Tink (aka Tink G) is clearly the next big thing to come out of Chicago. It was last year at this time that she was preparing to release her incredible mixtape "Winter’s Diary 2". Now she working with the likes of Timbaland, Jay Z, and Rick Ross. Her success is truly impressive and well deserved. Below is her new track "Tell The Children" produced by Timbaland.

The Brezhnev Society, “Make Up Our Mind”
With stark red and black imagery, a section of their website dedicated to propaghanda posters, and the tagline of "Enjoy state approved music," Brezhnev Society might come across as slightly different than many of their electronica bretheren. The duo of Todd Mark Evans and Jason Halbert have put together two tracks so far with the underlying concept of imagining the turn music would have taken had the Cold War’s outcome swung in another direction. What comes of this is a brand of Euro-pop fueled by dreams of revolution. We tend to shy away from posting lyric videos, but we love how competely the Brezhnev Society communicates their aesthetic for "Make Up Our Minds." сделать! Хорошо citizen! -Terra James-Jura

Void Vision Record Release Show at KFN Dec. 3
Void Vision, a.k.a. Shari Vari, celebrates the release of her latest record Sub Rosa (Mannequin Records) this evening at Kung Fu Necktie. The album has a persistent percussive synth base, which predatorily lurks, providing a drafty dangerous atmosphere. However, these ominous tones simultaneously cause a protective shot of adrenaline, letting you escape into back alley groove, while eluding caution in favor of experience. Tonight, The Bad Doctors will join them in their dark-wave endeavor; the group’s heart-thumping, dance-accelerating electro-post punk takes varying sonic turns, rocketing through a narrowing unlit street that has the potential to lead to an airy open field. The bill will also feature Morsberger brothers experimental noise outfit Drums Like Machine Guns and the NYC-based synth-pop of YOU (whom are also on Blind Prophet Records with Void Vision). Matthew Kosloff of Pissed Jeans, a.k.a. DJ BCBG, will get the ball rolling. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Influential electro-pop duo The Blow plays Glasslands on 12.05
Not exactly an emerging band (the project has been around in a shape or another since 2002 and has already enjoyed some degree of popularity) The Blow‘s music is nonetheless still rather overlooked, and deserves the attention of all those who (like us) are in love with the delicately edgy electro-pop experimentations of bands it anticipated (and probably influenced) like St. Vincent and Glasser. Initially the solo home recording project of Olympia, Washington based songwriter Khaela Maricich, the act became permanently a duo in 2004, when Jona Bechtolt (now of YACHT) injected his electronic production into its sound; the collaboration peaked with the band’s breakout 2007 album "Paper Television." After Bechtolt’s departure, Melissa Dyne joined in, bringing her background in installation, sound, and conceptual art into the band’s live show. This formation, which relocated to Brooklyn in 2008, has finally given us its first album in 2013, entitled "The Blow". The band’s live show is now half rock concert, half art installation, with Dyne often performing from a location off stage. Don’t miss the opportunity to see them live at Glasslands on December 5.

Congratulations to The Ignorist, Our New Artist of the Month
We’re happy to announce The Ignorist as our newest Artist of the Month. The band hing out in the rear until mid-poll, when a surge of votes bimped them up into the lead and kept them there. We’re thrilled to have them gracing the top of our little blog, so that anyone that ventures to click on the header will be similarly transported back to 1995. The Ignorist, though a generation or two behind, are dead ringers for the whole lo-fi college scene. We love the scewing guitars on their album "There is No Vacancy." We can’t wait to hear more from these gentlemen, and we’re going to use this blog as a platform to demand that they play out so we can buy them a beer. –Terra James-Jura
