Save Lafayette
Dear CPS: Don’t Break Up The Band
When students at Lafayette in Humboldt Park learned their school was on the CPS closings list, they took to their instruments. Their orchestra is in danger.

Gear Is Good: The Empress, The Monarch & Polished Ebony
Rich, Lush And Handcrafted
Three pieces.
1. Empress Tape Delay.
“Joel plays the new Empress Tape Delay through a Fender Princeton. Its a rich, lush tape delay in an incredibly small box. 3 flavors of tape age let you choose how dark and gritty the repeats will get while filter and modulation controls allow for even more fine tuning. Tap tempos with ratio multiplier mean rhythms like dotted eights are all at your fingertips.”

Local Music Notebook: Short, Sharp Shocked
By The Beachwood Rock Local Affairs Desk
A loose collection of whatnot.
1. Michelle Shocked A Lost Soul.
The anarchic skateboard punk rocker has filled her troubled soul for years with a zealous Christianity that unsurprisingly led to an anti-gay rant that caused a spate of concert cancellations by various promoters including those at SPACE in Evanston, where Shocked was to appear on May 5th.
This video from 2006 at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ displays both her devotion and powerful voice.
