Kelsey Phillips writesPresenting CHIRP Night at The Whistler with the I Ching Quartet!
It's that time, folks! Every second Monday of the month, CHIRP gathers some great live musicians and some people that dig live music in the magical cocktail-heaven that is The Whistler!
This month CHIRP welcomes local folksters I Ching Quartet (pronounced "EE CHING"), which ironically is NOT, in fact, a quartet anymore. Formed in 2005 by four friends on a porch on the West side, I Ching has evolved into seven active members with occasional guest appearances. They rock everything from banjos to violins to ukeleles, and perform soulful acoustic folk music that the group has said is best experienced live. Joined by I Ching is local singer/songwriter Kelsey Wild, who, at the ripe age of 22, has been writing music since 2004 and has played venues across the city, Township and the Double Door to name just a few.
This is a great local lineup that you won't want to miss, plus CHIRP DJs will be playing after sets and raffling off some great prizes, as per usual. Head down to the Whistler on Monday, June 10th for this 21+ event. No cover, and festivities start at 9pm. See you there!

Jason Crock writesCHIRP Radio Welcomes !!! to Bottom Lounge on Saturday, June 8
CHIRP welcomes !!! to their show at Bottom Lounge on Saturday, June 8. The band has been sticking it to conventional pronunciation since 2001, blending disparate strands of punk and dance music over several albums and singles for labels like GSL, Touch & Go and Warp. The now-veteran dance-punk band just released their fifth album, THR!!!ER, this year on Warp. But their reputation was made on their thrilling live show, and after being together for over a decade, the band shows no signs of slowing down.
DFA recording artist Sinkane opens the all-ages show starting at 7PM, where our volunteers will be on-hand, grooving responsibly behind the CHIRP table. Visit bottomlounge.com for more info.
