CHIRP Radio writesThe CHIRP Radio Interview: Mother Fortune

Liz Mason of CHIRP Radio recently spoke with Shami of Mother Fortune, a Chicago-based five-piece hip-hop cooperative. Their new EP, entitled Ma, Don't Look Back, integrates funk, jazz, and soul influences into their unique sound, encouraging the listener to ask the hard questions.

You can listen to their podcast episode here, or wherever you get your podcasts. 

 

Liz Mason: Shami, congrats on your new EP. It feels like a party. How did the songs on it come to be? 

Shami: So there's a group of songs that we've played around at different shows, and we just decided on the ones that gave us the most of an emotional reaction, like the best of what we've made in the window of playing together in the last year and a half, and we just put our entire spirit into it.

CHIRP Radio writesCHIRP Radio Q&A With This House Is Creaking (Performing at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on 11/24)

Ghost Days

Chicago band This House Is Creaking will perform at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on Sunday November 24th. We recently caught up with the band to ask a few questions.

So, What’s going on? Tell us about your current releases and/or upcoming shows (such as CHIRP Night at the Whistler!).

We are playing a lot of Black Ops 6 and watching Jersey Shore. We're putting a lot of time into translating these songs live and our next show is for Chirp Night at Whistler on November 24. Shooting for our next release to be early 2025.

How do you go about turning your thoughts, ideas, and feelings into sounds?

We don't force it. We make stuff that we want to hear.
