends John Watkins and Maurice John Vaughan produced a 2 disc CD called “3x3,” which is available at most on line retail outlets.

Freddie is a member of the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame and currently resides in Chicago with his wife Linda.

About Luscia Jane:

Luscia Jane is a dynamic, Chicago-based indie band with a fresh and soulful sound that blends funk, rock, blues and jazz with a passion for environmental activism.

In 2023, Dante and Bredia were inspired to connect their music to their environmentalism, and form a larger band. They met X, Keys, Gabriel and Jayson through the music department at Columbia College Chicago. Each brings their own unique magic to LJ's forest funk project. The members of Luscia Jane are: Bredia Santoro, lead vocals; Dante Nottoli, lead vocals and bass; Gabriel Medina, saxophone; Jayson Verrett, guitar; Keys Nero, keyboard; and X Nero, drums.

About:

Luciano's performance takes the audience on a tour of Brazil by presenting a wide variety of Brazilian compositions combined with his own originals. In his Performance Luciano contrasts songs that have rich and complex harmonies and melodies with simple rhythms against songs that have simple harmonies and melodies with very complex rhythms, and the dynamics range from pure solo guitar and voice to the full sound of the rich Brazilian percussion in a fascinating musical way. Luciano released three albums, two of which are original music "Vida De Artista - An Artist's Life" in 2011 and “Sem Palavras – Without Words” in 2015. His 3rd Album is a 'Live Concert" at the prestigious Jazz Showcase. Make no mistake; Luciano has placed his stamp on the Brazilian music scene in Chicago.

About:

If you were around during Chicago’s underground House Music movement or Rave scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s, then you’ll be utterly familiar with the name Julio Bishop. Whether from appearing weekly on some of the hottest party flyers throughout the Midwest or because you had a copy of his now infamous mix tape, “Love Nation” sold out of all the local record stores, the name Julio Bishop is synonymous with jacking dance floors since 1987.

Getting his start as a dancer and DJ in Chicago’s nightclubs and warehouses, but soon expanding his influence; from NYC to LA, to the beaches of Miami, Puerto Rico and Mexico, Germany and Sicily, Julio has been bringing his deep, mystifying grooves to the world for over 3 decades. His intimate knowledge of classic Afro-Latin and Jazz, , as well as his acquired proficiency of Disco, Electronica, Club & Deep House takes his sets far outside the realm of what is attainable by a greener selection of DJ’s.

Funneling his talents into the studio in the early 2000’s, Julio helped launch RealDEEP Recordings, along side label partner Brian Cullen (aka Bjak) where, together they paved the way to further coproductions and solo projects on labels such as Deep Explorer Music (Madrid) and Eargasmic Recordings (Chicago).

With more releases on the way and a selection of upcoming gigs scheduled between Chicago. Puerto Rico, LA & Hawaii, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come next from this proved House Music veteran.

About Adreain Guillory:

Adreain Guillory is a visionary African American demi-couture designer and artist from Michigan. Drawing inspiration from a vibrant tapestry of influences—including childhood fairy tales, the elegance of the eighteenth century, film, Japanese anime, and classical art movements—Adreain's work is a celebration of romanticism and sophistication. The vivid memories of his youth serve as a wellspring of creativity, consistently infusing his designs with a unique sense of elegance.

By exploring the intersections of past, present, and future, Adreain cultivates volume and shape as a powerful form of cultural resistance within couture. His creations bridge the gap between representation and reality, offering a distinct perspective on the Black experience through a fantastical lens. Through his artistry, he endeavors to inspire younger generations to believe that their dreams can blossom into their reality.

About the Collection:

Whispers of the Unknown is a collection that delves into the journey from the turbulence of external love to the quiet strength of self-love. It speaks to the idea that even amidst the chaos of life, beauty and peace can be found in the simplest of moments—a breeze through a meadow, the sunlight filtering through an oak tree. These fleeting, serene encounters offer solace, even in the fiercest storms, if only we pause and listen.

Inspired by fairytale illustrations and the natural world, the designs marry romanticism with both modern and historical elements. Stripes, an AJOVANG staple, are reimagined—layered, twisted, and gathered—to symbolize the disarray of love. The palette transitions from warm hues, embodying the innocence of love’s beginnings, to cool tones that evoke calm. Darker shades follow, signifying the hardship of love lost, before finally giving way to soft cream—representing clarity, self-acceptance, and the embrace of one’s own heart.

