Ed Schrader's Music Beat - Nitetrotter Session

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."

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.

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.

Red button, green button, blue button, yellow. The press of these video game machine buttons and the slide of a finger across his handmade synth device blast the audience ears delightfully. This gravid groove ignites any listeners aural taste buds. His noiseful trances change to sublime vibes and at times dancey goodness. Milton Melvin Croissant plays rad music and played behind his transfixing visuals can trip out the most sober at state. MMCIII hails from Denver, Co and we met him one fine evening when he played Schwag City in Chicago where we were able to tape his whole performace.

Many Mansions is Chang Dhan-Ali, a psychic mind originally from Boston but now resides in Brooklyn where he has added good friend AnD on percussion. Many Mansions journeyed to Chicago along with Frank Hurricane (Hurricanes of Love) to play a small mini tour with friends Nude Sunrise around the midwest and Chicago. One psychedelic day we recorded this hot track of his that maybe featured on an upcoming release so keep your ear out for it. This epic track features all of Nude Sunrise, Hurricanes of Love and Randy Kile adding waves of color as his backing band.

Smoke a hash bong and get lost in this groovy jam. happy nitetrottin'.

Speculator dropped by our house one day with Punks On Mars. It was a great off the cuff show that we documented for you! This resident of Los Angeles blew us away, we have been hearing about him non stop ever since. We are very excited to finally post this session!

As usual this was recorded the day after a wild Schwag Stock. Due to a computer keyboard getting beer dumped on it we had to record this with a minimal setup. Listen to this Wisconsin duo tear it up.

Hope you enjoy!

Punks On Mars is formerly known as Luke Perry and hails from Brooklyn. He so kindly stopped by with Speculator and they both fucking rocked our attic. We were extremely happy with how this came out! Punks On Mars left his piece so he better stop by again and get it.

Peace in the middle east. XXntxxxxxxxx

Another brick in the great pyramid is Maymok. He was traveling with Vacation Dad and Merlin Monroe when they all recently came to chill. Maymok's composition is an interesting ditty that starts treading in to a dark atonal direction while tightly relieving the tension with some fresh tropical sounding arrangements.

Please come back soon Maymok. NITETROTTERADIATION
