Graffiti

The band has recently become aware that its name has been spray-painted on at least two buildings in the Bucktown neighborhood in Chicago. We DO NOT condone this activity and have not taken part in it. Whoever is doing this needs to STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Paul, Blair, Joe, Nick and Darren

Soft Speaker to Pillage Beat Kitchen

Brain surgery with power tools has given you the blues. With your feet in the air and your head on the ground, you woke up in the morning with your mind in a paper bag. The fumes from the grid rid your lobes of oxygen.

Your mind is creative and free! Feed your brain a droplet of Soft Speaker followed with a twist of STEPHEN PAUL SMOKER and a leaf of GANGLIANS.

Soft Speaker will be performing first, on stage at 9:30pm sharp!

Cole’s Stage – Located at Milwaukee & Belden

Are you planning an evening at Milwaukee Avenue Arts Fest? Perhaps you have created a futuristic multi-media piece using a hot glue gun, pinecones, and old circuit boards. You might even cover your body in old 45’s and magnetic tape to protest the deplorable state of modern pop music.

Don’t forget to make Soft Speaker a part of your Saturday evening at the Arts Fest. Let’s check it out in a creative way!
