CHICAGO MUSIC PROJECT presents HEY CHAMP AND GUESTS

Double Door. Wicker Park. June 4th, 2009.

Chicago Music Project started off on a new project. We felt crazy enough to put our own show together. We decided to host our event at the world famous Double Door, and our journey into the unknown began.

Our experience was humbling, to say the least, but we all walked out of it a whole hell of a lot wiser and proud.

Every show has a headliner, right? How about four of them?

We snagged Lollapalooza-bound Hey Champ, in between a tours with Lupe Fiasco and the Sounds to headline for our first local music showcase live before an impressive crowd of a few hundred for a Thursday night in the middle of festival season.

Hip Hop phenom, Kid Static was cool enough to take the plunge with us; performing some of his hit tracks like "Eatchyo Samwich" and "I Remember"; an unintentional encounter with Lovers in Arms quickly had us working to sign them up to our little endeavor; and the very lovely Romi Lovel gave us one of her electrifying performances, captivating the crowd's interest with a wild wig, mask and an improvised appearance by a couple of Chicago's own bucket boys.

The camera's were set, the crowd was getting tipsy on complimentary Sailor Jerry drinks - to be completed 9/9 (4:47 am)

Chicago Music Project - IN THE STREETS

we took our cameras down to the humboldt park puerto rican festival and happened to run into Just J and Wisdom One of 1773 - and had them bust out "return of the new" for our cameras. Check 'em out.