This collection is a tale of transformation: from hopelessness to self-discovery, a journey told as if whispered by a fairy, full of promise yet uncertain of the future, but brimming with hope.

About Tiwa Bleu:

Tiwa Bleu (Gustavo Flores) is an artist, producer, jazz instrumentalist, and all round percussionist from Aurora IL. From his late childhood to teen years, he has classically studied to understand the craft of drumming and percussion playing, soon catching interest in jazz at the age of 13. His deep diving into music throughout high school led him to be inspired by the works of Bobby Hutcherson, Wayne Shorter, Cal Tjader, and Sun Ra; alongside composers from Italian film music libraries such as Piero Piccioni, Piero Umilliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, and Nora Orlandi. Although Tiwa's roots reside in jazz, he's also participated in rock, R&B, and hip hop settings such as the rock band Vacants and solo artists FELTWELL, Nico Nico, and Kaicrewsade. In 2022, Tiwa formed an outlet for traditional jazz, acid jazz, and neo soul: The Luxure Trio. After meeting more jazz instrumentalists along the way, Tiwa has had the opportunity to add more textures to his project, giving birth, to his full band.

About Folkus:

Folkus weaves together a unique and energetic mixture of original and folk music, with an emphasis on improvisation, melody, and interaction. Drawing from a wide range of influences, they freely embrace different musical traditions beyond the confines of jazz. Featuring Andy Danstrom on drums, Owen Frankel on bass, Gabe Heinemann on saxophone, and Solomon Lindenberg on piano, each member brings a different musical perspective that creates a collaborative band sound

About:

Indigo X Camila will be an evening of musical exploration and storytelling. We invite You to join us for two sets of original compositions and arrangements all rooted in soul music and storytelling. This show is an extension of Indigo Sessions, a show series founded by Aliyah Jones, meant to celebrate and nurture the artistry of Black Women and Queer artists. Indigo is excited to watch the series evolve with each new space it exists within.

Indigo is a musical collective led by Aliyah Jones. Aliyah Jones is a vocalist, composer, and curator based in Chicago, IL. The importance of music was instilled in her at an early age. Every milestone, celebration, or simple journey to school was scored with anything from the sultry serenades of Whitney Houston to the invigorating bounce of house music. Aliyah began her formal training at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artist and most recently graduated from the Jazz Studies program at DePaul University. The music of Indigo centers her love of storytelling and exploration, while honoring the traditions of Jazz, RnB, and Neo-Soul.

Born and raised on the West Side of Chicago, Camila is a multifaceted talent and multidisciplinary excelling as a vocalist, poet, performer and visual artist. Beginning her journey as a vocal student, she swiftly emerged as a gifted artist and creative force performing, and recording in and around the city’s jazz and avant-garde scene. Performing at venues like the Jazz Showcase, Andys Jazz Club, and other performance series like Elastic Arts Improvisational Music Series and The Living-room Series by Audiotree, Camila’s artistic background explores the sounds, textures, and feelings of Jazz and Soul Music, introducing rhythms influenced by her lineage from the Caribbean Islands. She hopes to cultivate an air of intimacy and evoking feelings of nostalgia and closeness within her independent and collaborative works.

About CALI JEWLS:

CALI JEWLS, founded in May 2019 by Caleb Harris, Alex Wolfe, and Julio Bonfante, began as a three-piece alt-pop group with a shared vision for innovative and heartfelt music. They launched their journey with their debut single, "Posture," in August 2019, quickly building excitement and setting their sights on live performances. Yet, like countless artists, their plans were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which steered them toward writing and releasing more music instead of performing.

In 2021, the trio made the pivotal decision to move to Nashville, immersing themselves in a music-centric environment to sharpen their sound and create new opportunities. It was in this period that longtime friend and unofficial “ghost member” Matt Slack joined officially, solidifying CALI JEWLS as a four-piece in late 2021. Together, the band invested in intensive rehearsals and recording sessions, patiently waiting for their chance to perform live. This persistence paid off in January 2024 with their first official show, which opened doors to gigs at Nashville's iconic venues, including The Basement, The End, and East Room, and even a festival appearance in Huntsville, Alabama.

October 2024 saw the release of their debut EP, a project that encapsulates the band’s resilience and evolving sound. CALI JEWLS now looks ahead to reconnect with their Chicago roots, planning their first hometown show in early 2025. With strengthened friendships and a shared commitment to growth, CALI JEWLS is excited to expand their fanbase, bring their music to more stages, and continue evolving as a dynamic presence in the alt-pop scene.
