Ed Schrader's Music Beat - Nitetrotter Session



Illustration Kaiya Mccormick / Sound Engineering Nathan Gregory / Text Nathan Gregory - September 16, 2011

Ed Schrader's Music Beat are a lush duo from Baltimore, MD. We were lucky enough to meet them when they rolled through Chicago and played at the late Drone City with tour mates Dope Body, Wume and Nude Sunrise. Just when you think nothing could follow Dope Body,Ed's Music Beat just lit the room up. Crossing back in forth from beautiful vocal led songs to in your face punk ballads. The best part is it is all done with just a bass guitar and floor tom. I hope you find this live performance as fun to listen to as we do. Try to find Ed Schrader's Music Beat as they continue to tour all around. Also enjoy art by newest Nitetrotter artist Kaiya Mccormick. Our favorite track is definitely the ever so beautiful cover of Bruce Springsteen's, "Im on Fire."

Ed Schrader's Music Beat - Live @Drone City

Recorded at Drone City in Chicago, IL.

When we came to Situations to record a marathon of sessions from some of Chicago's finest, I really had never heard of Animal City. I quickly was hit with a sound I truly enjoyed and now allover Chicago all I see is Animal City and they deserve it. A drug fueled, revengeful but loving sound that is mastered by four amazing musicians of their trade. If you get a chance go check out Animal City then do it cause you won't be dissapointed. Enjoy six tracks brought to you by Animal City.

Here is also live footage straight from there recording session at Situations.



Animal City - Steal Your Drink, Anna Gotta Devito, Drummers Sister, Im a Diffuser, Cave Boy Want, Stink I Bring

Hurricanes of Love - Nitetrotter Session

What words could ever begin to start describing Frank Hurricane, the soul behind Hurricanes of Love. The most consistently jolly creature on the planet. We first met Frank in Pensacola, FL where he wowed us with his complex guitar style while also play playing a kick drum with his foot. This all happened while he sang songs of mountain journeys and life endeavors. We were very excited to welcome Frank here in Chicago where he played a bunch of shows around the city and spread his love and friendship to many. We tracked this poetic session at the late Drone City and is accompanied by his tour mates and close friends Many Mansions on percussion. As Frank Hurricane himself would say, "Smoke a pound blunt," and jolm on this groovy session.

Also check out Hurricanes of Love live at the Medusa in Minneapolis courtesy of NitetrotterTV.
