CHIRP Radio writesCHIRP Radio Q&A With Beh’Ouai (Performing at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on 6/6)

[image by Billy Helmkamp from The Whistler]

Chicago band Beh'Ouai ("bay-way") is performing at CHIRP Night at the Whistler on Tuesday, June 6th. We caught up with the band to find out more about them and their music…

A quick intro of yourselves?
Hello, we are Laure Elie & Krame from the band Beh'Ouai.

So...What’s going on? Tell us about your current releases and/or upcoming shows (such as CHIRP Night at the Whistler!).
Lots! We are currently recording and bringing our live set to the people, including playing CHIRP Night at the Whistler June 6, before we move to France at the end of July.

How do you go about turning your thoughts, ideas, and feelings into sounds?
Staring into the void, then screaming into the void, then dancing into the void.

If your music was a kind of beer, ice cream, or coffee (take your pick), what would it taste like?
Cafe du Monde

KSanders writesDispatches from the 2023 Chicago Critics Film Festival: “Brother,” “Revoir Paris,” and “Starring Jerry As Himself”

by Kyle Sanders

The 10th Annual Chicago Critics Film Festival has come to a close! I must say as a first time reviewer, I enjoyed the experience immensely and look forward to doing it all again next year.

Here are some final thoughts of the remaining titles I had on my watchlist:

Brother

It's difficult for me to pinpoint just what kind of story Brother wants to tell. Is it about the bond between two siblings born to immigrant parents? A drama about race relations in Scarborough? A gritty take on gang violence and police brutality? Or is it an intimate tale about Black lives? Perhaps it's a little of everything.

From the start, we're introduced to Francis and Michael, two close-knit brothers about to do something dangerous and stupid, but nevertheless, together.

Francis is the oldest, and naturally, Michael defers to Francis for everything. Living in a small apartment with their single Caribbean mother who works late shifts in order to provide for her family, the brothers are often left alone to their own devices.

As they grow older, it's clear Michael is the more studious and obedient of the two. Francis on the other hand--well, nothing is going to get in the way of his dreams.
